Instructions / Assembly

03-AG1-CONTRACTOR 2016-10-21

• Familiarize yourself with the gate hardware frames and instructions.

• Note: concave side of spreader bars faces down.

• This frame is designed to open INWARD (into your fenced area), if your application calls for an OUTWARD opening you

can adjust the placement of the POST HINGES to the opposite side of the post. Additional modiﬁcations may be needed

for outward swinging gates.

• For double drive gates openings use two gate kits. The gates will assemble the same way, just reversed. For the

latch installation on a double-drive gate, ﬁrst attach the STRIKER BAR, bring both gates together and line up the

LATCH CATCH with the striker bar for correct alignment to gate frame and attach. Suggested space between double

gates is 1 inch.

• For double-drive gates drop rod kits are highly recommended (sold separately).

• As a Security precaution - Installing HINGE (E) with the top bolt facing down and the bottom bolt facing up will prevent

the potential theft by locking the frame into itself.

• Make sure all 4x4’s posts and 2x4’s rails are straight (bowing or crooked 4x4 & 2x4’s may make the adjust-a-gate out

of alignment)

• If cutting the spreader bars spray all cut ends with a Rust Oleum® type product to prevent rusting.

GETTING READY TO ASSEMBLE YOUR GATE KIT

B) Measure up 10” and down 10” to ﬁnd the CENTER

C) Position POST HINGE BRACKETS so J-BOLTS point toward

the center point and the hinge plates are on the inside

gate swinging side of the post. Attach brackets using 2”

WOOD SCREWS (J)

Note: for best results this Adjust-A-Gate is designed to open

inward but can be modifed to open outward by placing the

hinges on the opposite side of the post

STEP 2: GATE HINGE (D) and FRAME (A) INSTALLATION

A) Loosely attach the FRAME HINGES (D) to the HINGE SIDE of

the GATE FRAME (A) - remember that the pre-drilled hole

piece.

BOTTOM POST HINGE (E), tighten bolt.
