Push-To-Open Installation Information
Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas!
A “Push-to-Open” gate opens out from the property (operator arm extends to open the gate). A Push-To-
Open installation requires the purchase of a Push-To-Open Bracket
[FM148].
In a Push-To-Open installation the operator is installed while the gate is in the CLOSED POSITION.
Install the Operator
Follow directions for installing the
Diamond beginning on page 7. The Push-
To-Open installation diers from the Pull-To-
Open installation in the following ways:
1. In a Push-To-Open installation, the
arm fully extends to open the gate,
and it fully retracts to close the gate.
(C)
2. You will install the operator while the
gate is in the CLOSED POSITION
(arm fully retracted). (A)
3. You must use the Push-to-Open Post Pivot Bracket
[FM148] in the
Post Bracket assembly. (B)
4. IMPORTANT: While determining the mounting point for the post pivot
bracket assembly be sure that the position allows for 2” clearance
between the gate and the operator in both the open and closed
positions (see diagram below). This clearance will give the operator
the most efficient leverage point for opening and closing the gate and
more importantly provides the least possible pinch area. (C)
