HOW TO INSTALL ALUMINUM GATE

1. Measure opening between posts (gates can be

customized to ﬁt nearly any opening up to 48"

[1219 mm] wide).

2. Subtract 1-7/8" (48 mm) from above measurement.

This will allow for proper gapping and location

of gate.

3. Identify top and bottom of panel.

NOTE: The posts only ﬁt in one direction.

4. Lay panel on a ﬂat non-marring surface. Place

posts on top of panel. Place posts so that width

measurement from Step 2 is to the outside of each

post.

5. Adjust posts so that cut marks do not fall on a

baluster. Make sure distance from ﬁrst baluster to

post is the same on both sides. Mark cut locations on

panel.

NOTE: If widths do fall on a baluster, cut baluster ﬂush at

top and bottom prior to cutting panel.

6. Cut panel using a reciprocating saw (equipped with a

metal blade).

7. Insert posts into panel.

NOTE: Make sure top and bottom of panel orientation is

correct.
