Installation Guide

Lay two of the horizontal rails across the pickets so the notched rails
line up with the grooves on the pickets (fig. 3).
Using a non-marring rubber mallet, tap the horizontal rail, locking the
notched rail into the pickets. Repeat this process with the next notched
rail. Carefully flip the panel over and install remaining horizontal rails as
outlined in the previous step.
Place gate jambs on both sides of the rails and place the hinges in the
center of the fence rail. Using the bracket as a guide, drill the three (3)
necessary ¼" holes for the bracket bolts. Repeat these steps for the
hinged brackets as well (fig. 4). Ensure the rails are fully inserted in the
jamb before drilling. The bolts need to go through the jamb and rail to
function properly.
Slide the hinged bracket and bracket on the top and bottom of the gate
jambs. Attach hinges to jambs with the supplied through bolts. Connect
bolts with the supplied cap nuts. Ensure the gate is square before all
bolts are tight. When square, tighten all bolts with a 7/16" wrench.

PLANNING: Prior to construction, check with your local regulatory
agency for special code requirements in your area. Contact your
utility supplier to locate and mark underground lines.
Careful planning and measuring of your fence project is essential,
as moving posts after the concrete sets is extremely difficult.
NOTE: PicketLock
is a patent-pending technology that provides
a glue- and fastener-free connection between the pickets and
rails. You may spray soapy water onto components to help them
slide more easily into their corresponding channels. A non-marring
rubber mallet may also be used to gently tap components more
firmly into place.
Find a clean surface for gate panel assembly. Beginning with the
starter picket, lay all pickets in the same direction and connect them
so the tongue side fits into the groove side (fig. 1).
Place the groove of the top rail down firmly over the top of the pickets
and position rail so that it's flush on both ends (fig. 2).
