Assembling the Gate

Note: For optimal performance and aesthetics, we recommend a walk gate width of

40-1/2”. This is accomplished utilizing the width of 4 pickets from the Dover fence

panel.

• Slide the gate jamb on to the fence panel and place the hinges in the center of the fence rail. Using the hinge as a guide, drill the four (4) necessary ¼” holes for the hinge bolts. Ensure the rails are fully inserted in the jamb before drilling. The bolts need to go through the jamb and rail to function properly. See Fig. 3. • Insert the bolts and loosely attach the nuts (these will be tightened later). Duplicate for each of the four corners.

• Deslice la jamba de la puerta en el panel de la cerca y ponga las bisagras en el centro de la baranda. Usando la bisagra como guía, taladre los cuatro (4) huecos de ¼ de pulgada que se necesitan para los pernos de la bisagra. Asegúrese que los listones estén completamente insertados en la jamba antes de perforar. Los pernos deben atravesar la jamba y el listón para funcionar correctamente. Vea la Fig. 3. • Inserte los pernos y ponga las tuercas sin apretar (éstas se apretarán después).
