Adjusting Gate
Insert the bolt sleeve between the “eye holes” before sliding the long
bolts completely through. Thread the 1/2” nuts over the end of each
bolt and tighten with a wrench. Note: to center your gate in the arbor
opening, adjust the hinge nuts as needed.
Set a level across the top rail to make sure the gate is hanging level. You
may need to adjust the hinge nuts again to achieve this.
Once the gate is level, position the latch “catch” onto the arbor post
and mark out the hole locations. Pre-drill the holes (use 1/8” drill bit -
purchased separately) and fasten the latch catch to the arbor post
using the black screws provided with the latch kit.
If latch does not catch into the latch catch properly, you can adjust the
hinges by loosening the nuts on either side of the hinge bolt. Close the
gate so that the latch is in the latch catch then adjust the nuts as neces-
sary to have the gate hang in position properly. If any other adjust-
ments are needed, repeat as necessary. Gate should swing and close
into latch smoothly.
