PUSH-TO-OPEN INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
PUSH-TO-OPEN gates open out from the property (opener arms extend
to open). A Push-To-Open Bracket is required for this type of installation. In
a Push-To-Open installation, the opener is installed while the gate is in the
closed position and the opener fully retracted.
Swinging gates MUST NEVER open into public access areas!
Step 1
Insert the 3 / 8 " x 2" bolt through the center hole of the post brackets and
post pivot bracket as shown. Fasten a 3 / 8 " lock washer, 3 / 8 " washer and
3 / 8 " nut on the end of the bolt. DO NOT overtighten the nut because the
post pivot bracket will have to be adjusted later.
Step 2
Attach post bracket assembly and gate bracket to the opener with the
clevis pins and bushings. Secure the clevis pins with hairpin clips.
Step 3
With the gate in the closed position (up to 110º from its open position), and the opener fully retracted, adjust the
post bracket assembly and gate bracket until the opener is level. While holding the opener level, use C-clamps
to temporarily keep the post bracket assembly and gate bracket in their respective positions on the fence post
and gate.
