Installation Procedure
1.
Note: The gap between the Fence
Post and the Gate Frame must be
between
3
/
8
" (10mm) and 1
1
/
4
"
(31mm). Determine the desired
location of the lock (i.e. Lock
Body) on the Gate Frame. If
required, use one of the Spacers
supplied (see matrix chart
below) to provide a neat finish of the
Latch Body against the Gate Frame.
Remove screws "D" (obscured), insert
spacer and replace screws "D".
2.
(Always predrill metal using the
5
/
32
" (4mm) drillbit.) Using four of
the 1"x10g wafer-head, self-drilling
screws supplied [“A”], fix the Lock
Body onto the Gate Frame (see Fig 1.)
3.
The Lock Tail (located inside the
Lock Cover) and the slot in the Rotor
must both be horizontal to the ground
so that when assembling the Lock
Cover onto the Lock Body the Lock Tail
will slide into the corresponding slot in the Rotor. If the Lock Tail is not horizontal, use needle-nosed pliers and turn it 90˚ until it’s in the horizontal position.
If the slot in the Rotor is not horizontal, turn the Rotor 90˚ with your fingers until the slot is horizontal (see Fig. 2).
4.
Place the Lock Cover straight onto and directly over the Lock Body (not at an angle) ensuring that the “Lock Tail” bar (see Figure 2) is inserted horizontally
into the corresponding slot within the molded rotor.
Important:
Once the Latch Cover is firmly in place, carefully insert the two longest screws [“B”] at a 90˚
angle using a power drill…however, do not tighten fully with the power drill. Complete the insertion of the screws using a hand screwdriver. DO NOT over-
tighten the screws. Check that the handles move freely and in unison.
5.
Take the Keeper and align it on the post so that it is centered on the Lock (Figure 1), as shown by the dashed line. Holding the Keeper in position, take the
three remaining 1"x10g wafer-head, self-drilling screws and fix it to the fence post. For best results, mount all these screws in the center of the adjustment slots.
6.
Using the hand screwdriver, insert it into the Adjustment Screw "C" (obscured) between the Keeper and its mounting bracket. Adjust the screw horizontally, as
required, so that the gate closes and locks smoothly. Note that the minimum gap between Keeper and Lock is desirable. The Keeper should be adjusted so that the
maximum gap is no greater than
3
/
8
"
(10mm) between the edge of the Keeper and the edge of the Lock Body.
Open and close the gate to check that the lock operates correctly. Adjust the Keeper as necessary at any time to ensure safe operation of the lock.
NOTE:
For future vertical adjustment of the Keeper, open gate and adjust Keeper horizontally to reveal the
screw on the fence post. Loosen all three screws on the post and adjust Keeper to the desired vertical position.
Re-tighten all screws and re-adjust the Keeper horizontally so the
