Estate Swing
IMPORTANT: Determining Correct Setback
PUSH TO OPEN
-
This operation is commonly used if you driveway slopes up
after the gate, preventing it from swinging in. This means the gate operator is
mounted on the inside of the property and pushes your gate out away from the
orooertv.

There are 4 factors to keep in mind when finding the setback mounting:
1) The (A) measurement is perpendicular from the gate in the CLOSED position.
2) There must be clearance for your gate opener to attach to the gate in the closed position.
This is most commonly an issue on columns. Re-positioning of the hinges or Push-To-Open
operation may be re-quired to achieve clearance.
3) The brackets do not and must not move after installation.
4) The "L" shape brackets can be mounted anywhere on the post or column. They can be
mounted on a separate post or fence as well. The only factor of importance is that when
mounting of the brackets is done the hole in the boomerang bracket that the gate opener
mounts on matches the setback on this page.
It is best to C-Clamp brackets on and test arm movement clearance before permanently attachin
them.
To determine the position of the
gate mount-ing bracket (above is
for the post mounting bracket) refer
