The 5” x 5” is a very important requirement to be aware of during installation of the
post mounting bracket. The 5” x 5” setback allows the operator arm to achieve
appropriate and equal leverage during opening and closing cycles.
To determine your 5” x 5” setback position
measure from the center of the gate hinge
back towards the inside of the gate, perpen-
dicular to the gate, 5”.
Then making a 90 degree turn in the direc-
tion of the post, parallel to the gate,
measure 5”.
This point will be your post pivot point for
your opener arm. Position your mounting
bracket so one of the holes lines up with
the determined post pivot point.
The set back can also be reached by adding
an angle pieces to your post (square posts)
to extend the width of the post or by adding
a short secondary mounting post near the
gate posts*.
