Mounting The Lock:
Disconnect gate opener by removing hairpin clip and clevis pin from the gate bracket end of the
opener. Disconnecting the opener will allow the gate to swing freely during installation of the gate
lock. If you have a dual gate system, be sure to disconnect both gate openers.
Step 1:
With the gate in the closed position, determine the best location for the lock and lock receiver. The lock
and receiver must be level and aligned with the opener. Also, the lock should have a solid surface or
cross member to provide stability.
Step 2:
Clamp receiver and lock together (with receiver pin hole and lock slot aligned) against the gate post and
mark their positions to drill receiver holes (see Illustration B and C, page 3). The receiver must be
mounted with through bolts, not U-bolts, to allow lock to seat properly. Fasten the receiver to the gate
post.
Step 3:
Recheck the lock position and alignment, then mark its position for drill holes. Drill the holes on gate
supports through the slots in the lock bracket. U-bolts and saddles can be used to mount the lock on
chain link gate supports. Secure the lock to the gate. Install clevis pin and locking cap by placing clevis
pin through slots in lock receiver and hammering the clevis pin into the locking cap (see Illustration D),
and check the alignment again.
Manual Lock Release:
The GTO Automatic Gate Lock is keyed for manual release. Should the electronic release be disabled for any
reason, simply use the key to manually open the lock.
Receiver pin hole and lock slot must line up.
Check alignment with pin out of receiver.
Lock and receiver must be level
and aligned with opener.
