SLEEK FENCE INSTALLATION GUIDE
CREATING AND INSTALLING CUSTOM GRAVEL BOARDS/KICKBOARD FILLERS UNDER THE FENCE
If your property slopes or has some awkward drop offs along the fence line, you can also utilize our universal channel sets to
mount these fillers. Keep in mind you will need extra panels or offcuts from panels to fill these gaps.
C) INSTALL GATES
GENERAL
These instructions cover the installation of our standard
hinges and pad-lockable latches. If you desire a key-lock
handle or code lock we highly recommend you hire a
professional.
GATE PROTECTION
Keep the plastic wrap on the gates until installation is
complete – cut holes in the plastic to mount hinges and
latch.
POST SPACING FOR 40” WIDE GATES
Install gate posts 41.5” to 42” apart – between posts, not
center to center of posts.
MOUNT HINGES
Lay the gate on a table or sawhorses and mount the hinges
6” up from the bottom, and 6” down from the top of the
gate, as shown in picture below. Lift the gate to the correct
height between posts and shim underneath to keep it
stable while screwing in the hinges. Adjust the hinges to
ensure the gate is centered, and parallel to the posts. These
hinges can also be set up as self-closing using the little pin
and adjustor tool.
MOUNT LATCH
Install the latch as show in the picture below. Once
complete you may need to make minor adjustments with
the adjustable hinges to optimize the latching mechanism.
