Step 1:
Mount the Lower Pillar Mount Bracket
a.
Determine location of lower bracket
Determine the desired height of the bottom of your gate above ground level and place
your lower pillar mount bracket onto the pillar/post accordingly.
b.
Level lower pillar mount bracket
Once the desired location of the lower pillar mount bracket is determined, make sure
the bracket is level/square onto the pillar/post by using a level and/or square.
c.
Mark pilot holes onto pillar/post for lower pillar mount bracket
Once the lower bracket is level, mark all 4 pilot holes onto the pillar/post using the
lower pillar mount bracket as your guide.
d.
Mounting your lower pillar mount bracket onto pillar/post
Depending on the construction of your pillar/post, drill your pilot holes and securely
attach the lower pillar mount bracket. Make sure the bracket is securely attached to the
pillar/post to ensure that it safely carries the weight load anticipated with your particular
gate installation.
Step 2:
Mounting your Turnstyle Operator

Place Turnstyle operator into the lower bracket
Loosen or remove the collar clamp from the lower bracket using a 5/16” hex wrench to
increase ease of placing the inner tube into the lower bracket.
Now place the inner round steel tube extending from the bottom of the Turnstyle gate
operator into the lower pillar mount bracket and hold the operator upright/parallel to the
pillar/post.

How to Install a Turnstyle
Pillar Mount Gate Mounting System (GMS)™
The following instructions are for installation of a Turnstyle Pillar Mount GMS™ onto typical wood
post(s) upon level to near level ground.
If your gates will be mounted over ground where interference between the bottom of the gate and
the ground could occur when the gate is operated, see your gate fabricator and installer for correct
gate fabrication and location of the GMS™.
Make sure you use a drill bit that corresponds
with the material of the pillar/post into which
you will be drilling.
If dual gate system is being installed, start your
installation with the pillar/post located on the
highest ground.
