Read and follow ALL instructions.

With a level, draw a horizontal line across center of 

fence rail and continue across to receptor post. Then 

draw a vertical line down the center of the receptor gate 

post creating a center reference point (+). 

On receptor post, measure and mark vertical center line 

3/8” above reference point (+) and 3/8” below reference 

point (+). Then on fence rail, horizontally measure and 

mark 6-3/4” and 9-1/4” from reference point (+) along 

horizontal line on fence rail. 

Check measurements. If welding, use these reference 

points to locate the lock mounting bracket and strike 

bracket. If bolting, center punch these marks and drill 

pilot holes using 1/8” bit. (Fig A) Using a long 3/8” drill 

bit, and using the pilot holes as your guide, drill holes 

completely through post and fence rail (taking care to 

be as level and true as possible). 

Mount the strike bracket without the strike pin to the 

receptor post using the two 6” carriage bolts and lock 

nuts supplied (to allow for adjustment, do not tighten 

completely). (Fig B)

Now install the lock mounting bracket on the center 

of the gate rail using the 4” carriage bolts and lock nuts 

supplied (again, do not tighten completely). (Fig B) 

Before mounting the electric lock to the bracket, remove 

the bottom plug and the end cap (using the allen wrench 

supplied). Attach the Green (+) and Blue (-) wires to the 

wires leading to your gate opener control box. (Fig C)   

Do not attach wires to operator yet!

 

Disconnect power to opener. On USAutomatic operators, 

remove motor plug(s) (X1 or X2) from control board.

Mount the Lock. Line up the holes on the mounting 

bracket with the four mounting holes on the lock body. 

Install the four 2” carriage bolts and tighten completely. 

You are now ready to test for binding. (Fig. D)

Disconnect operator arm from gate.
