SMART SYSTEMS FOR ACCESS CONTROL
Gate Reinforcement Methods
(fig. 11)
IMPORTANT:
Use wood or metal reinforcement plates or
pipes (not included) when mounting the gate bracket to
thin-walled tube gates or panel gates.
Identify the Correct Mounting Positions of
the Gate Bracket and the Post Mount
Bracket Assembly
This section presents instructions for identifying the cor-
rect mounting position of the gate bracket and the post
mount bracket assembly for pull-to-open gates. For
push-to-open gates, see
Push-to-Open Installation on
page 26
.
NOTE:
The direction a gate opens and closes is deter-
mined by standing inside the gated property and facing
towards the gate.
Step 1
(fig. 12)
Assemble the post mount bracket assembly by placing
the pivot bracket between the two post brackets. Insert
the 3/8” x 2” hex bolt through the center hole of the
two post brackets and the pivot bracket. Place a 3/8”
washer, a 3/8” lock washer, and a 3/8” hex nut on the
bottom of the 3/8” x 2” hex bolt and hand tighten.
