Picture here shows view from BEHIND step, the
latch mounting post should face the same way
as the hinge post.

Slide latch mounting post (AC LATCHPT) onto hinge
mounting post (AC HINGEMT) on left side of step.

properly otherwise the latch will not catch.

latch assembly (AC GATELATH).
•
There is a raised area of the latch mounting post
where you will secure the latch itself using
the (4) short screws supplied with the latch.
•
Secure bar to either of the far openings on the
plate. Make sure bar lines up with latch so it
will close properly.
•
Using two remaining short screws, secure plate to
the corner of the gate through two holes closest to
the latch.
