The lower LEFT handrail on the exterior portion of the entry has holes to accept the gate
hinges & gate stop (see Details 8.1 & 8.2). Begin by securing the gate stop in place
(Detail 8.3). Fit the stop on the outside face of the handrail over the
center
two holes -
it is form fitting (see Detail 8.4). Secure using two 1/4 x 3/4" bolts, washers on inside &
nuts. Tighten hardware. Fit the outer hinges in place around the handrail at the top and
bottom hole locations (see Detail 8.5 & 8.6). Likewise, they are form fitting and will snap
around handrail.
HINT
: the outer hinges are tight fitting and it is much easier if the
outer hinge parts are heated before fitting them in place. Gently heat parts with hot
water, blow dryer or leave them in direct sunlight so the plastic becomes more flexible
and is easier to fit around handrail. The inner hinge parts fit on the inside of the handrail
and align with the large on the outside (see Detail 8.7). Use two 1/4 x 3/4" bolts, wash-
ers & nuts on the inside face and secure
LOOSELY
in the back two holes, through the
handrail (only FINGER TIGHT - see Detail 8.7). It is important to leave a gap between
the inner & outer hinge parts so you are able to fit the gate through (see Step 9). See
Detail 8.8 - 8.10 for proper placement of all gate parts
