Determine the setback needed
There are 5 factors to keep in mind when finding the setback mounting:
1)
The (A) measurement is perpendicular from the gate in the CLOSED position.
2)
If Pull to open setback is not achievable , typically on columns. Re-positioning of the hinges or Push-To-Open operation may be required to achieve clearance.
3)
The brackets do not and must not move after installation.
4)
The "L" shape brackets can be mounted anywhere on the post or column. The only location of importance is the boomerang bracket
that the gate opener attaches to matches the setback on this page.
5)
Use the setback for the degree you are trying to open. Do not use the 110 degree setback to only open 90.
