INSTALLING PLATFORM GATE
8.1. VPLs taller than 72” include, as standard equipment, a Platform Gate (“gate”).
8.2. The gate is installed on the guard ramp side of the platform. Its tension hinges are adjustable and can mount left
or right.
8.3. Before starting installation, determine which side the gate hinges will be installed on, considering the required
gate swing direction based on the specific installation and the end user’s desired placement.
Platform Gate is for residential use only.
Platform Gate is not designed to bear weight. Never hang weight, of any kind, on gate. Damage and
possible injury could result.
Read and follow all labels, instructions, and warnings prior to installation and use.
Do not use product until installation is complete.

8.4. Position the gate hinges in the desired position against the platform guard end post. Further position the gate so
the top of the upper gate tube aligns with the top of the platform guard end post. Flush the outside edge of the
hinge with the outside edge of the platform guard end post (FIG. 8.1).
8.5. Once gate and hinges are positioned, you can attach the gate in one of two ways:
8.5.1. Use the holes in the hinge as a template and mark the locations with a pencil or marker. Predrill holes,
in one wall, of the platform guard end post with a 13/64” (#7) drill, then insert the four 1/4”-20 X 1”
Self-Drilling screws through the holes in the hinge and into one wall of the post, or
8.5.2. C-clamp the gate in place and drive the four 1/4”-20 X 1” Self-Drilling screws through the holes in the
hinge and into one wall of the post (FIG. 8.1).
8.6. Hinge tension is factory set. However, if you wish, you can adjust the tension as desired on both hinges using a
flat screwdriver and adjusting from the top. Depress and turn counterclockwise to increase tension, clockwise to
release tension. Gate should swing fully shut gently so as not to bounce off the bumper (installed in next steps)
more than once.
8.7. Install the rubber bumper similarly to the hinges by drilling a 13/64” (#7) pilot hole through one wall of the
opposite post, 8-3/4” from the top and centered vertically. Attach the rubber bumper to the post using a 1/4”-
20 X 1” long pan head Phillips self-drilling screw (FIG. 8.2).
