A single gate latching inside a column or wall: 

1)  For this type of installation, you need a “wall mount stringer”. This is a small piece of 1” x 1½“ 

rail that will attach to the column and hold the keeper in position. 

2)  Slide the mounting bracket off the keeper. 

3)  Place the mounting bracket on the corner of the wall mount stringer. Position the leg of the 

bracket with 3 screw holes in it on the 1” side of the stringer and the bracket leg with multiple 
holes on the 1½“ stringer side. Use the mounting bracket as a template and drill five 1/8” pilot 
holes through the recessed screw holes on the bracket. Fasten the bracket to the stringer with 
five ½” screws. 

4)  Slide the bracket/stringer back onto the keeper so that the open side of the stringer is against 

the column. Attach the stringer to the column using appropriate fasteners (not provided). 

5)  Push down on the latch handle to release the keeper. 

6)  Line up one of the three screw holes at the bottom of the keeper with one of the holes in the 

mounting bracket. Use the ¼” screw to secure the keeper to the bracket. 

7)  Close the gate and test the operation of the latch. If the keeper needs to be adjusted up or 

down, remove the ¼” screw, reposition the keeper, and put the screw back in the new location. 

 

A double gate with a gap less than or equal to 1¼” between the gates: 

This installation is the same as a single gate attaching to a post. The only difference is that 
instead of attaching the bracket to a post, you will attach it to the side of the other gate. If you 
can narrow the gap between the gates, this will be a better installation that the method below. 

 

A double gate with a gap greater than 1¼” between the gates: 

1)  Make sure the mounting bracket attached to the keeper is positioned so that the 3 screw holes 

on the side are closest to the gate 

without the latch on it

. This is known as the “stationary 

gate”. If the bracket is facing the wrong way, slide it off the keeper, reverse it and slide it back 
onto the keeper. 

2)  Close the gate with the latch on it and position the mounting bracket so that it is against the 

side of the stationary gate. Mark the top hole position of the bracket on the side of the 
stationary gate. 

3)  Open the gate slightly and push down on the latch handle to release the keeper. Slide the 

keeper off the mounting bracket. 

4)  Using the top hole position that you just marked and the mounting bracket as a template, drill 

three 1/8” pilot holes through the recessed screw holes on the side of the bracket, and fasten 
the bracket with ½” screws to the side of the stationary gate. If properly installed, the bracket 
will extend into the opening between the two gates. 

5)  Slide the keeper over the mounting bracket and line up one of the three screw holes at the 

bottom of the keeper with one of the holes in the mounting bracket. Use the ¼” screw to 
secure the keeper to the bracket. 

6)  Close the gate and test the operation of the latch. If the keeper needs to be adjusted up or 

down, remove the ¼” screw, reposition the keeper, and put the screw back in the new location.
