Installation Tips
Mount hinges to the gate first, then attach to the hinge post with the gate propped at the correct height using shims. Adjust spring tension so the gate closes fully from a 90-degree open position. Install the latch at a height accessible to adults but out of reach of small children for pool gates. Leave 1/2-inch clearance between gate and latch post.
