Determine Gate Opening:
1
Gate opening is determined by width of gate plus
clearance for hinge plus clearance for latch/drop rod
on a fence or railing system (Figs. 1a & 1b) (see latch
specifications for clearance details).
a.) i.) The Heavy-Duty Butterfly Hinge supports
gates up to 100 lbs and 96" wide.
ii.) The Standard Butterfly Hinge supports gates
up to 75 lbs and 60" wide.
iii.) The Compact Butterfly Hinge supports gates
up to 35 lbs and up to 60" wide and 48" high.
b. The hinge allows for a 1/2" gate gap from gate post
to gate upright.

For best results, work on flat, stable surface when
mounting hinges to gate.
a.) i.) For gate installation on a fence: place hinges
at desired position on gate with a minimum
spacing of 32" between each hinge (Fig. 2a).
ii.) For gate installation on a railing system:
center hinges on the upright to align with
the top and bottom rails of the gate (Fig. 2b).
b.) Mark pilot holes through screw holes then pre-drill
using ⁄ " bit (Fig. 3).

NOTE:
Both gate posts must be plumb prior to gate
installation.
a.) Position gate at desired height on post. Horizontal
rails on gate should be even with horizontal rails on
fence/rail.
b.) Measure space between ground and bottom of gate
and cut two wood spacer blocks to this height.
c.) Set gate on spacer blocks and hold it level/plumb
to the gate post (Fig. 4).
d.) Mark pilot holes on the post, through the screw
holes in the hinges.
e.) Remove gate and pre-drill
f.) Re-position gate on post and secure hinges with
1" screws (Fig. 5).
