Self closing hinges are included with all gates. Make sure hinges are set in
the proper direction to accommodate either left or right handed gates or
provide an inside or outside swinging gate. The post that will have the gate
hinges screwed to it will be the (thick walled) "heavy-duty gate post".
Make sure the fl ange side of the hinge is the side the gate and post will be
installed onto.
Release tension of hinges with a standard screwdriver prior to installing.
Take a fl athead screwdriver and push in the tension adjuster and turn 1/2 turn.
If the gate is not attached to fence sections on both sides, then it is advised to
install the hinge on the side of the gate with the fence section attached.
