A.  The simplest solution is to install the opener in a 

push-to-open configuration (requires push-to-open 
bracket, see accessory catalog). The minimum 
clearance is easier to achieve and clearance is no 
longer a problem, since the opener will be pushing 
the gate away from the column instead of pull-
ing it toward the column. It is recommended that 
you place a steel plate between the opener mount-
ing brackets and masonry surface for additional 
strength.

B.  If a push-to-open installation is impossible due to 

traffic hazards, terrain, etc., another option is to 
re-hang the gate. You may hang it on a post, either 
in the center of the column or at the back corner, or 
move the gate to the back corner of the columns.

C.  The most difficult solution is to cut a notch in the 

column to accommodate the opener and power 
cable. This job is NOT for the inexperienced!
