Determine Latch Specifications for Clearance:
a. The Standard Floating Bar Gravity Latch requires
a latch clearance of ½"-2½" and works with a post
size of 2"+ and upright size of 2"+ (Fig 1).
Determine Latch Location:
NOTE: Latch should be on the same side as the hinges.
a. With gate closed, align latch on post and mark
screw locations (Fig. 2).
b. Align striker bracket on gate. Striker bracket
should be ¼" above latch to allow for gate sag.
Mark screw locations (Fig. 3).
Mount Latch on Post:
a. Drill 1/8" pilot holes on the post for latch location
(Fig. 4).
b. Install latch to post with provided screws and
tighten.
Mount Striker Bracket on Gate:
a. Drill two 7/64" pilot holes on the gate for the striker
bracket location (Fig. 5).
b. Install striker bracket to gate with at head screws
and tighten.
Mount Striker on Gate:
a. Drill two 1/8" pilot holes in the rear holes (Fig. 6).
b. Slide striker bar through bracket opening and align
end hole with lower rear hole. Use pan head screw
to attach (Fig. 7). Install nal pan head screw in
other rear hole.
c. For ½"-1" gate clearance, use middle hole in striker
bar to attach (Fig. 8). Striker bar screw should not
be overtightened to allow bar to “oat" or move.
