GATE OPERATION
FOR OPENING: FOR CLOSING:
When approaching
gate, if latch is to your

fingers of hand.

Grasp gate in

When used outdoors we suggest spraying hinge and latch parts with a marine corrosion inhibitor
by CRC or equivalent. This can be obtained normally at marinas or auto parts stores. Remove
set screws when separating frames for cleaning. An external hardware set is available. Please
call for information.
To clean, rinse with lukewarm water, wash gently with mild soap or detergent and lukewarm water,
using a soft cloth or sponge. Rinse again. Dry with a soft cloth or sponge to prevent water spotting.
DO NOT SCRUB or use brushes or squeegees.
At CARDINAL GATES, INC., we design what we believe to be the very best, and most user
friendly gates available. Our gates are built to last many years with proper use and care. Here
are a few suggestions...
• Close gates gently - do not slam - to prevent damage to latch mechanism.
• When closing, be sure safety bracket on gate frame engages as depicted in instructions.
• For safety, always close gate when not in use. Children should not be allowed to swing on an
open gate as this can damage hinge mount.
• Keep allen wrench in a secure place. We suggest removing set screws when separating sections
for cleaning. Periodically check all screws, bolts, etc. for security and proper adjustment.

safety products. Check with your dealer or call CARDINAL GATES, INC. at 1-800-318-3380.
