1 Prepare Railing

•Measure the distance between the posts near the top and bottom of the posts. As long as both posts are plumb,

this should be the same distance.

•All rails should be cut 4-3/4” shorter than the opening for your gate.

•Cut the Top Rail and bottom Support Rail to length.

•Determine baluster layout on top Support Rail and Bottom Rail. To maximize the baluster spacing between the

end balusters and the aluminum Side Rails, center the rail measurement on a pre-drilled hole or halfway between

two pre-drilled holes. The space between the end balusters and the aluminum Side Rails should not exceed 4”or

should not be less than 1-1/2”. Cut top Support Rail and Bottom Rail to length.

2Assemble Railing Panel

•Position balusters along the top Support Rail, aligning them with the pre-drilled holes. Secureusing #8 x3” coated screws.

•Position Bottom Rail, using the lip to help align Balusters. Secure using #8 x2” coated screws.

•Tip for Bottom Rail: partiallydrive screws into all balusters before driving them in completely.

3 Attach Aluminum Side Rails

•the Side Rails on both sides of the assembled rail section. Place the bottom

Support Rail over the lower brackets as shown.

•Using the brackets as a guide, mark and pre-drill two holes in the bottom Support Rail at each end using a

11/64” drill bit. Attach the bottom Support Rail to the lower brackets with four ¼” x 1” screws.

•Place the Bottom Rail of the assembled rail section over the bottom support rail while lowering the top of the

section onto the upper brackets.

•Place the Top Rail over the top Support Rail. Using the brackets as a guide, mark and pre-drill a hole through

the top Support Rail and lower cross rib of the Top Rail with an 11/64” drill bit. Secure the Top Rail and

assembled rail section to the upper brackets with two ¼” x 2” screws.

•If access is restricted to this bracket because of the last baluster, use a ratchet to drive the screws.

4Attach Hinges to Aluminum Side Rails

gate opening, determine the desired hinge location. Hinges can be placed either in

the open position when the gate is closed or in the closed position when the gate is closed (typical for a door).

•Drill 7/64” pilot holes and use 3/16” x 1” self-drilling screws to attach hinges to the aluminum Side Rails.

5Attach Gate to Post

•

After positioning the gate to the desired height, pre-drill the Post Cover using a 7/64” drill bit. Attach the gate to the

post using the 3/16” x 2” ﬂat head screws, installing the screws closer to the center of the post ﬁrst.

•

Install Tip: Add temporary support blocking under the gate to help hold the gate at correct height.

6Attach Latch and Latch Stop

•Position the gate latch on the Post Cover. Pre-drill the Post Cover with a 7/64” drill bit. Install the Latch with the Latch lever

up, using the provided screws. Position the Latch Stop on the aluminum Side Rail. Drill a pilothole in the Side Rail with a

7/64” drill bit. Attach the Latch Stop using the 3/16” x¾” selfdrilling screws.
