STEP 1
Use end posts for hinge and latch posts and set to the following opening sizes:
For standard Fence Wholesale gates
4’ gate- 48 ½” opening between posts
5’ gate- 60 ½” opening between posts
6’ gate- 72 ½” opening between posts
(See diagram 8 on bottom of page for details)
The opening size between posts should be the gate frame width +1 ½”.
Note: It is highly recommended to use our special aluminum
insert in hinge post. This must be installed before the post is set in concrete.
(for alternate method see step 6)
After digging holes and required opening size is achieved, backfill holes with
concrete as shown in diagram 1.

(Preferably near upper and lower corners) and attach hinges using tek screws
provided thru the face of hinge (4 holes) and into the gate frame. The arrows on
hinge body should be pointing up, with hinges firmly attached to the gate, pull
the free end of hinge open and attach two (2) screws thru the leg of hinge into
the gate frame. (See diagram 3)
Note: For the Larger tru-close hinge,
three (3) screws will be used thru face of hinge and three (3) screws thru the
leg.
STEP 4
With hinges attached to gate, place the gate
into opening and set free end of hinges onto the hinge post. Make sure the top
rail of gate lines up with the top rail of the fence and the gate should be
level. (If the hinge post is not plumb, the gate will not be level) Using tek
screws provided, attach hinges to post with four (4) screws thru face of hinge

STEP 6
Not required if using aluminum insert
from step 1. Note the aluminum insert also provides the screws additional
support.
If not using the aluminum insert It is
recommended that hinge post be filled with concrete and two (2) #4 rebar to
provide additional strength and support for the gate. Seal incoming rails of
fence with duct tape prior to filling post to prevent concrete from flowing into
