How to Install

Installation Instructions

  1. Position the Drop Bolt

    Place the drop bolt vertically on the inside face of the gate (usually the slave gate if using double gates).

    Ensure the bolt can drop straight down into the ground or receiving hole.
  2. Mark Fixing Points

    Hold the bolt in position and mark the fixing holes for the top and bottom guide brackets.
  3. Fix the Guide Brackets

    Secure the brackets to the gate using suitable screws or bolts.

    Ensure all brackets are aligned so the bolt can slide freely without obstruction.
  4. Check Ground Clearance

    Make sure the bolt aligns with a hole or receiver in the ground.

    Drill or install a ground socket if required.
  5. Final Alignment Check

    Slide the bolt up and down to confirm smooth operation.

    Adjust brackets if necessary.

FAQs

Are your gates fully assembled?

Our gates will come fully assembled. You will need a trusted gate fitter to install your gate for you along with your lock options.

How strong are your gates?

Our gates are just as strong as wooden gates, without the worry of rotting and material degrading.

Does the total gap include the posts?

Yes, it does.
The total gap is to include the 2 posts and the gate - so it is the gap you are trying to fill.

We recommend measuring your total gap top, middle and bottom and giving us the smallest
measurement.

We then take into account the 2 posts, gaps for clearance and the gate size.

Can I use existing posts?

Yes, you can use existing posts as long as they are in good condition. Please send an email
with a picture of the existing posts to info@tekplas.co.uk so we can double check.

Does the gate come with screws for fixing the posts?

No, the gate does not come with screws for fixing the posts as our products are fitted to so many different surface types.

What is included with the gate?

2 x posts, 2 x caps and 2 x door stop’s

1 x gate

Hinges (3 for singles and 6 for doubles) and 1 ring latch with screws for fixing

Can I hinge the gate from the left- or right-hand side?

Yes, you can. We do not drill any pilot holes for the hinges or latch so you can hinge the gate from the left- or right-hand side.

Can I fix the gate to open inwards or outwards?

Yes, you can. If fitting the gate to open inwards the hinges go on the back face of the gate, if fitting the gate to open outwards, the hinges go on the front face of the gate.
