Important: Things to take into consideration when reading the below.

1) Do you need any vertical posts to attach the gate to?? In most cases, yes, but sometimes our gates are being fitted between existing door frames.

2) If ordering vertical posts, please remember to subtract the posts from your overall gap. Our vertical posts are 75mm square. See the example below.

3) Remember the clearance required to stop the gate fouling on the vertical posts. We allow for 10mm either side so 20mm overall.

Selecting Post Options = Each post is 75mm square.

Tekplas offers three options: No posts, one post, or two posts with your gate. This gives you flexibility when ordering the gate for every scenario. We have some written examples and some picture examples.

Example 1) No posts required. If you have a gap between your current vertical posts/Current Doorway of 1000mm, you need to order a gate at 980mm this includes the 20mm of clearance.

Example 2) 1 vertical post required. If you have a gap of 1000mm, you need to fill it with a gate and 1 x vertical post. You need to minus 75mm for the post and 20mm of clearance. So you need a gate width of 905mm.

Example 3) 2 Vertical posts are required. If you have a gap of 1000mm, you need to fill with a gate and 2 x vertical posts. You need to minus 150mm for the posts and 20mm of clearance. So you need a gate width of 830mm.

Spring Gate Maintenance Tips: To keep your gate looking fresh and working properly, we recommend
following these simple steps.

Clean Your Gate: Begin by hosing down your gate to remove any dirt or grit that may have built up
during the winter months or from heavy rain. Then, wash the gate using hot, soapy water and a sponge. This will help remove any stubborn residue.

Use a PVC Solvent Cleaner: After the gate has dried, apply a PVC solvent cleaner to maintain its appearance. Over the years, we’ve found that Everbuild PVC Solvent Cleaner works best. Simply spray it onto the gate and wipe it over with a clean cloth. This will not only help keep your gate looking
great, but also help protect the color of the gate, especially if it's exposed to sunlight.

Protect Against the Sun: If your gate is in full sun year-round, we recommend going a step further by
applying a coat of clear Danish oil using a cloth. Many Danish oils designed for outdoor use contain UV additives, which will provide extra protection for your gate. Our gates are made from high-quality PVC, which already includes UV protection. While it takes many years for PVC to fade, following these extra steps will help preserve its appearance.

Maintain Gate Hardware: Don’t forget to maintain your gate’s hardware, including the hinges, ring
latch, and locks. Simply apply some oil to a cloth and wipe it over the hardware, paying extra attention to the hinge joints. This will help protect against the weather and ensure everything continues to
work smoothly.

By following these easy steps, you’ll keep your gate looking great and functioning properly for years to come.
