INSTALLATION
1. Assemble the gate rim latch body. Unscrew the bolt knob and slide
the bolt through the bolt guide. Reattach the bolt knob.
2. Decide where to position the handle and gate rim latch body.
With the gate in the closed position, determine the position of the
handle on the outside of the fence and latch body on the inside of the
fence. Typically the latch body is afxed to a horizontal beam near the
top of the gate. Ideally, the thumb lever of the handle will lift the bolt
about midway between the bolt knob and the catch. Mark the posi-
tions of the latch bolt screw holes on the inside of the fence.
3. Cut out a slot for the thumb lever. Hold the latch body in position
and use a pencil to mark just below the bolt, about midway between
the bolt knob and the catch. Drill two 1/2" diameter holes above and
below the mark, and chisel out the area in between. Smooth with
sandpaper, if needed.
4. Afx the thumb lever. On the outside of the gate, insert the thumb
lever through the cut-out slot and rest it lightly on the bottom edge of
the hole. Afx the thumb lever to the gate with the screws provided.
5. Afx the latch body. Afx the latch body to the inside of the gate with
the screws provided, making sure that thumb lever will lift the bolt.
6. Afx the catch to the fence post. Afx the catch to the fence post
with the screws provided, making sure that the bolt will rest in the
catch.
