FIRST STEP: DETERMINE YOUR GATE SIZE

Determine the "Opening" size for your gate. Your gate width should be 1" less for proper clearance with hinges and a latch.

Refer to Step 4 on the instructions and the Table that shows a list of various opening sizes and the corresponding finished gates sizes.

Then cut your horizontal rails to "Size" width shown in the Table. Cut your vertical rails ½"longer than the actual length of the balusters in your kit.

The Snap'n Lock Connectors take up just under ½" so you need the side rails to be taller.

NEXT: ATTACH CORNER BRACKETS

Get set up on a nice flat workbench and layout your top and side rails as shown here. The horizontal rails should overlap the vertical rails.

Fit the front brackets snug around the 2x4 corner rails and drive in the screws using a socket driver.

Flip the gate assembly over and now fit the rear corner brackets sung against the inside corner of the rails and drive in the screws.

MARK BALUSTER INTERVALS

This is the most important part. Measure and mark center on the horizontal rails.

Then refer to the Table in Step 4 and measure out and mark the intervals for the balusters based on the "Size" of the gate you are building.

You have seven balusters. So one will sit in the center and three will sit to the left and right side of the center baluster.

The interval table makes it easy and will balance everything out nicely.

THE LAST STEP

Now snap or click - however you like to say it - all the baluster in place and lock down the collars to secure everything in place.

To make your Snap n Lock Gate virtually maintenance free, measure and cut the Rail Shield™ cover strip to the correct length.

Set your screw gun to a medium to low torque and drive a screw at each end of the gate, about 3/4" from the end of the gate.

There is no need to drive the screw down so hard as to deform the Rail Shield™. Just drive it far enough that is sits flush with the top surface.
