Restricted Side Room Installation
This term is applied to the situation where the movement of the standard arms cannot be
accommodated within the side room available. In most situations this problem can be
overcome by cutting down the secondary arm. (The link joining the gate to the primary
arm).
This new length can be approximated by the following procedure.
1. Move the primary arm to a position suitable for the closed gate. Remembering that in
the closed position the primary and secondary arms must stop short of a straight-line
alignment (See Figure 7).
2. Mark a point on the gate suitable for the gate bracket.
Holding the gate bracket in position, measure the distance
between the hole centres on the gate bracket and primary
arm. Move the primary arm to its maximum open position.
Open the gate and measure the distance again. (See figure
8). If the length has changed then the gate bracket must be
repositioned and the same process repeated until the
dimensions remain the same for both positions. Be careful
that the secondary arm does not conflict with the drive
shaft of the primary arm.
3. Once the dimensions are consistent a new hole can be
drilled in the secondary arm and the arm trimmed to suit.
The gate bracket and secondary arm should now be fitted.
