Figure 3 - Mounting Brackets for Inward Opening Gates set in from the Back of the Post
This set of mounting brackets are shorter than the
MB-1-320 brackets and are for when the gate is set
in from the back of the post by 50mm or 68mm.
They also come with a base plate ready to be bolted
or screwed to a gate and its post. Suitable for use
with King Couper, Nice Wingo 4024 and Centsys
Vert-X Swing Gate Motors. The brackets are for
posts from 100mm square metal or timber to wider
concrete or square brick posts. The hinges with this
style of gate would normally be trunnion and
gudgeon or similar centred with the gate frame. The
brackets are all made from zinc plated steel.
The Gate Mounting Bracket (GMB) can be bolted to
aluminium or timber gates or self drilling screws can
be used for steel framed gates.
When the Post Mounting Bracket (PMB) is fitted
hard up against the hinge edge of the post the gate
will open up to 90o allowing 180mm space behind a
gate that opens against a fence or wall. If the hinge
is more than 27mm from the post then the PMB may
be placed closer to the hinge to maintain the 150mm
from the hinge pivot point to the motor mounitn
point. The two holes where the motor mounts onto
the PMB determine whether the gate is 50mm or
68mm from behind the back of the post. 68mm is the
maximum the gate can go from the back of the post,
other wise the gate won't open fully. If the gate is set
some where between 50mm or 68mm then a 10mm
hole can be drilled between the existing motor
mounting holes and the bracket set away from the
hinge edge of the post enough to maintain the
distances of 150mm x 150mm from the motor
mounting point to the hinge pivot point. If the gate is
less than 50mm from the back of the post then
MB-1-320 brackets can be used and cut back with
some new holes drilled or a bracket can be custom
made (see the custom mounting brackets option).
