Installation
Choose a comfortable hand height, mark holes, and mount the handle on the gate stile or rail using fasteners suited to your material (metal, wood, or vinyl). Verify clearance so fingers don’t contact posts or hardware during operation. After mounting, open/close the gate several times to confirm the handle position feels natural and does not interfere with your latch or hinges.
Buying Guide
- Pairing with hardware — Add a compatible latch (LokkLatch® Regular) and self-closing hinges (TruClose® Regular) for a complete setup.
- Substrate-correct fasteners — Use metal screws/bolts for steel/aluminum framing, wood screws for lumber, and appropriate anchors for vinyl as required.
- Clearances — Ensure adequate knuckle clearance from posts and latch bodies, especially on narrow jambs.
- Aesthetics — Position to align with pickets/rails for a clean, consistent sightline.
- Maintenance — Periodically check fastener tightness and alignment with seasonal movement.
