How To Install A Top Saddle & Backing Plate
Installing this top hinge set is relatively easy. Just follow these steps:
- Measure out where you need the top saddle to be to hinge the top of your gate.
- Fit the two cup head bolts into the backing plate. This will make future steps a lot easier.
- Position the backing plate to the wall or post. Weld-on or screw-on the plate.
- Grab your gate and push it into the saddle attachment on the backing plate.
- Put the top saddle over the top of the gate, lining it up with the bolts.
- Push the top saddle on and hand tighten the nuts. Once the gate is in the desired position, tighten down the nuts with a spanner.
Congratulations! You now have a strong and smooth swing gate.
