Cambridge Vinyl Gate
Before You Begin
- Call 811 before you dig to check for underground utilities.
- Read your fence's install guide first so you understand the fence assembly before installing your gate.
- Pre-assemble the gate frame as a dry run before driving any permanent screws — confirm every piece fits and the frame goes together in the correct order.
- Install your gate posts before your fence posts — fence panels are more forgiving for a custom fit than a gate.
Returns: Please let us help resolve any issues before initiating a return. If a return is still necessary, it must be initiated with the retailer where the product was purchased.

For faster service, have your item number (BL19111) and part name ready. A batch lot number (found on the end of the box) is also helpful if available — it helps us identify and resolve any production issues on our end.
Finishing Post: BL19112
Gates do not come with their own posts
You will need two Finishing Posts — one to finish the fence run, and one to support the gate.

Hinge Post Support
Your gate will perform best with complete fence panels on both sides. At minimum, the hinge post should be part of a connected fence run — tying it to a panel that continues to another post lets that post help carry the gate's swinging load, instead of the hinge post bearing it alone. If space restrictions make this impossible, contact us for alternative solutions.
Note on Hinges
Hinges only open one direction. Decide which way you want your gate to open before mounting your hinges.

Step 1: Assemble Gate Sides
Parts Required
A x2 B x2
Insert the Stile (B) all the way into one bottom Gate Bracket (A) until it hits the back corner — make sure it's seated against the back of the bracket wall. Press firmly, then repeat for the other side of the gate.
Important: Light force may be required to seat the stile fully.
Step 2: Install Bottom Rail
Parts Required
C x1
Insert the Rail (C) fully into the bottom Gate Bracket (A) until it meets the vertical stile.
Step 3: Fasten the Frame
Parts Required
D x8
Insert the opposing side and fasten with 8 screws (D) in both brackets. Apply pressure to keep the rails and stiles seated while fastening.
Step 4: Insert Boards
Parts Required
E x1 F x3
Insert the Trimmed Board (E) and one Board (F) into the side vertical stiles first, then add the remaining two middle Boards (F) — this order makes for the easiest install.
Note: Seat all boards fully into the bottom rail.
Step 5: Assemble Top Rail
Parts Required
A x2 C x1
Firmly press each Rail Bracket (A) onto the remaining Rail (C).
Note: Don't push the rail all the way to the back of the bracket.
Step 6: Install Top Rail
Parts Required
D x8
Install the pre-assembled top rail onto the gate frame and fasten with 8 screws (D).
Note: Press down on the top rail while screwing it in to keep your frame square.
Step 7: Assemble Brace
Parts Required
G x1
Align the holes and assemble the Gate Brace (G) using the included hex bolts and washers.
Note: The hardware ships bundled with the gate brace.
Step 8: Install the Brace
Parts Required
D x4
Fasten the brace to your gate with 4 screws (D).
Note: For best performance, install the brace with its top on the same side as the latch finger.
Step 9: Loosen Hinge
Parts Required
H x1 I x1
Optional, for a slower self-close. Insert the Tension Pin (I) into a hole on top of the Hinge (H) and rotate it to the right — this takes some force.
To loosen the tension: with the pin turned all the way right, remove the smaller pin, let the tension pin ease back to the left, then reinsert the smaller pin in a new hole. This loosens the hinge and makes installation easier.
Step 10: Adjust Hinge Spacing
Parts Required
H x1
Using two wrenches, loosen or tighten the nuts on the hinge to adjust the spacing between your gate and hinge post — this also helps with leveling later on.
Step 11: Fasten Latch Finger and Hinges
Parts Required
K x1 H x2
Fasten the Latch Finger (K) to the top bracket with 6 of the black screws included with it.
Fasten the Hinges (H) to the front of the gate brackets with 12 total of the black screws included with them.
Step 12: Fasten Hinges to Post
Parts Required
H x2
Place wooden blocks under your gate to keep it level with your fence rails, then fasten the hinges to the post with 6 total of the black screws included with the Hinges (H).
Step 13: Secure Hinges from the Inside
Open your gate, resting it on the two wooden blocks to keep it level, then fasten the hinges to the post with 12 total of the black screws included with the Hinges (H).
Step 14: Level the Gate
Level the gate to the fence post by adjusting the hinge nuts, then check that it swings and functions correctly. Mark where the latch catch needs to go.
Step 15: Install Latch Catch
Parts Required
J x1
Open your gate, then align and fasten the Latch Catch (J) with the 6 black screws included with it.
