Westport Vinyl Privacy Gate

• Before driving pipe anchors, check for underground utilities. In the US, call 811 or visit www.call811.com. In Canada, visit www.clickbeforeyoudig.com to find your provincial one-call centre. This gate needs two finishing posts (BL19042) driven into the ground.
• Read your Westport Fence 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.
• Never hang a gate off a single unsupported post. See Hinge Post Support below.

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 (BL19106) 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.

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.

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.

Hinges only open one direction. Decide which way you want your gate to open before mounting your hinges.

Parts Required

A x2 C x1

Insert the rail (C) all the way into a 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 rail fully.

Parts Required

D x2

Insert the vertical stiles (D) fully into the bottom gate brackets (A) until they meet the rail.

Parts Required

B x8

Fasten using (4) screws (B) per bracket. Apply pressure to make sure your rails and vertical stiles are in place.

Parts Required

E x1 F x3

Follow the numbers on the diagram. Start with both boards marked 1: slide the trimmed board (E) down into the channel of one vertical stile (D), and one board (F) into the channel of the other. Then fill the middle with the remaining (2) boards (F), marked 2 and 3, locking each one into the board beside it.

Note: Push every board all the way down until it sits in the bottom rail.

Parts Required

A x2 C x1

Firmly press a gate bracket (A) onto each end of your remaining rail (C).

Note: Ensure the rail is pushed all the way to the back of the bracket.

Parts Required

B x8

Install your pre-assembled top rail onto the gate frame. Fasten using (8) screws (B).

Note: Apply downward force on your top rail while screwing into place, to ensure your frame is square.

Parts Required

G x2 J x2

For each hinge: insert your tension pin (J) into a hole on top of your hinge (G) and rotate it all the way right — this takes a lot of force. Hold it there, remove the smaller pin, ease the tension pin back left, and place the smaller pin in a new hole.

Using your two wrenches, loosen or tighten the nuts on the hinge to adjust the spacing between your gate and hinge post. This can also help you moderately level your gate later on.

Parts Required

I x1 G x2

Fasten the latch finger (I) to the top bracket with (6) screws.

Fasten the hinges (G) to the front of the gate brackets with (8) screws in total.

Place wooden blocks under your gate to ensure it is level with your fence rails. Fasten the hinges to the post with (6) screws in total, (3) per hinge.

Open your gate — making sure to set it on the two wooden blocks to keep it level. Fasten each hinge with (6) black screws — (4) into the post and (2) into the gate frame.

Level the gate to the fence post by adjusting the nuts on the hinges. Check the gate to make sure it functions correctly. Mark where you need to install your latch catch.

Parts Required

H x1

Fasten the latch catch (H) with (6) screws.
