Windsor Vinyl Gate
Before You Begin
- Before driving your finishing posts, 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 (BL19109) driven into the ground.
- Read your Windsor Fence Install Guide first so you understand the panel assembly before installing your gate.
- Dry-fit the whole gate frame before driving any permanent screws. It's far easier to troubleshoot fit and assembly order before anything is fastened.
- 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.

Finishing Post: BL19109
Gates do not come with their own posts
You will need two Windsor 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: Seat the Bottom Rail
Parts Required
A x2 B x1
Insert the bottom rail (B) fully into one bottom gate bracket (A), then slide the opposite bottom gate bracket (A) onto the other end. Both ends must be seated all the way to the back of their brackets.
Note: Light force may be required to seat the rail fully.
Step 2: Insert the Vertical Stiles
Parts Required
E x2
Insert both vertical stiles (E) into the bottom gate brackets (A). They will bottom out against the bottom rail.
Step 3: Mark the Rail Brackets
Parts Required
C x2
Mark where your (2) rail brackets (C) will sit on both vertical stiles (E), measuring from the top of the bottom rail to the bottom of each bracket. If you are pairing this gate with the Windsor Fence (BL19107), set the brackets so your middle rails line up for a uniform look.
Important Note Regarding Pool Code: 43½in from the top of the bottom rail to the bottom of the bracket meets typical pool code — always check your local regulations, as requirements vary.
Step 4: Fasten the Rail Brackets
Parts Required
J x4
Fasten both rail brackets (C) at your marked height with (4) white screws (J).
Step 5: Install the Middle Rail
Parts Required
D x1 J x4
Lower the middle rail (D) into both rail brackets (C) and fasten with (4) white screws (J).
Step 6: Insert the Pickets
Parts Required
F x8
Insert all (8) pickets (F) down through the middle rail and into the bottom rail. Don't be afraid to use muscle — you won't break the vinyl.
Step 7: Assemble the Top Rail
Parts Required
A x2 B x1
Insert the top rail (B) fully into one top gate bracket (A), then slide the opposite top gate bracket (A) onto the other end.
Step 8: Fit the Top Rail
Slide the assembled top rail and its gate brackets (A) down over the vertical stiles (E), pressing evenly on both sides until the brackets are fully seated.
Step 9: Fasten the Gate Frame
Parts Required
J x16
Fasten all (4) gate brackets (A) with (16) white screws (J). Apply pressure at the corners as you drive the screws to keep the frame square.
Step 10: Mount the Latch Finger and Hinges
Parts Required
I x1 G x2 K x14
Fasten the latch finger (I) to the top bracket with (6) black screws (K).
Fasten both hinges (G) to the front of the gate brackets with (8) black screws (K) in total.
Step 11: Bolt the Brace Together
Parts Required
L x1
Align the holes and assemble the gate brace (L) using the included hex bolt and washer.
Note: The hardware ships bundled with the gate brace.
Step 12: Fasten the Brace to the Gate
Parts Required
J x4
Fasten the gate brace (L) to your gate with (4) white screws (J).
Note: For best performance, install the brace with its top on the same side as the latch finger.
Step 13: Block Up the Gate
Rest the gate on temporary spacers or wood blocks to hold it at the right height while you install it. Keep the gate's rails level with your fence rails.
Step 14: Fasten Hinges to the Post
Parts Required
G x2 K x6
With the gate still resting on its blocks, fasten the hinges (G) to the hinge post with (6) black screws (K) in total.
Step 15: Secure Hinges from the Inside
Parts Required
K x12
Open the gate and set it on two wood blocks to keep it level. Fasten each hinge (G) with (6) black screws (K) — (4) into the post and (2) into the gate frame.
Note: If your internal pipe anchor sits close to the inside corner of the post, angle your screws to miss it. If the anchor can't be avoided, pre-drill the pipe anchor and install the gate with black 1¼in hex head screws (not included). Do not attempt to drive the pan head screws into the pipe anchor.
Step 16: Level the Gate
Level the gate to the fence post, then check that it swings and latches correctly. Mark where the latch catch needs to go.
Step 17: Install the Latch Catch
Parts Required
H x1 K x6
Align the latch catch (H) to your mark and fasten it with (6) black screws (K).
