How to use

Position the bracket on the gate, shutter or door frame at a height and location that provides secure engagement when the element is opened. Secure the bracket using appropriate screws or bolts for the substrate and the weight of the door. To engage, move the gate or shutter until the bracket catches and holds it in the open position. To release, operate the manual release mechanism and move the gate or shutter to the desired closed position. Verify correct alignment and secure fixing after installation to ensure smooth engagement and reliable holding.

Usage recommendations

Choose fasteners appropriate to the mounting surface (wood, metal, masonry) and check periodic fastening torque and corrosion on exterior installations. For heavier gates or high-wind locations, assess whether multiple brackets or a heavier-duty hold-open device is required to ensure safe and reliable operation.
