Installing Slide Gates
This video explains how to install a slide gate using the standard COMPACKED process. It starts with cutting the gate track to size and positioning it on the flooring. After testing the gate’s sliding motion, the gate catch assembly is installed on both ends—one as a regular catch and the other as a guide. Once secured, the gate’s level is checked. The track is then fixed to the floor, and a hole is drilled for the drop bolt. The process concludes with installing a bumper stop and a protective steel cover to safeguard the flooring edge during use.

Video Transcript
In this chapter, we’re installing the slide gate using the standard compact process. The first step is to cut the gate track to length.
Next, we need to position the gate track on the flooring.
Just test the gate slide smoothly on the track, then we can go ahead and install the gate catch assembly.
The catch hardware will be the same on both ends of the gate, one fitting used as as a regular gate catch and one as a guide.
Once these have been secured, close the gate and check that it’s level at both ends.
Finally, we just need to secure the track to the floor and drill a hole for the drop bolt to slot into.
The bumper stop then needs to be installed at the end of the track and the steel covering screwed to the floor in the gate opening to prevent damage to the flooring edge when in use.
