Position the strike plate on the gate or post at the height where the latch bolt will engage smoothly when the gate is closed. Use the included mounting screws to securely attach the strike plate to the surface. — Mount the Strike Plate 3. Align the latch mechanism with the strike plate and mark the screw holes. Securely attach the latch mechanism to the gate or post using the provided mounting screws. Test the automatic latching action by closing the gate. — Install the Latch Mechanism 4.
