Align the top hinge to the gate, ensuring the knuckle of the hinge is flush with the edge. Use a pencil to mark all four holes. Then, use a 5/32" drill bit to pre-drill the marked holes, being careful not to drill all the way through the gate. Finally, secure the hinge to the gate using a T25 bit and the provided hardware (screws). Repeat this entire process for the second (bottom) hinge on the gate.
