Mount Gate Post Bracket and Pre-Hang Opener Arm

What happens here

To prepare for the gate opener arm, attach the main mounting bracket to the gate post. The video shows the use of heavy-duty lag bolts for a strong attachment to a large king post, replacing the provided through-bolts which were too short for this particular post. Temporarily secure the bracket using a drill and a few screws to test the placement. Then, remove the safety pin from the gate opener arm, and pre-hang the arm onto the bracket. Reinsert the safety pin to hold it in place. This allows you to visually determine the optimal height and angle for the second bracket on the gate itself, ensuring at least one inch of clearance is maintained.

Goal: Secure the main mounting bracket and assess arm placement
