2. Assemble the two 5/16”-18 x 3/4” long button head socket clamp screws through the slots in one leg of
the angle connector and into the tapped holes in the clamp plate.
The angle connector is symmetric, but do not tighten fully at this time.
3. Remove the post cap and slide the clamp plate into the one of the three channels in the “back” side of
the Top Landing Gate post closest to the rail or post where the connection will be made. The angle
connector should be on the outside of the post.
4. Slide the assembly down until the slots in the other leg of the angle connector are positioned where
they will be attached to the existing rail or post and use the slots as a guide to mark where the holes in
the existing rail or post will be drilled. Slide the assembly out of the way and drill 5/16” or 11/32” holes
through the existing rail or post in the marked locations.
5. Reposition the connector assembly to align the slots in the angle connector with the holes drilled in the
previous step then tighten the clamp screws securely. This should clamp the post wall between the
clamp plate and the angle connector holding the connector assembly in place.
6. Install the two 5/16”-18 x 2-1/2” long fully threaded button head socket cap screws through the slots in
the angle connector and the drilled holes and secure with lock nut and washer as shown in
FIG. 8.2 . If
desired, the cap screws can be replaced with lag screws (not included) when attaching to wood.
7. Repeat previous steps as needed with additional connectors.
