 A temporary embedded jamb mounted to the block core. The stonemason has set his irregular stone to the jamb template, which is replaced when the CPW jambs arrive with the gate. The jamb thickness is the depth of the stone + 1/2" to allow free gate swing. |

| A solution to the repeated slamming of a wind tunnel, as well as local Pool Code requiring self-closing gates. *Note: Although the wood stops that come with the gates are designed to act as Stops and prevent the horizontal latch bar from serving this role, it is important to screw the wood stops to the post or jambs in lieu of finish nails that will loosen over time and our Stop will then default to the latch bar, which will eventiall break over repeated slamming. |

Non-Automated Non Automated Driveway Gates are 2-1/4" thickness and mount with the CPW 4" ball-bearing hinge to: Wood 6x6 posts, Steel posts, or CPW Jambs mounted to masonry columns. They normally utilize the same latch options and configurations as a pedestrian gate. They are installed with the same procedure as a double pedestrian gate. Gates that are considered pool gates must 1) Open out away from the property 2) Be self-closing, and 3) Have a lockable latch. Gate openings of 12' overall between posts or columns are two gate leaves at 6' each, which weight approximately 125 lbs ea, depending on the gate style. Hinges are surface-mounted to the posts/jambs and gate to insure air flow on all six sides of the gate.

Automated CPW does not provide automation for our Driveway Gates. Automated Driveway Gates are the common default. Option #1 gates can utilize the low-profile armature style motors that are rated for gates that do not exceed approximately 700 lbs, depending on the manufacturer. The more common armature style motors: |

Automated . 95% of Option #2 Driveway Gates are automated. . The hinge system is at the discretion of the installer or automation contractor. CPW will provide any plates or mounts upon request. Whatever hinge system s preferred, CPW will require the specified clearance, which in turn determines our net gate widths. A Few Explanatory Photos

A typical frame built to the CPW specifications. Drawings are posted for each project, including the dimensions for the steel frame to insure it aligns with the wood stiles and rails of the gates. The wood gate then simply surface-mounts to the steel frame. Site hinge systems weld off the exposed steel frame. |

The top pivot hinge of an In-Ground system . The top of the gate's hinge stiles must be embedded with a steel plate, bored to accept the pivot pin at the same dimension as the lower pin. Without the steel plate, the pivot pin is fitted to the wood and the vertical grain of the stile may show a tendancy to split under the stress of repeated movement. |

A Few Examples of T-Bars and Columns

| Tpically the T-Bar is welded to the column core 6x6 hollow steel post as the columns are being built. It extends beyond the stone longer than necessary and is cut to the correct length when welding the hinge system and exposed steel frame. |
Normally there are two T-Bars, accommodating two hinges. Below they have elected for three T-bars, and three hinges because of a gate span than extends to 18' overall (2 9' leaves) |
If your columns are existing, the chances are there is no 6x6 steel core post in the center, consisting only of poured concrete. Because it's hard to know, most contractors will make a judgement based on the age of the columns and eect to either set new steel posts to the inside of behind the columns and hinge the gate from that. It is also acceptable to bolt a length of flat stock onto the column and weld the hinge system to this introduced steel plate. (1/2"Thick x 2" width). ---The point is that older existing stone columns are a gamble--they may or may not be worthy of supporting the new gate over the long haul. |

The Sliding Driveway Gates are available only as two gates leaves surface-mounted to a single-span exposed steel frame. You much have the parallel clearance equaling the gate span. The gate rides on a 1" V-Track installed into the driveway surface and extending the span of the slide. If the grade is sloped, this V-Track is installed level by either leveling the grade or supported by vertical legs. A secondary track runs parallel to the V-Track at approximately 2' height. This is the alignment track. A pair of dual rollers are mounted to the steel frame, with the dual rollers riding on each side of the alignment track. As the gate slides, the rollers maintain the vertical alignment without coming into contact with the wood gate itself, which can blemish the wood finish over time. A Few Explanatory Photos

and installation contractors within the San Francisco Bay area who
have worked with CPW in the past: Although CPW Gates are made for a patronage all over the country, we no longer offer recommendations for automation contractors or installation contractors outside the San Francisco area. Call any of those below for a site visit. Explain to them which CPW Gate you are interested in. They will check in with CPW to discuss any specifications regarding the site and provide you a quote. This is in addition to the CPW Gate itself. If your project is more involved and requires, say, the construction of columns and various other aspects that are beyond the scope of an Automation Contractor, you might call Brian Van Rheems of Provident Construction or John Hammerschmid (see below) to oversee your entire project. He is among the most highly regarded contractors CPW has ever been involved with. |
