As in step 4, you will align the gate handle and rod with the latching mechanism and guide holes.

Place the ratcheting socket wrench opening on one of the 13mm hexagonal bolts, then turn clockwise to tighten the bolt.

Do this step for each of the four (4) bolts until both the gate handle and rod are securely in place.

It is recommended to first replace the center bolt that connects the gate handle to the rod and gate. This frees up your hand from holding the parts in place and makes it easier to use the ratcheting socket wrench to tighten the bolts.
