How is this mounted on a gate that has no top jam?

Bell will function fine if attached directly to the gate opposite the hinge.

You really can't because there is nothing in the ends to hold in place like an actual gate. Unless you have the perfect fit for one panel I don't recommend using it as a gate. It's very light also. Could be easily knocked down.

I had this same problem. It really was not a problem at all. All you have to do is make sure the gate is squared up. Make sure the top is directly over the bottom, use a level if you have one. Make small adjustments until you hear a click when the gate swings closed.

I haven't experienced that with my gate. Is the latch on top stuck in the pushed in position?

The top latches. The bottom has a little lever that will either lock the gate, or make it only open in one direction.

The gate post and latch post should be parallel for proper alignment. The curvature or shape of the top of the gate should not matter.

No problem with wind only friends pushing the gate to squeeze by. I put an electronic latch on and have had no more problems. As of this date I am still very satisfied with the setup.

The bottom of the gate must rest on a solid surface. The "hinges" will not support the weight of the gate.

Definitely. Mine is mounted on a wooden gate. It was easy to mount following the instructions. It also has mounting instructions for chain link and other metal gates.

It is a little hard to figure out but yes, that is the way mine works also. If you are standing in front of the gate, the post that you mount it on is on the right and my gate swings toward me as it opens and the long lever is to the inside. Be sure to nail your fence board to the post before you mount the latch or your gate will not close evenly.

No, the 2 mounting surfaces need to be in the same plane. Also the gate would need to be well balanced with good hinges to work.

It would need to be 100% flat surfaced. If there is a wall on one side you need a beam behind the wall. The gate doesnt hold up with regular dry wall anchors well.

Yes, the gate has screws on both ends that extend out and applies pressure to hold it in place. Sounds bad and not sturdy but it's actually perfect for pets or kids without damaging the house. It also makes it easy to install almost anywhere.

The front gate 'slides up' to remove. There are guide channels on the sides that guide and hold the gate in place. The gate 'clips' to the sides at the top. It is easy on - easy off and is very durable.

It only came with screws and NOT any pressure-mounting devices. It is a well constructed gate if you can find a way to securely attach it.

We used the mounting casters to prevent it from being easy to move, I imagine that if you skipped that step it would screw tight and loosen up like any other pressure mounted gate. We permanent mounted ours, it also depends upon your definition of 'a lot of time and effort', it will take a few minutes to unscrew and screw tight again.

Usually it is getting attached to the middle of the gate. But it is always depends of the design of your gate, so you may have to to attach some sort of extension panel to it to make it work.
