Using Foundation Plates with Mini Carriages
Comunello does not make a foundation plate that fits the Mini carriages with 4 mounting bolt holes
because gates built on the Mini hardware system are not heavy enough to require it. But often, using the
foundation plates to level and plumb the carriage is the preferred method for installation. For these cases,
you can use the CG-05P foundation plates with either the steel CGS-250.8m or CGS-350.8M, or the aluminum
CGA-350.5M carriages.
The 4-bolt hole pattern on the Mini carriages matches up to the center and end holes on the CG-05P
foundation plate. So, the carriage is mounted on one side of the plate. For longer gates, you would orient
the foundation plates so the unused extension is between the two carriages. But for gates with a carriage
spacing too small for this to fit, you can orient the foundation plates so they extend outward towards the
end of the gate.

A more aesthetic option is to cut the base plate to match the length of the carriage. We recommend using a
galvanized coating spray on the cut edge prior to installing the cut plates.
