Where did you ground your mount to? I have the CoolTech gatemount, and the grounding wire they provided is rather short. So, I was just wondering where you grounded yours??

I can't believe you guys are willing to pay $100 for what amounts to a scrap piece of metal with 3 holes and a bend in it.

Just make a mount yourself, it's pretty much free so you can put that $100 towards something that's worth it.

I took 12 gauge wiring, mounted one end to the bolt on the gate, then ran it through the rubber grommet, through the fabric that attaches between the gate and the tub and then ran it down to a bolt on the floor. Pretty easy, sorry my camera is broke so I cant really show you exactly how it was done.

I know it may be cheaper to do that but I'd rather spend a little more money and get everything I need with 1 order.
