Assembling and Installing Your Gate
STEP 2
Insert the (4) threaded spindle
rods into the holes at each of the
four corners of the gate.
NOTE: You will notice a slight gap between the gate door latch and the frame. This is not a
defect. Your gate is a pressure mounted gate and this gap will disappear once you tighten
your gate in its opening.
STEP 1
Locate the (4) threaded spindle
rods. Rotate the adjustment wheels
along the threading,eliminating
the gap between the adjustment
wheel and the rubber foot.
RUBBER FOOT
ADJUSTMENT WHEEL
NOTE: The ends of the gate frame are not threaded.The threaded spindle rods should slide
into the end of the frame tubes without any resistance.

ENGLISH6
NOTE: It may be necessary to hold the threaded spindle rods or rubber feet while rotating the
adjustment wheels to ensure the entire unit does not rotate.
STEP 3
Position the gate so that it is level and centered within your doorway or opening.Rotate the
adjustment wheels on the threaded spindle rods in the opposite direction as in STEP 1,expanding
the gap between the rubber foot and the adjustment wheel. Expand each of the (4) threaded
spindle rods until they make contact with the doorway or opening.Do not fully tighten the
threaded spindle rods yet.

ENGLISH 7
STEP 4
When you are satisfied with the general placement of your gate, fully tighten the threaded
spindle rods attached to the lower corners of the gate by further rotating the adjustment wheels.
Continue by tightening the upper threaded spindle rods.As you tighten the threaded spindle
rods,you will notice the gap between the door frame and the latch begin to narrow.
In order for the gate to function properly, ensure that you extend each threaded spindle rod
equally to create a firm pressure connection between the wall and your gate.
NOTE: There should be equal spacing among each of the (4) threaded spindle rods. Make the
appropriate adjustment to ensure you have installed your gate safely.

surface of your doorway or opening around the perimeter of the (4) rubber feet.
