STEP 1 Set up the gate in a doorway
opening where you’d like to use it. Make
sure the bottom ofthe gate is touching the
floor and that the gate is not at an angle,
i.e. tipping forward or backward. Do not
install at top of stairs.
NOTE:You’ll notice a gap betweenthe two
sides ofthe door latch atthis point (Figure
1-1). This is normal and the gapwill close once
youtighten the gate inthe doorway opening.
Do not remove the zip tie until installation
is complete (Figure 1-2).
ADDING A GATE EXTENSION
(OPTIONAL)
If using a gate extension, install the extension
at this point. Choosethe side of the gateto
be extended and with the top and bottom
threaded spindle rods removed, slide the
extension into the gate. Do not use more
than two extensions per side ofthe gate.
STEP 2 Locate the threaded spindle rods
and twist the adjustment wheels until they
are at the midpoint ofthe bolt (Figure 1-9).
Place the threaded spindle rods into all (4)
holes at each ofthe (4) corners on the gate
(Figure 1-10). Rotate the adjustment wheels
using either your hands or the provided
spanner to pressurize the gate against the
doorway opening until the gate is secure
and the gate door latch connects together.
HINT: Spin the spindle rods so they move
toward the gate (Figure 1-11 & 1-12).
STEP 1 First, you’ll need to mark up
where the wall cups should go. Follow
steps forPart 1 to set up the gate. Once
installed and pressurized, use a pencil to
mark the placement ofthe wall cups by
circling where the threaded spindle rods
touch the wall (Figure 2-1).
TIP: Alternate rotatingthe adjustment
wheels on all (4) sides to ensure equal
spacing on all (4) threaded spindle rods
(Figure 2-4 & 2-5).The ideal spacing on
each side is about 2.5 inches (Figure 2-6
& 2-7).
NOTE: The ideal placement forthe
gate is completelyflat on the floorwith
a maximum floor clearance of3/16 of
an inch.
STEP 2 Locate the wall cups. Place them
on the (4) wall markings drawn in Step 1.
STEP 3 Use the included screws and
a Phillips screwdriverto install the wall
cups. You can also use the double-sided
foam tape provided with the assembly
components instead.
STEP 5 Make sure to maintain a gap of
.060 –.080 of an inch (the thickness of a
nickel/penny) between the left and right
parts ofthe door latch (Figure 2-8).
STEP 6 Check that the gate is properly
installed by giving the frame a light tug
and ensuring all the corners are securewith
the threaded spindle rods andwall cups.
HINT: You should not be able to spin the
spindle rods toward the gate anyfurther.
STEP 4 Now follow directions for Part 1
again to set up the gate. This time ensure
the threaded spindle rods are securely
inserted into thewall cups.
