WARNING
Important Information
FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY AND KEEP THEM
FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
This gate is designed for children from 6 months to 24 months. Since each child’s skills develop at different
ages, these parameters should be monitored against your child’s own development.
When installed in as instructed, between two clean, structurally sound surfaces, this gate conforms to
applicable ASTM standards.
No part of the gate requires lubrication. Clean using warm, soapy water or a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive
cleaners or bleach. Once installed the gate should be checked periodically to ensure a safe and secure fit
and to maintain proper working order.
Maintenance

1To connect two sections, place hinge
posts over the center of the next section’s
hinge receivers and press down until a click is
heard. Continue adding more sections the
same way. Optional 9” and 24” sections are
available for purchase for larger areas or to
construct a free standing enclosure.
NOTE: The walk through door section can be
positioned anywhere within the layout of the
gate. For the auto close door feature to work
properly the entire gate must be on a level
surface, otherwise the door may have to be
manually pushed shut.
2Once all sections have been assembled
lift all locking caps into the raised unlocked
position (a) and adjust the angle of each
section until desired configuration is achieved
(b). Push down on all locking caps (c). If
locking cap is difficult to lift, gently rotate
sections to relieve pressure and/or carefully
insert a coin or slotted screwdriver in notch
(d) between cap and housing, and push up.
3Insert wall mount bar into upper
post bar bracket. The wall plate is already
attached to the upper post bar bracket.
4Insert bar into sliding wall bracket
assembly with locking tabs lined up on right
side and arrows facing up.
