1 Hinge sid; template (a)
Templates are precise. Due to size
they are not intemet reproducible.
Please contact customer service
for replacement templates.
‘1 Locking side template (i)

Important. Gate must be installed in a
structurally sound opening. Hinge side of
gate must be mounted to a rigid surface.
Ensure mounting surface (wall, door frame,
stairpost etc.) is strong, rigid and has an even
surface.
If using gate on a stairway, it must be placed
either on top stair or on lowest stair at the
bottom.
Mounting Hinge Side
Screws provided are for mounting directly
into wood. If mounting into brick, drywall
or other surfaces, use appropriate hard-
ware. If installing into hardwood
(i.e. oak), drilling a pilot hole may be
necessary.
Hold template (a) against mounting surface,
making sure end marked
“1” is even with
floor.
Mark 4 screw hole positions.
Remove template.
Using 2 wood screws (q) and only lower
screw holes, mount hinge bottoms (b) with
posts pointing up. Top screw holes will be
used later.

Screw hinge spindles (c) into top and bottom
rails of gate section (h) until they are exten-
ded equally. These will be adjusted to the
correct length at a later stage so do not
tighten.
Repeat process on gate section (i) using latch
spindles (m).
Mounting Locking Side
Screws provided are for mounting directly
into wood. If mounting into brick, drywall
or other surfaces, use appropriate hard-
ware. If installing into hardwood (i.e. oak),
drilling a pilot hole may be necessary.
Hold template (j) against mounting surface in
line with opposite hinges, making sure end
marked “1” is even with floor.
Mark 4 screw hole positions.
Remove template.
Determine which direction the gate should
open. For stairways, gate should never
open out over stairs.
Using 2 screws (q), screw bottom locking
bracket (p) into lower set of screw holes with
opening side facing direction gate will open.
Fit locking latch (k) into locking latch bracket
(l).

As an added safety measure, a stop pin has
been provided. Insert stop pin (s) from behind
locking latch bracket into hole oppo-site ope-
ning direction. Using 2 screws, screw into
upper set of screw holes.
Correct width will be reached by adjusting
gate sections and all four corner spindles.
Each spindle adjusts individually and may be
extended to varying lengths to allow for mol-
ding, uneven walls, etc. Spindles may be
extended a minimum of 1” but not more than
3” on each side.
Adjust gate sections, until gate is approximat-
ely right width and adjustment holes are alig-
ned on top and bottom. Sections should fit
without any distance between bars.
Gate sections must not be extended any
further than 4 adjustment holes from spind-
le ends of gate and holes must overlap at
two places on both top and bottom railing.
Place one set of expansion screws and screw
sockets (f & g) in top and bottom set of over-
lapping adjustment holes nearest hinge side
of gate and second set of expansion screws
and screw sockets in overlapping holes nea-
rest locking side of gate. Tighten with a
screwdriver.

Center gate in opening. Gaps on each side
should be equal.
Min: 1”
Max: 3”
Place hinge spindles (c) over hinge bottom
posts (b), dropping them into place. Adjust
latch spindles (m) out until they fit securely
into two locking brackets. Latch spindle at
top must be adjusted so it clicks under
locking latch when in closed position.
Space between end of gate and mounting
surface should be no less than 1” and not
more 3” on each side.
Check that gate can be easily opened and
closed without catching.
Place a spring (d) and hinge cap (e) on each
hinge post. This may require some manipula-
tion to ensure hinge posts fit and holes line
up. Insert remaining 2 screws and tighten.
With wrench (n) tighten lock nuts on all
spindles towards gate.
WARNING. Spring must be placed OVER
hinge spindle and hinge cap must be
installed as directed.

To open gate, press down on locking latch
with thumb, lift gate and slide out of upper
and lower locking brackets.

position. If gate is open and excessive
pressure is applied, hinge posts are desig-
ned to break to prevent structural dama-
ge.
To lock gate, latch spindle at top must click
under locking latch when in closed position.
Bottom latch spindle must rest in bottom
bracket.
*No part of this gate requires lubrication.
l Clean by sponging with warm water and
mild detergent.
l Do not use abrasive cleaners or bleach.

tor. Some rusting may still occur.
