ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Locate the 4 Threaded Spindle Bolts. Before you begin,
turn the Adjustment Wheels clockwise until they are close
to the Plastic Pads. NOTE: The Adjustment Wheel should
not touch the Pad. If it does it could get stuck.
2. Insert the 4 Threaded Spindle Bolts into the holes of the
Plastic Inserts in the four ends of the gate frame as shown.
NOTE: The Plastic Inserts are not threaded. The Threaded
Spindle Bolts should slide into the inserts without any
resistance. Push the Threaded Spindle Bolts all the way in
until each adjustment wheel hits the gate frame.
3. Before attaching your Mounting Cups to the opening,
make sure you have correctly marked the placement of
the screw holes.
NOTE: It is important to install the gate with a spacing of
no more than 2.5” from the floor, and to make sure the gap
between the side walls and the gate is no more than 2.5”
on each side of the gate.
Position your gate in the opening so it is level and
centered as shown. Place the Mounting Cups over the
Pad of the Threaded Spindle Bolts, which should already
be fully inserted into the ends of the gate. Pull the
Threaded Spindle Bolts out until the pad and Mounting
Cup is against the wall. Take a pencil and make a light
mark on the wall around the perimeter of the Mounting
Cup. Repeat with the three remaining Spindle Bolds and
Mounting Cups. Once you have marked the correct spots
on your walls, move the gate aside.
For Installation Without Extensions
Positioning and Attaching the Mounting Cups to the Opening
Your gate is a pressure-mounted gate, therefore it is not necessary to use the Mounting Cups. owever, using the
Mounting Cups will affix your gate more firmly in the opening, so you may choose to use them in all applications. If you
choose not to use the Mounting Cups you may skip to Step 4 now.

Adjustment Wheel

If you intend to use the optional drywall anchors, drill
a pilot hole and insert the anchors into the center of
each marked circle. (Refer to illustration a & b for use
with anchors and illustration c for use without drywall
anchors.)
NOTE: The Adhesive Mounting Pads are included only
for positioning the mounting cups and must be used in
conjunction with screws.
Remove the liner from one side of the Adhesive
Mounting Pads, then place and stick a pad inside each
of the four pencil-marked circles. Remove the other liner
from each Mounting Pad and place the Mounting Cups on
each pad. Fasten the Mounting Cups to the wall using
the screws included in the hardware bag.
Installing the Gate in the Opening
4. Begin by positioning the gate level and centered in the
doorway opening. NOTE: It is important to install the gate
with a spacing of no more than 2.5” from the floor, and to
make sure the gap between the side walls and the gate is
no more than 2.5” on each side of the gate.
Pull the 4 Threaded Spindle Bolts out of the ends of the
frame tubes until the Pad touches the wall. **If you are
using the Mounting Cups, the pads should go into the
Mounting Cups that are fastened to your wall.**
5. While holding Pads against the wall, turn the Adjustment
Wheels counter clockwise until the adjustment wheels are
up against the ends of the frame as shown. DO NOT
TIG TEN. Go to step 6 for final adjustment. ELPFUL
INT: In might be necessary to hold the Threaded Spindle
Bolt while turning the Adjustment Wheel to ensure the
Threaded Spindle Bolt doesn’t turn.

NOTE: If necessary, the wrench is provided for final
tightening of all tension knobs.
6. To fasten your gate firmly in the opening or doorway, start
by turning the BOTTOM Adjustment Wheels first. Continue
to turn the bottom Adjustment Wheels counter clockwise
until the Adjustment Wheels are firmly against the frame.
IMPORTANT: There should be equal space on each side
of the gate. To easily determine this, look at the length of
threaded rod showing. If more threaded rod is showing on
one side you can adjust using the Adjustment Wheels.
Simply turn the side that has too much threaded rod
showing clockwise, and then turn the other side counter
clockwise until all sides are equal.
7. Repeat Step 6 with the TOP Adjustment Wheels. Again,
there should be equal space on each side of the gate. As
you tighten the top you will notice that the gap between the
door latch and the frame will begin to narrow. As the gap
continues to narrow, continue turning the upper
Adjustment Wheels until the door latch and the frame are
engaged. NOTE: If you have not done so already, you can
cut the zip tie that held the door and frame together.
Leave a 1/16” gap between the frame and the door latch
as shown. IMPORTANT: The frame must not touch the door
latch. If it does touch you have turned the Adjustment
Wheels too much. To correct this simply turn the upper
Adjustment Wheels clockwise a few turns until you have
a 1/16” gap. Your gate is now ready to use.
To Verify Installation
Push the gate frame to ensure that it is secure in the
opening and then push the door to ensure that the upper
and lower latches lock securely in the housing of the
frame.
NOTE: If gate is too difficult to unlatch, the Threaded
Spindle Bolts may be too tight.

Instructions for Adding 3” Gate Extension
1. Begin by determining which extension or combination
of extensions is required for your doorway opening.
Attach the Top Plastic Connector and Bottom Plastic
Connector to the top and bottom of the Extension Rod.
NOTE: The insertion point of the Top Connector is ¾”
wide, and the insertion point of the Bottom Connector is
5/8” wide.
2. Using a flat head screwdriver, remove the Top Plastic
Insert and the Bottom Plastic Insert from the gate
frame as shown.
3. Connect the Extension Rod to the gate frame as shown.
4. Install the Top Plastic Insert and Bottom Plastic Insert
that were removed in Step 2 into the ends of the
extension bar’s Top and Bottom Plastic Connector.
5. Once the required extensions are attached to the gate,
insert the 4 Threaded Spindle Bolts into the ends of the
extensions you just assembled and follow the
instructions from the pet gate starting from Step 1.
To Open the Gate
1. Pull the release button back with your thumb.
2. Lift up on the door panel.
3. Swing open in either direction.
To Close the Gate
1. Release the door within ten inches of the frame and it
will close and latch automatically. If it does not latch
automatically, the gate might not be positioned evenly
within the opening and perpendicular to the floor. If
needed, adjust accordingly. CAUTION: After closing the
gate, ALWAYS check to be certain that it is latched
correctly.

can be released properly when the release button is pushed.
2. The gate is out of alignment.
SOLUTION: Although unusual, some door frames may be out of alignment. In this case your may have adjust the
individual tension knobs to ensure that the gate is aligned properly. Remove and re-install the gate making sure it
is installed correctly.
