REMOVING EXTENSIONS
1. Take out the adjustment rods from the top and
bottom of the outer extension and set them aside
for now. Pull out the plastic plugs that housed the
rods you took out above and set these aside as well.
You may need to use a flathead screwdriver to
remove them.
2. Remove the outer extension from the gate by
pulling the top and bottom extension adapters out
of the corner pockets. Store the extension in a safe
place in case you move your gate to a wider opening
in the future.
3. Re-insert the plugs that you removed in step 1 into
the open pockets of the remaining extension. Be
sure to insert the plugs with the correct side up (the
hole should be closer to the top.)
If your opening is between 33.6 and 36 inches, you DO NOT need
to remove any extensions. Please skip to the next section:
Gate Placement. For openings between 30.7 and 33.6 inches
remove 1 extension and openings between 28 and 30.7 inches
remove both extensions before installation.

How to Install
PROPER WIDTH
Measure the width of the opening where the gate will be installed. Be sure to measure at
the narrowest point. For example, include any baseboards in your measurement.
Your gate ts openings from 28 to 36 inches wide using the included extensions. DO NOT
attempt to install this gate for any other sizes.

7
GATE PLACEMENT
This gate is approved for use at the bottom of stairs, as well as in doorways, hallways and
entryways. The gate must be installed between two structurally
sound surfaces.
Do not use this gate in any location without using all 4 wall cups, sticky pads, and screws
provided when installing the gate.
If you are installing the gate at the bottom of the stairs, we recommend placing it on the
floor below the rst step. If the gate must be placed on the lowest stair, position it toward
the front of the step.
Be sure that the gate is resting on the floor. The gate should NOT be raised above the
floor >5mm.
How to Install
4. Insert the adjustment rods from step 1 into the plastic plugs. To remove the remaining
extension, repeat steps 1-4. If you need to add extensions, simply reverse the
instructions above.

8
WALL CUPS
Do not use this gate in any location without using all 4 wall cups,
sticky pads, and screws provided when installing the gate.
1. Ensure that the wall cups are on the ends of the
adjustment rods. Hold the square wall cup on the
handle adjustment rod.
2. Temporarily place the gate where you want to
install it, flush with floor. Pull the adjustment rods
out until they reach the walls and trace the position
of each wall cup with a pencil.
3. Retract the adjustment rods and set the gate aside
for now.
4a. FOR DRYWALL WITHOUT STUD/PLASTERBOARD:
Hold the wall cups in position and mark the center
with a pencil. Then put the cup aside and drill a
7/32” hole into the drywall at the center mark.
Insert a drywall anchor.
4b. FOR DRYWALL WITH STUD: Hold the wall cups in
position and mark the center with a pencil. Then
put the cup aside and drill a 5/64” hole into the
drywall at the center mark.

How to Install
5. Peel the backs off the sticky pads attached to the wall cups. Then stick the wall cups
back onto the wall to fit your pencil marks.
6. Secure the wall cups against the wall with screws.
• FOR DRYWALL WITHOUT STUD/PLASTERBOARD: Use screwdriver or drill to insert
screw into center of wall cup. The screw will go through the attached sticky pad and
into the wall anchor previously inserted in step 4a.
• FOR DRYWALL WITH STUD: Use screwdriver or drill to insert screw into center of wall
cup. The screw will go through the attached sticky pad and into the hole previously
drilled in step 4b.

2. Use the wrench to tighten the nuts on the threaded adjustment rods until the
gate is secure. Tighten the locking nuts in the order depicted in the image above. Start
with the bottom, then move to the upper hinge side, and lastly the upper handle side.
Maintain a 1/8" gap between wall cup and handle adjustment rod when handle is in the
OPEN (UP) position.
MOUNTING THE GATE
1. Place the gate where you want to install it, then extend all four adjustment rods until
they reach the walls. For the adjustment rod on the handle, simply turn the wheel
at the end of the rod counterclockwise to adjust outward. Ensure that the ends of the
adjustments rods are seated inside the cups.
DO NOT overextend the adjustment rods. If the gate is more than
2.6 inches from the wall, you must add an extension.

How to Use
OPENING YOUR GATE
CLOSING YOUR GATE
CLEANING YOUR GATE
Squeeze the buttons on the side of the handle to li
the lever. This retracts the adjustment rod and eases
the tension on the gate. Pull the handle upward and
li door to swing the gate open in either direction.
Swing the gate back toward its closed position, then li the handle upward to seat the
bottom rung in the locked position. Push the handle lever downward until it clicks. The
adjustment rod will re-extend to the wall.
Always check the handle to make sure that the gate is securely locked and never leave
your child unattended.
Use mild soap and wipe with a damp cloth. Be careful not to wash or wipe the stickers on
the base of the gate. Removing or damaging the stickers will void the warranty.
