STEP 1: IDENTIFY GATE PLACEMENT
GATE IS SUITABLE FOR:
TOP OF STAIRS
If installing the gate at the top of stairs, it MUST be
placed on the top landing and only swing away from
the stairs.
BOTTOM OF STAIRS
If installing the gate at the bottom of stairs, we
recommend placing it on the floor. If the gate must
be placed on the lowest stair, position it toward the
front of the step.
HALLWAYS AND DOORWAYS
STEP 2: ASSEMBLING GATE PANELS
1. Place both hinge panel and catch panel side by side where you intend to install your
gate. This gate fits opening 33" to 56" (83.8cm to 142.2cm)
PLEASE NOTE: For correct orientation, make sure the text on the panels is
upright, and the tapered ends of each panel should slope inward.

STEP 3: INSTALL UPPER AND LOWER HINGE WALL BRACKET
1. Cut template “I” and “J” along the dotted line to get the correct space from the gate
to the floor.
2. Decide which side of your opening will be the hinge side
(i.e. the side that does NOT open). Next, place template
“J” against the wall using tape. The template should be
flush to the floor/step.
3. Mark the screw hole with a pencil to
create indentation on for both upper and
lower hinge wall bracket. Then, remove
template “J” from the wall.
4. Determine whether there is a stud behind the drywall where you will install the upper
and lower hinge wall bracket. Proceed to either 5a or 5b.
Upper Hinge
TOOLS NEEDED:
• Drill
• Phillips Screwdriver
• Adhesive Tape
• Hex Key
• Pencil
2. Size the gate to your opening by sliding the hinge panel and catch panel outward
towards the wall. For ease of gate installment later, please keep between a 1.5” and 2”
(38mm and 50mm) gap from the gate panel to the wall.
3. Secure the hinge panel and catch panel together
using the upper and lower clamps. If the bars are
not lined up, shorten the gate width by sliding
panels inwards away from walls to allow room for
the clamps.
Use the small screws to attach the top and
bottom halves of each clamp together.

5a. For Drywall Without Stud / Plasterboard:
Drill a 7/32"(5.5mm) hole into the drywall at each
pencil mark. Insert a drywall anchor into each hole.
Then, use a screwdriver or drill to insert the screws
through the upper and lower hinge wall bracket into
the drywall anchors.
5b. For Drywall with Stud:
Drill a 5/64"(2mm) pilot hole into the stud at each
pencil mark (no anchor needed). Then, use a
screwdriver or drill to insert the screws through the
upper and lower hinge wall bracket into the stud.

STEP 4: INSTALL LOWER CATCH WALL BRACKET
1. Place template “I” against
the wall with tape, flush to
the floor. Mark the screw
holes with a pencil to create
indentation, then remove
the template.
2. Identify which lower catch
wall bracket to use:
For Top and bottom of stairs:
Choose the 1 way lower
catch wall bracket. The
opening on the edge of the
bracket should always be
facing towards you (away
from the stairs), so the gate
only swings away from
the stairs.
For Hallway and Doorways:
Choose the 2 way lower
catch wall bracket so that
the gate swings in either
direction.

STEP 5: SETTING YOUR GATE
1. The gap between the gate to the wall should be less than 2.25" (57mm). If necessary,
adjust the upper and lower hinge adjustment rods using the wrench and hex key to its
appropriate lengths. Then tighten the nut against the tube by using the wrench.
Next, Install the gate into the opening by simultaneously inserting the gate’s upper
and lower hinge pins down into the hinge wall brackets until it clicks.
2. On the catch side of the gate, loosen the nut around the lower adjustment rod using
the wrench. Extend the adjustment rod by turning it clockwise until it is seated in the
lower catch bracket on the wall. Then, tighten the nut against the tube by using
the wrench.

3. After selecting the wall bracket, determine whether or not there is a stud behind the
drywall at the locations you plan to install the lower catch wall bracket.
Proceed to either 4a or 4b.
4a. For Drywall Without Stud / Plasterboard:
Drill a 7/32”(5.5mm) hole into the drywall at each
pencil mark. Insert a drywall anchor into each hole.
Use a screwdriver or drill to insert the screws through
the lower catch wall bracket into the drywall anchor.
4b. For Drywall with Stud:
Drill a 5/64”(2mm) pilot hole into the stud at each
pencil mark (no anchor needed).
Use a screwdriver or drill to insert the screws through
the lower catch wall bracket into the stud.

STEP 6: INSTALL UPPER CATCH WALL BRACKET
1. Place the upper catch bracket against the wall. If necessary, loosen the nut and extend
the adjustment rod on the upper catch side until it is seated in the bracket. Then, mark
the screw holes with a pencil to create an indentation.
2. Determine whether there is a stud behind the drywall where you will install the upper
catch wall bracket. Proceed to either 3a or 3b.
3a. For Drywall Without Stud / Plasterboard:
Drill a 7/32”(5.5mm) hole into the drywall at each
pencil center mark. Insert a drywall anchor into each
hole. Then, use a screwdriver or drill to insert the
screws through the upper catch wall bracket into the
drywall anchor.
3b. For Drywall with Stud:
Drill a 5/64”(2mm) pilot hole into the stud at each
pencil mark (no anchor needed). Then, use a
screwdriver or drill to insert the screws through the
upper catch wall bracket into the stud.
