Installation Instructions:
Your new Pet Gate is a hinge mounted-gate only (it swings like a door on hinges). Before
proceeding with your installation, you must decide which way you want your Pet Gate to swing
(Figure 1 ). Warning: Never mount the gate so that it swings over a stairway.

Once decided, you are ready to begin with the installation of the wall hinge (this is the side that
does not swing out). If you have hard flooring, (tile, ceramic, etc.) the bottom "foot" of the wall
hinge should be placed on the flooring. (Figure 2) If your flooring is carpeted, the bottom of the
foot should be even with the top of your carpeting. (Figure 2)
Mark the top hole and pre-drill a 1 /8" pilot hole, and screw the top of the wall hinge
in place. Proceed down the hinge, and install a screw into each screwhole by
drilling a pilot hole first, and then installing one of the enclosed screws. (Figure 3)
The other side of the opening requires mounting the locking rail. Follow the same
steps as for mounting the wall hinge. Make sure that if you are installing over
carpet, that the bottom foot of the locking rail is even with the top of the carpet, the
same as the wall hinge. (Figure 4)
Determine which way you want your Pet Gate to swing, and attach the gate to the wall hinge by
aligning the horseshoe shaped hoops on one side of the gate, over the 6 vertical pins on the wall
hinge, and set the gate into place. (Figure 5)

If your Pet Gate does not swing in the desired direction, it can be
removed from the wall hinge (until the locking clip is installed, the gate
has no top or bottom) rotated 180 degrees, and remounted.
To remove the gate from the wall hinge, press in on the upper locking
boss (Figure 6) located on the wall hinge, and lift up on the gate itself,
until the gate rib clears the locking boss. Then press in on the lower
locking boss, and lift your gate off the wall hinge. You can now rotate the
gate, and remount it so it swings in the desired direction.
Note: Always leave the gate
mounted to the wall hinge when
small children are present, so that
there will be no exposed hinge
pins.
Once the gate swings in the
desired direction, you can insert
the locking clip into place. (Figure
7) By design, the locking clip is
very hard to remove, and once
installed, determines the top of
the gate from the bottom. (The
locking clip is always on the top).
Operating The Gate:
To operate the gate, simply slide it closed, until the locking end of the gate has reached the
locking rail. Align the gate end with the locking rail, (Figure 8) and lift up slightly on the gate
allowing the docking pegs to fit into the locking rail top and bottom openings. Press the gate end
into place. You may hear a slight click as the locking clip engages the locking rail. Figure 9)
Note: Make sure both top and bottom docking pegs are engaged. You should not be able to lift up
the gate locked end, if it is engaged correctly with the locking rail.

To unlock the gate, push down with your thumb on the locking clip, and pull up on the gate panel.
(Figure 10)
You can remove the gate, as described in the installation instructions, for cleaning. The gate can
be cleaned with a mild household detergent.

instructions. Never use with a child or pet able to climb over or dislodge / open the gate.
