Troubleshooting:
If the gate does not remain closed, the locking handle is too close to the corner of the locking housing.
This can be corrected by loosening the upper tension knobs by turning them outward, creating the
proper distance, as described in step 4 /Figure 4D.
If the gate does not remain in its opening, it was not installed properly. Remove and reinstall the gate,
