Installation Instructions
Your Stairway Gate is a hinge mounted gate, that when installed correctly,
should not swing out over a stairway. Before proceeding with your
installation, refer to (figure 1) to determine which way you want your gate
to swing.
Installation dimensions for the mounting sockets are shown for the hinge
side of the gate in (figure 2), and installation dimensions for the locking
side are shown in (figure 3). NOTE: Do not install gate mounting sockets
into sheetrock or plaster.

To attach the hinge side of the gate to the mounting sockets, refer to
(figure 4). Note that to align the hinge posts over the mounting sockets,
the gate must be at a 45-90 degree angle to the plane of the opening.
Once the hinge posts are aligned over the mounting sockets (figure 5), set
the gate into place. The gate can be removed from the opening by
reversing this procedure.
Check to see that the release handle is positioned properly (figure 6). If
not, simply remove the two screws holding it into place, and move it to the
top side of the gate, installing it with the two screws you previously
removed.
OPERATING THE GATE
To lock the gate, align the locking pegs over the mounting sockets (figure
7), and set the gate into place. Make sure that each time you use the gate,
both the top and bottom locking pegs are set into the mounting sockets.
Test your installation by pulling up on both the hinge and locking sides of
the gate to make sure you can’t dislodge either side.
