FINISHED!
Note: This gate includes a door stopper which prevents the gate door from swinging open
in one direction when used at the top of the stairs.
!
When mounting this
product at the top of the stairs,
locate the door stopper that is
on the opposite side of the stairs.
Swing door stopper 180°
to overlap the gate frame, so that
the door cannot open
over the stairs.
Tighten top tension nuts
so the top latch pins
engage the holes
in the door frame.
!
Note: When door stopper is not
needed (between rooms) rotate both
door stoppers 180° so they are no
longer overlapping the gate frame. This
will allow the gate to open in either
direction.

If the gate does not close properly:
1. Gate is not properly aligned in the
door frame.
Solution: To adjust the gate’s alignment,
loosen all four tension bolts and reposition gate
so that it matches the “correct” image.
Re-tighten tension bolts.
2. Pressure of tension bolts needs to
be adjusted.
Solution: Loosen or tighten the upper tension
bolts. Ensure the upper latch engages securely
when the gate swings closed, and that it can be
released properly when the sliding lock tab is
pushed back.
troubleshooting:
maintenance:
• Regularly check tension bolts to make sure the gate is securely in place.
• Do not use the gate if any components are damaged or missing.
• Surface clean with a damp cloth or sponge using mild detergent and warm water.
