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

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.
