IMPORTANT: Gate includes a door stop
(part F in components) which prevents the
the gate from swinging open in one direction.
When installing the gate at the top of
stairs, be sure that the door stop is on the
stairway side of the gate so the door cannot
open over the stairs.
While the door stop comes fully assembled
on gate, it can be removed and installed on
either side of gate frame.
When gate is not used at top of stairs, door
stop may be removed to allow the gate door
to open in either direction.

• Refer to the following illustrations to determine the correct installation
configuration.
• Baseboard molding may change which configuration is appropriate.

If the gate does not close properly:
1. Gate is not properly aligned in the door
frame.
Solution: Make sure the gate is properly
aligned in the door frame. To adjust the gate’s
alignment, loosen all four tension bolts and
reposition gate so that it matches the “correct”
image. Re-tighten tension nuts.
2. Pressure of tension bolts needs to be
adjusted.
Solution: Loosen or tighten the upper tension
nuts. Ensure the upper latch handle always
remains below the release button. Ensure the
upper latch handle engages securely when the
gate swings closed and that it can be released
properly when the release button is pushed.
