Adjust width

Go to page 7 and follow “Pressure mounting/Adjusting width” to adjust your gate width and finish the installation.

In order for gate to swing freely when mounted at top of stairs, you must adjust the width of the gate and adjustment knobs so that the edges of the adjustment knobs touch the lower sides of the safety brackets. If needed, see diagram 9 for location of lower side.

To use

To open gate

Holding the release handle with one hand, first use your thumb to

push and slide the release button that is most comfortable for you, then lift up on the release handle. You can now swing the gate open for

walk-thru convenience.

To close gate

Swing gate shut. Lower release handle back in place. You may need to press gently against gate until you hear the handle click into place.

To verify that gate is locked, gently pull or push against it.

To temporarily remove gate for pressure mount use

The All-Clear Swing Gate can be easily removed from the brackets for use as a pressure mount gate in another room. To temporarily remove gate, simply open the gate and press the hinge pin release slider down to lower hinge pin on top of gate. Lift gate up and out of brackets. Then follow “Pressure mounting/Adjusting width” instructions.

NOTE: In pressure mount mode, gate no longer swings open.

IMPORTANT: The gate should be checked periodically for general condition with particular attention to the security of the attachments and operation of locking devices.
