Unpacking
1.Unpack your folded HearthGate™ on a stable surface, making sure handle is on top. Each corner is connected by plastic, interlocking hinges.
2.Adjusting the sections:
A spring is fitted in all cones which deliberately creates tension when adjusting.
At corner, lift up slightly on section with hinge teeth facing down (2.1) while gently pressing down on connected section (2.2). Rotate sections to desired position (2.3). Release to lock into place.
Note: Each hinge adjusts from 0˚ to 270˚ in 10˚ increments.
3.See illustration on page 18.
4.Position HearthGate to desired shape, taking into account recommended 20” minimum distance described in “Important Information” on page 3. It may be necessary to remove or add section/s to gate to fit your application.
If making no changes, see “Installation” steps
13to 23.
If removing sections, see “Assembly” steps 5 to
If adding sections, see “Assembly” steps 5 to 7.
Assembly
5. Removing or adding sections:
Note: Always begin separating gate from either end. At the juncture of every section is a removable, vertical bar.
6.To remove vertical bar, lift up on bar (5), while sliding it out of lower hinge groove (6a). Pull bar down and out of cone).
7.Lift off end section. If gate is now appropriate length, go to step 8.
If additional section/s are required, go to steps
11& 12.
8.Depending on number of sections removed, you will end up with one of two configurations at the end of gate (diagram 8 or 9).
Remove hinge cap (i) from bottom of original end section. A screwdriver may be needed to pry it off. Place cap over top hinge on what is now the end piece.
Place spare hinge cover (h) over bottom hinge. Go to step 10.
9.Remove hinge cap (i) from bottom of original end section. A screwdriver may be needed to pry it off. Place under bottom hinge. Remove plastic cone from under top hinge of original end section. Install cone (j) under top hinge of new end section.
10.Reinstall a removable, vertical bar. Insert bar by pressing it into upper hinge cone, while sliding bar into groove of lower hinge. Spring in cone will make bar lock in place.
Proceed to “Installation” steps 13 to 19.
11.Adding optional section/s:
Remove vertical bar from optional section (steps 5 & 6).
Position optional section with cone hinge at top. Align cone hinge underneath top hinge on end section. When center of both hinges are aligned, top and bottom, they will fall together. Insert removable bar (see step 10).
If adding more than one section, repeat process.
12. Reattaching end sections:
Align top cone corner of one section with the top hinge of the end section. When center of both hinges are aligned, top and bottom, they will fall together.
Proceed to “Installation” steps 13 to 19.
Note: The HearthGate cannot be completely folded when optional section/s have been added.
Relocating the walk through door section: The walk through door section can be repositioned in the configuration as long as it is interchanged with a section that has matching top and bottom hinges (refer to diagram 3).
13.Assemble lower bar brackets (b) and slides
(c) with screws and nuts as shown. Tighten screws just enough to allow parts to slide easily. Slide wall plates (d) onto back of upper and lower bar brackets (a and b) until click is heard and locked in place. (13)
14.Place upper bracket around top cone hinge. Slide lower bracket assembly onto removable bar and push bar up into upper bracket. (14). Repeat for opposite side of gate.
15.Move HearthGate to desired location. WARNING: A distance of a minimum of 20” from source of heat/fire to gate is recommended (see “Important Information”, page 3). If this is
