Installation

1.The gate must be installed in a structurally sound opening. Never install between two railings or two stair posts.

Ensure mounting surface (wall, doorframe, stair post, etc.) is strong, rigid and is smooth, clean and grease free.

If mounting onto brick, drywall or other surfaces, an optional gate installation kit, wooden board mounted to the surface or additional hardware may be necessary to provide a solid, smooth surface.

Measure opening to determine if extensions are needed. Correct width will be reached by adjusting all 4 corner spindles. Each spindle adjusts individually and may be extended to varying lengths (up to 13/4” each) to allow for molding, uneven walls, etc.

If using gate on a stairway, it must be placed on the lowest stair on bottom.

2.Spindle attachment is different when using extensions and when not using extensions.

If no extension/s are used, slide top spindles (b) and bottom spindles (s) into spindle housing end with out tab (c). Push assembly into gate corners.

3.If using extension/s, (see Extension Placement Guide) insert square extension tubes (j) into gate ends.

Connect the bar (k) to one upper extension housing (h) and one lower extension housing (i). Push assembly over extension tubes.

There should be no metal showing from extension tubes. It may be necessary to apply pressure to tubes to ensure they are fully inserted into gate ends. Slide top spindles (b) and bottom spindles (s) into extension tubes.

4.Note:

Spindle housings are not used if square extension tubes are necessary. If the housings have been inserted, remove with a screwdriver.

5.Center the gate in opening with bottom rail resting on floor. Gaps on each side should be equal.

Open the handle to the raised position by pressing the button (r) and lifting the handle (n) at the same time.

BUTTON MUST ALWAYS BE PRESSED IN WHEN

LIFTING HANDLE.

FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN HANDLE

MECHANISM BREAKING.
