Gate Installation
1.
2.If using gate on a stairway, it must be placed either on top stair or on lowest stair at the bottom. (Figs. 1 & 2)
3.When assembling the gate, it is important that the sections fit without any distance between rails or bars. (Fig 3).
4.FINDING APPROPRIATE WIDTH OF GATE
With the two sections aligned against each other, place gate against one side of opening where it is to be installed. The distance between the opposite side of gate and wall/doorframe must be between 2” – 4 3/4”. (Fig.3)
5.Once proper gate width is achieved, place assembly parts (d1) and (e1) on top gate rail, and place assembly parts (d2) and (e2) on bottom rail. Insert screws (f) and screw sockets (g) into all four assembly fittings according to (Fig 4).
6.Place handle and hinge parts (h), (i), (j) and (k) onto the gate.
Insert the screws (l) and the screw sockets (m) into all four parts according to picture. Do not fully tighten yet. (Fig. 5)
7. HINGE SIDE MOUNTING
Screws provided are for mounting directly into wood. If mounting into brick, drywall or other surfaces, use appropriate hardware. If installing into hardwood (i.e. oak), drilling a pilot hole may be necessary.
Cut out templates along all dotted lines, separating template (a) from (b).
Hold template (a) vertically and completely out- streched against mounting surface with the end marked " " even with the floor. Mark screw hole positions. Remove the template. (Fig. 6)
8.Using 2 wood screws (o) mount upper hinge bracket (n) with the hole and the post pointing up, in top 2 screw hole positions. Using 2 wood screws (o) mount lower hinge bracket (p) with angled side facing down, in bottom 2 screw hole positions. (Fig. 7)
9. LOCKING SIDE MOUNTING
Screws provided are for mounting directly into wood. If mounting into brick, drywall or other surfaces, use appropriate hardware. If installing into hardwood (i.e. oak), drilling a pilot hole may be necessary.
Hold template (b) vertically and completely out- streched against mounting surface with the end marked "
" even with the floor. Mark screw hole positions. Remove the template. (Fig. 8)
10.Determine which direction the gate should open. For the top of stairways, gate should never open out over the stairs. Insert stop pin
(t) into holes of lower locking bracket (s). Insert stop clip (y) into upper latch (r). (Fig. 9) The longer portion of the stop pin and the outer edge of the stop clip should both be on the same side. Important – The gate cannot open to the stop pin/stop clip side. Using 2 wood screws (o) mount lower locking bracket (s) with hole facing up, in bottom 2 screw hole positions. Using 2 wood screws (o) install upper locking bracket (w). Place part (r) onto upper locking bracket (w). (Fig. 10).
11.Place gate onto hinge parts. Next, place spring (u) and hinge cap (v) onto upper hinge bracket post. (Fig 11)
12.IMPORTANT: ENSURE HINGE CAP CAN- NOT BE PUSHED UP AND IS LOCKED IN PLACE (Fig. 12)
Center gate in the opening. Loosen screws on parts (h), (i), (j), and (k) and adjust so they rest securely into hinge and locking side brackets.
The distance between gate and wall/doorframe must be between 1” – 2 3/8”. (Fig 13)
If gate is installed on an angle, part (r) will need to be rotated so that the gate handle rests securely inside upper locking bracket. (Fig.14) Once the gate handle rests securely inside locking bracket, slide locking cap (q) onto upper locking bracket (w).
IMPORTANT: ENSURE LOCKING CAP CANNOT BE PUSHED UP AND IS LOCKED IN PLACE.
Be certain to tighten all gate screws (h), (i), (j) and (k).
