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 1
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 spindle (b)
into spindle housing end without tab (c). Push
assembly into gate corners.
3. Note: Spindle housings are not used if
square extension tubes are necessary. If the
housings have been inserted, remove with a
screwdriver.
4.
If using extension/s, (see Extension
Placement Guide) insert square extension tubes
(j) into gate ends. Connect the bar (k) to upper
extension housing (h) and 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.
5.
Slide spindles (b) into extension tubes.
6.
Center the gate in opening with bottom rail
resting on floor. Gaps on each side should be
equal.
only
Open the handle to the raised position by
y
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

" each) to allow for
3/4
7.
Pull out the two bottom spindles (b) until they
touch mounting surface. Tighten nuts TOWARD
GATE FRAME as tightly as possible using
wrench (g) provided. Each spindle adjusts
individually and may be extended to varying
lengths to allow for molding, uneven walls, etc.
8.
Close walk through door so locator (l) is
aligned directly above bottom gate rail. Do not
lower handle. Pull out the top spindle (b) on the
hinge side (m) until it touches the mounting
surface. Tighten nut TOWARD GATE FRAME
until locator drops and rests on bottom gate rail.
9.
With handle in raised position, un-screw
handle spindle (b) until is it 1/8" from mounting
surface. Close the handle and check all
hardware.
If correctly installed, gate should be firmly in
place and handle will need to be raised to open
and close walk-through door. If gate is unstable,
raise handle and unscrew spindle a little further.
Recheck hardware until gate is secure. Once
secure, tighten nut TOWARD GATE FRAME.
If gate is not stable reread directions thoroughly.
Make certain gate is appropriate size for
opening and all steps have been followed
accurately.
10.
A pressure indicator (d) has been included
as an additional safeguard. Lift handle (n) and
locate groove on underside. Return handle to
closed position and place indicator hook under
groove. Push in button (r) while pulling pressure
indicator up. Black gauge within indicator will
start moving down. Recommended pressure is
between 3 and 5. If gauge is more than 5,
loosen nut on handle spindle (b). If less than 3,
tighten handle spindle nut.
If unable to obtain recommended pressure, it
is important to know that gate is not defective.
Gate requires a strong, rigid surface to maintain
pressure. It may be necessary to consult a hard-
ware store or baby proofer to find a
solution for safe installation.
