NOTE: If necessary, the wrench is provided for final
tightening.
6.
To fasten your gate firmly in the opening or doorway,
start by turning the BOTTOM metal nuts first. Continue
to turn the nuts counter clockwise until they are firmly
against the frame. IMPORTANT: There should be
equal space on each side of the gate. To easily
determine this, look at the length of threaded rod
showing. If more threaded rod is showing on one side
you can adjust using the metal nuts. Simply turn the
side that has too much threaded rod showing
clockwise, and then turn the other side counter
clockwise until all sides are equal.
7.
Repeat Step 6 with the TOP metal nuts. Again, there
should be equal space on each side of the gate. As
you tighten the top you will notice that the gap
between the door latch and the frame will begin to
narrow. As the gap continues to narrow, continue
turning the upper metal nuts until the door latch and
the frame are engaged. NOTE: If you have not done
so already, you can cut the zip tie that held the door
and frame together.
Leave a 1/16" gap between the frame and the door
latch as shown. IMPORTANT: The frame must not
touch the door latch. If it does touch you have turned
the nuts too much. To correct this simply turn the
upper nuts clockwise a few turns until you have a
1/16" gap. Your gate is now ready to use.
To Verify Installation
Push the gate frame to ensure that it is secure in the
opening and then push the door to ensure that the
upper and lower latches lock securely in the housing
of the frame.
NOTE: If gate is too difficult to unlatch, the threaded
spindle bolts may be too tight.
