Installation
NOTE: THIS GATE IS ONLY INTENDED FOR USE
AS A ROOM DIVIDER OR IN A DOORWAY
For further clarification, please see back of user
guide for corresponding drawings.
1. The gate must be installed in a structurally sound
opening. Never install between two railings. Ensure mounting surface (wall, doorframe, 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 1¾"
each) to allow for molding, uneven walls, etc.
This gate can be used in a closed doorway (Fig 1), but
CANNOT be used on a stairway.
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 (c). Push
assembly into gate corners.
What You Need Placement
No extensions
Gate + 1 extension -1 on one end
Gate + 2 extensions -1 on each end
Gate + 3 extensions -2 on one end; 1 on other end
Gate + 4 extensions -3 on one end; 1 on other end
Gate + 5 extensions -3 on one end; 2 on other end
Gate + 6 extensions -3 on each end
3. If using extension/s, (see Extension Placement
Guide) insert square extension tubes (j) into gate ends.
Connect the extension 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.
IMPORTANT: The gate must be level and straight up
and down, otherwise the gate´s self closing door will
not function properly.
6. Pull out the two bottom spindles (s) until they touch
mounting surface and rest on top of floor molding
(if applicable). Tighten handwheels TOWARD GATE
FRAME as tightly as possible. Each spindle adjusts
individually and may be extended to varying lengths to
allow for molding, uneven walls, etc.
