Installation
- Step 1
- Measure width of opening.
- Refer to figures 1A, 1B, 1C, 1D to determine the correct installation.
- Step 2
- To add an extension, begin by removing both the upper and lower plugs from the side of the gate frame. You may need to use a flathead screwdriver to remove the plugs. Figure 2A.
- Attach both the upper and lower adapters to the extension pole.
- Install the fully assembled extension by inserting the upper and lower extension adapters into the gate in the holes where you removed the plugs. Figure 2B.
- Reinsert both plugs, then insert the bolts with rubber pads into the holes on the outside of the extension. Figure 2C.
- Step 3
- Install wall cups.
- Place the gate in the opening so that the bottom of the gate frame is completely flat on the floor. Figure 3A.
- Secure the gate, fasten the mounting cups to the wall by aligning them with the bolts with rubber pads. Use double coated tape or screws provided as shown in figure 3B.
- Step 4
- Mount your gate
- Place the gate where you want to install it, then extend all 4 bolts with rubber pads until they reach the walls. Ensure that the ends of the bolts with rubber pads are seated inside the mounting cups.
- Tighten both of the bottom tension knobs by turning them clockwise at the same time. Figure 4A.
- Tighten both of the upper tension knobs by turning them clockwise at the same time, so that the gap between the gate and upper right corner comes together, leave 1.5 ~ 2 mm gap as shown in figure 4B.
- Use the wrench provided to ease turning the tension knobs. Figure 4C.
Note: When securing the gate in the opening, the distance between the gate frame and the opening should not exceed 2 ¾” on either side of the gate and the 4 tension bolts should be equal as shown in figure 4D.
Operation
Opening the gate: Pull back the button on the top of the handle with your
thumb, squeeze the trigger on the lower side of the handle, then lift the
inner door up and open the door.
-
Closing the gate: Simply release the gate and allow it to swing closed (unless Stay-Open feature is used).
Note: Always check the handle, bottom swing guard and inner tabs to make sure that the gate is securely locked. -
Pet Door Operation: Place fingers in the two designated openings found on either side of the paw prints on the small pet door. Squeeze and lift upward until the desired height is reached. The door will ‘click’ in place.
Note: This door will open at three height intervals: 5”, 6.5”, 8”. To close, simply reverse the process.
“Stay-Open” Feature
IMPORTANT: Stay-Open Feature should be used only by adults, because the
auto-close feature will be disabled allowing pets to freely pass through the
gate. To make use of the Stay-Open Feature, simply swing the door slightly
past 90 degrees open in either direction. The door will remain open until it
is swung closed.
Swing Control Operation
Rotate the knob downward on the gate stopper to determine the direction the
gate door will swing. Gate opens in both directions when gate stopper is not
rotated. To fully lock, lower the gate stopper to the locked position on both
sides of the gate.
Care
CLEANING: Clean the safety gate using warm water and mild detergent. Use a
soft cloth or sponge to avoid scratches. Never use solvents or chemicals to
clean the safety gate.
