Gate Installation
IMPORTANT:
At the top of the landing, position the gate a minimum of 3-6 inches (8-1 Scm)
away from the top step.
IMPORTANT:
If baseboard exists, use Short Hinge Bracket on bottom and Large Hinge Bracket
on top. If there is no baseboard, use both Long Hinge Brackets.
IMPORTANT:
If mounting into wallboard, use a 7/32″ (5.5 mm) drill bit for the pilot holes
and the Wall Anchors provided (part K). If mounting on wood, use a 3/32″ (2.4
mm) drill-bit to pre-drill.
Pre-drill holes into wall. With the template, still in place, attach Hinge Brackets with 2 Long Screws (Part J).
Remove precision fit template.
Screw Bolt Assemblies all the way into the top and bottom of the gate.
Tighten tension nuts with the provided wrench.
Line the Bolt Assembly up with the hinge as shown. Bolt can only go into hinges one way. Drop the gate into the Upper and Lower Hinge Brackets.
Unfasten binding posts with Phillips head screwdriver. Save binding posts for Step 9.
IMPORTANT:
Be sure the doorstopper is on the stairway side of gate so the gate can not open over the stairs. If there is baseboard, use Large Top Latch Catch. If there is no baseboard, Small Top Catch.
Doorstopper
IMPORTANT: Be sure the doorstopper is on the stairway side of gate so the gate can not open over the stairs. If there is baseboard, use Large Top Latch Catch. If there is no baseboard, Small Top Catch.
Place the Top Latch catch on the wall so that the arrow is over the area where the pin was marked on the wall.
Mark with a pencil through the screw holes in the Top Latch Catch.
Pre-drill pilot holes using a 3/32 (2.4 mm) drill bit.
Attach the Top Latch Catch using 2 long Screws (part L) If attaching to a wall a baseboard, use the Large Top Latch Catch (part C)
Repeat this step with Bottom Latch Catch.
Once the gate is extended fully, adjust gate sections so the holes line up on the top and bottom of the gate. Screw the binding posts at the top and bottom of the gate closest to the Latch side.
Proceed to tighten the nuts on the bolt assemblies with a wrench.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Be certain to never allow a gap between sides of the gate and opening or bottom of the gate and floor to exceed 3″. Once the gate is in place check to make sure that it is properly secured.
Swing Gate closed, until the handle is engaged.
There should be 1/16″ (1 .6 mm) space between the Gate and the Bottom Latch Catch.
