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, smoother 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 2” each)
to allow for molding, uneven walls, etc. If using gate
on a stairway, it must be placed on the lowest stair on
bottom.
Spindle attachment is different when using extensions
and when not using extensions. If no
extension/s are used, insert spindle housings (D)
