Plan ahead
Before you begin installation, you need to decide whether you want to pressure mount or hardware mount the gate.
Hardware mounting (pages 4-6) must be used when installing the gate at the top of the stairs, and may be used in a doorway or
hallway that you always want to be a secured area for your child. Hardware mounting provides the added convenience of one-handed,
swing-thru opening. Once hardware is mounted, you can also switch back and forth for use in pressure mount application.
Pressure mounting (pages 7-8) should be used to secure doorways or hallways that you only need to protect your child from some
of the time. Pressure mounting gives you the flexibility to easily move the gate from room to room.
NOTE: When in pressure mount mode, gate does not swing open. You must remove entirely from doorway or area to open.
When hardware mounting the gate in a doorway with a baseboard, you might need to use the spacers provided.
