To install
Mounting area
For proper installation, the gate must be installed in an opening where
wall on both sides is straight and the floor is level.
NOTE: Hinge bracket spacers may be necessary if there’s a baseboard.
(See page 5 for installation instructions.)
Mounting surfaces
Remember that the hinge and wall mount brackets must be firmly
screwed into solid wood surfaces or solid wood studs. Do not attach to
metal railing or metal wall covering, or to sheet rock, plaster or lathe
board (unless you have verified that a stud is directly underneath).

When mounting at the top of stairs ALWAYS assure gate swings
away from stairs and ALWAYS use safety bracket.
ALWAYS use the hardware mounting method when installing the All-Clear Swing Gate at the top of stairs, as it
provides maximum security. Do not use in pressure mount mode at the top of stairs. Adult assembly required.
The First Years All-Clear Swing Gate can be either pressure mounted or hardware mounted. Once hardware mounted, you can
also switch back and forth for use in pressure mount application.
