NOTE FOR HARDWARE INSTALLED GATE: Follow steps 1-5 to adjust
the width of your gate to finish installation.
Place the gate in a doorway or hallway that is at least 27.5 inches
wide but no wider than 42.5 inches.
IMPORTANT: Hold the gate upright during installation, flush
against floor.
NOTE: Do not use pressure mount mode at top of stairs. Hardware
is included for top of stair use.
1. Holding the release handle with one hand, first use your thumb
to push and slide the release button that is most comfortable for
you, as shown in diagram
bn
, then lift up on the release handle,
as shown in diagram
bo
.
NOTE: We designed the All-Clear Swing Gate with two release
buttons to make it easy to open regardless of where you are
standing when you want to open the release handle. You only
need to push and slide ONE release button in order to lift the
release handle.
2. Open the top and bottom adjustment buckles as shown in
diagram
bp
.
a. Push the adjustment buckle tab to the left and hold in place.
b. Now lift up the adjustment buckle to release. Be sure to
release both the top and bottom buckles.
TIP: You may find it difficult to open the adjustment buckles.
The tightness you may encounter is an intentional safety
measure that we’ve built-in for optimal child security. To make it
easier to open the adjustment buckles, try placing the gate flat
on the floor with buckle side facing up towards you. Then, follow
steps a. and b. above and continue with the installation.
