1. The gap between the gate to the wall should be less than 2.25" (57mm). If necessary,
adjust the upper and lower hinge adjustment rods using the wrench and hex key to its
appropriate lengths. Then tighten the nut against the tube by using the wrench.
Next, Install the gate into the opening by simultaneously inserting the gate’s upper
and lower hinge pins down into the hinge wall brackets until it clicks.
2. On the catch side of the gate, loosen the nut around the lower adjustment rod using
the wrench. Extend the adjustment rod by turning it clockwise until it is seated in the
lower catch bracket on the wall. Then, tighten the nut against the tube by using
the wrench.
