Determine Installation Position
Your gate can be installed in two different ways.
Inside an opening in
between two surfaces
In front of an opening
See step 1
See step 8
Step 1
Determine the size your gate
needs to be in the sizing chart
on page 4. When putting your
panels together the flat side of
the curved plastic end caps (on
the end of the panel) must line
up flush with the other panel.
Place one of the Clamping Brackets just under the top
rail between the spindles in the center opening, with the
studs pointing up. Match up one of the Top Covers to
nest with the Clamping Bracket. Use two of the Socket
Screws and screw the Top Cover and Clamping Bracket
together. It might be helpful to lay the gate down or turn
the gate over to screw them in. Then attach the second
Top Cover.
Repeat Step 1 for the second Clamping Brackets at the
bottom of the gate.
IMPORTANT:
REGARDING THE INCLUDED MOUNTING SCREWS!
Before marking where to attach the gate, make sure you
have chosen a solid surface for mounting the gate to. The
included screws are intended for the following locations.
Directly into wood
Use the 2 Medium 1.5
″
(40 mm)
Screws for the
lower holes in the hinge brackets and the 6
Short 3/4
″
(20 mm) Screws for the other holes
when mounting directly into wood, for example
in a door frame or other framed opening. If
installing into hardwood, first drill a 3/32"
(2mm) pilot hole.
Into a stud behind drywall
Use a stud finder to locate where there is a stud
behind the drywall. Use 2 Long 2
″
(50 mm)
Screws for the lower holes in the hinge brackets
and 6 Medium 1.5
″
(40 mm) Screws for the
other holes when mounting the gate into a stud.
Any other surface
If mounting into drywall only, brick or other surface, use
only the appropriate hardware for that surface. Consult
with a certified child proofer, a handyman or your local
hardware store if you are unsure.
