OPENING SIZE AND ANGLE MOUNTING
The Spectrum will fit inside openings from 29.9-41.3" (76-
105 cm) and in front of openings 26.8-38.2" (68-97 cm).
The size of the gate is adjustable by moving the panels
apart and repositioning
the clamps.
Besides the normal
perpendicular mounting,
the Spectrum gate can
be mounted at any angle
within 180 degrees.
This allows the gate to
be mounted inside the
opening, in between odd angled locations, as well as in
front of openings. If installed in front of an opening, the
gate will fit openings up to 38.2" if mounting surface is flat.

bottom of stairs, in openings and doorways, that are
