Step 1

Identify the rail with only 

one hole in it. With the hole 

towards the bottom, push the 

Top Lock into the top of the 

FastMount® Locking Rail (A/B) 

until the plastic tab snaps into 

place on the back of the rail 

(Picture A). Push the Bottom 

Lock into the bottom of the Locking Rail until the plastic 

tab snaps into place on the back of the rail (Picture B).

IMPORTANT: 

If you are mounting on a wall with 

quarter round molding on the floor, 

push in the locking tab on the back and 

pull out the Quarter Round Spacer from 

the bottom of the Bottom Lock. 

If you are mounting on a wall that has a 

baseboard, please see Page 14 how to 

use the included baseboard spacers. 

Step 2

Repeat Step 1 for 

the Top and Bottom 

Hinge pieces on the 

FastMount® Hinge 

Rail (C/D).

IMPORTANT:

 

REGARDING THE INCLUDED MOUNTING SCREWS!

Before marking where to attach the gate, make sure 

you have a solid surface for mounting the gate to. The 

included screws are intended for the following locations:

Directly into wood

The Short 2" (50 mm) Screws are used when mounting 

directly onto wood, for example in a door frame or other 

framed opening. The 

shorter screw

 in the pack is used for 

the top of the FastMount® 

Locking Rail

. When installing 

into hardwood, first drill a 3/32" (2 mm) pilot hole. 

Into a stud behind drywall

Use a stud-finder to locate where there is a stud behind 

the drywall. Then use the Medium 2.75" (70 mm) Screws 

to mount the gate into the stud.

 

The shorter screw in the 

pack is used for the top of the FastMount® Locking Rail.

If using at top of stairs install gate a minimum 1

"

 (2.5 

cm) from top step! 

Using Baseboard Spacers

If attaching the gate using Baseboard Spacers, see page 

14, use the Long 3.25" (85 mm) Screws to secure into the 

stud. The 

shorter screw

 included in pack is used for the 

top of the FastMount® 

Locking Rail

.

Any other surface

If mounting into drywall, 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. Never mount into 

hollow wall or hollow brick.
