important: Gate must be installed in a struc-
turally sound opening. Hinge side of gate
must be mounted to a rigid surface.
Ensure mounting surface (wall, door frame,
stairpost etc.) is strong, rigid and has an even
surface.
If using gate on a stairway it must be placed
either on top stair or on lowest stair at bot-
tom.
If using on a top step, use of an optional step
plate is recommended to reduce tripping
potential.
Mounting Hinge Side
Screws provided are for mounting directly
into wood. If mounting into brick, drywall
or other surfaces, use appropriate hard-
ware. If installing into hardwood (i.e. oak),
drilling a pilot hole may be necessary.
Hold template (a) against mounting surface,
making sure end marked
is even with
floor.
Mark 4 screw hole positions.
Remove template.
Using 2 wood screws (g) and only lower
screw holes, mount hinge bottoms (c) with
posts pointing up. Top screw holes will be
used later.
