installation instructions
1. Pull your Stair Barrier across stairs with the
rod in place. Slide one of the brackets onto
the bottom of the rod, flat side to the wall and
flush to the bottom of the step, or the floor
if using at the top of the stairs. Mark the 4
bracket holes with a pencil. Roll TSB back
to the banister side for the time being. If you
have molding, install the 4 screws directly
through the bracket into the wall without TSB
inserted.
See Fig. A.
If you are drilling into
wood or studs, you will not need the anchors.
If you are attaching directly to drywall, use a
hammer to gently tap anchor bolts halfway
into the drywall at the 4 pencil marks. Use a
screwdriver to tighten until flush with the wall.
See Fig B.
2. Insert TSB with rod into the bottom bracket.
Take the 2nd bracket and slide onto the top
of the rod, flat side against the wall. Use a
level to ensure the rod is as level as pos-
sible. Mark 4 holes with a pencil. Roll TSB
back to the banister side.
3. If you are attaching to drywall, use a hammer
to gently tap anchor bolts halfway into the
drywall at the 4 pencil marks. Use a screw-
driver to install the rest of the way (until flush
with the wall).
4. Once you have determined how many
spacers you need, slide the second bracket
with screws and spacers onto TSB with
rod. Line up screws to the pencil marks,
or anchor bolts and tighten into place.
See Fig. C.
