manual abstract
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 the bottom. 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 (q) and only lower screw holes, mount hinge bottoms (b) with posts pointing up. Top screw holes will be used later. Screw hinge spindles (c) into top and bottom rails of gate section (h) until they are extended equally. These will be adjusted to the correct length at a later stage so do not tighten. Repeat process on gate section (i) using latch spindles (m). Mounting Locking Side Screws provided are for mounting directly into wood. If mounting into brick, drywall or other surfaces, use appropriate hardware. If installing into hardwood (i.e. oak), drilling a pilot hole may be necessary. Hold template (j) against mounting surface in line with opposite hinges, making sure end marked is even with floor. Mark 4 screw hole positions. Remove template. Determine which direction the gate should open. For stairways, gate should never open out over stairs. Using 2 screws (q), screw bottom locking bracket (p) into lower set of screw holes with opening side facing direction gate will open. Fit locking latch (k) into locking latch bracket (l). As an added safety measure, a stop pin has been provided. Insert stop pin (s) from behind locking latch bracket into hole oppo-site opening direction. Using 2 screws, screw into upper set of screw holes. Correct width will be reached by adjusting gate sections and all four corner spindles. Each spindle adjusts individually and may be extended to varying lengths to allow for molding, uneven walls, etc. Spindles may be extended a minimum of 1” but not more than 3” on each side. Adjust gate sections, until gate is approximately right width and adjustment holes are aligned on top and bottom. Sections should fit without any distance between bars. Gate sections must not be extended any further than 4 adjustment holes from spindle ends of gate and holes must overlap at two places on both top and bottom railing. Place one set of expansion screws and screw sockets (f & g) in top and bottom set of overlapping adjustment holes nearest hinge side of gate and second set of expansion screws and screw sockets in overlapping holes nearest locking side of gate. Tighten with a screwdriver. Min: 1” Max: 3” Center gate in opening. Gaps on each side should be equal. Place hinge spindles (c) over hinge bottom posts (b), dropping them into place. Adjust latch spindles (m) out until they fit securely into two locking brackets. Latch spindle at top must be adjusted so it clicks under locking latch when in closed position. Space between end of gate and mounting surface should be no less than 1” and not more 3” on each side. Check that gate can be easily opened and closed without catching. Place a spring (d) and hinge cap (e) on each hinge post. This may require some manipulation to ensure hinge posts fit and holes line up. Insert remaining 2 screws and tighten. With wrench (n) tighten lock nuts on all spindles towards gate. WARNING. Spring must be placed OVER hinge spindle and hinge cap must be installed as directed. A protective plastic cover (r) is provided for top latch spindle. Cut cover, remove latch spindle and put cover on. Return spindle and adjust to correct length. I I I I To open gate, press down on locking latch with thumb, lift gate and slide out of upper and lower locking brackets. Note. Gate should always be in locked position. If gate is open and excessive pressure is applied, hinge posts are designed to break to prevent structural dama ge. To lock gate, latch spindle at top must click under locking latch when in closed position. Bottom latch spindle must rest in bottom bracket. No part of this gate requires lubrication. l Clean by sponging with warm water and mild detergent. • Do not use abrasive cleaners or bleach. • If using outdoors, and to help prevent rust, treat all exposed metal with a rust inhibitor. Some rusting may still occur.
