gate at the top of stairs, be sure that
the door stops are engaged on the

Note: This gate includes door stoppers which prevents the
gate from swinging open in one direction when used at the
top of the stairs.
!
Note: Both door stoppers should be turned
on the opposite side of the stairs, when the
gate is installed.

When door stopper is not needed, rotate
both door stoppers so they are no longer
overlapping the gate frame.
This will allow the gate to open in either direction.

When mounting this product at the top of the stairs,
locate the door stoppers on the top and bottom of the gate,
that are on the opposite side of the stairs.
Swing the door stoppers to overlap the gate frame,

If the gate does not close properly:
1. Gate is not properly aligned in the door
frame.
Solution: To adjust the gate’s alignment,
loosen all four tension bolts and reposition gate
so that it matches the “correct” image.
Re-tighten tension bolts.
2. Pressure of tension bolts needs to be
adjusted.
Solution: Loosen or tighten the upper tension
bolts. Ensure the upper latch engages securely
when the gate swings closed, and that it can be
released properly when the sliding lock tab is
pushed back.
troubleshooting
maintenance
• Regularly check tension bolts to make sure the gate is securely in place.
