Troubleshooting
Gate does not retract smoothly
Check for obstructions in the retraction path. Ensure the mesh is not tangled or caught on anything. Clean the mechanism housing if debris is present.
Gate feels wobbly or unstable
Verify that all mounting brackets are securely fastened to the wall. Ensure the lower support brackets are properly adjusted and making firm contact. Tighten any loose screws.
Locking mechanism is difficult to engage or disengage
Ensure the gate is fully extended and aligned within its tracks. Check for any dirt or debris obstructing the lock. If persistent, contact customer support.
