Troubleshooting

Gate is wobbly or unstable.

Re-adjust the tension screws, ensuring all four mounting points are firmly pressing against the wall or door frame. Ensure the gate is level before tightening.

Gate does not close or lock properly.

Check for any obstructions around the gate frame or locking mechanism. Ensure the gate is correctly aligned within its frame and attempt to close with a firmer push to engage the assisted closing system.

Difficulty operating the handle with one hand.

Ensure your hand is correctly positioned on the ergonomic handle and apply steady pressure. Clean the handle mechanism if it feels stiff, as dirt or debris might be affecting its smooth operation.

Gap between gate and frame.

This often indicates the tension is not sufficient. Tighten the pressure-fit screws further until the gap is closed and the gate is secure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Safetots SafeStep Gate uses a pressure-fit system. Ensure all four mounting points are securely in contact with the wall or door frame. Adjust the tension screws until the gate is firmly in place, creating a stable barrier. Check stability by gently pushing the gate in both directions. The included gate restrictor can be used to prevent opening in unwanted directions, or to fix the gate to open only one way.

Compatibility: This gate is designed to fit openings within a specific range. Always measure your doorway or opening accurately before purchasing to ensure a correct fit. Additional wall cups may be recommended for use on certain surfaces or for enhanced stability, especially at the top of stairs.

Care: Clean the gate regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the metal finish. Ensure all tension screws remain tight after cleaning.
