Troubleshooting
Gate is wobbly or unstable.
Ensure all four pressure-fit bolts are tightened evenly and firmly. Check that the mounting cups are properly seated against the wall or frame. Re-read the installation guide for proper tensioning.
The double-locking mechanism is difficult to operate.
Make sure the gate is installed perfectly level and plumb. Sometimes, slight adjustments to the bolt tension can resolve stiffness. Ensure no obstructions are in the locking mechanism.
Gate does not close completely.
Check for any obstructions in the doorway or at the base of the gate. Ensure the frame of the gate is not bent. Adjust the bolt tension if necessary.
The gate opens outwards towards the stairs.
This is a safety hazard. The gate MUST NOT open outwards at the top of the stairs. Install the optional one-way gate stopper (sold separately) or relocate the gate to a doorway where it opens away from the stairs.
