Troubleshooting

Gate does not close automatically

Ensure the gate is installed on a level surface and that the tension screws are properly adjusted. Check if the automatic closing mechanism is obstructed.

Gate feels wobbly or unstable

Re-adjust the tension screws. Ensure they are tightened evenly against the walls or door frame until the gate is firm. Check for any obstructions preventing even pressure.

One-handed opening mechanism is stiff

Check for any debris or obstructions in the locking mechanism. Gently clean and test again. Ensure the gate is correctly aligned.

Visual alert indicator is not showing correctly

This might indicate the gate is not fully latched. Ensure it is closed completely and that no obstructions are preventing the latch from engaging.

Gate stopper not holding position

Ensure the gate stopper is securely attached and that the gate is pushed past the 90-degree mark firmly for the stay-open feature to engage. Check for any damage to the stopper mechanism.
