Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The Safetots Self Closing Gate is designed for a straightforward pressure-fit installation. Ensure the opening you wish to secure falls within the gate's adjustable width range (82.2cm - 89.2cm for this specific model, or wider with extensions). Follow the included step-by-step instructions, which may also reference an online video guide. The pressure-fit system works by tightening adjusting knobs that push against the walls or doorframe, creating a secure barrier. For stair installations, it is crucial to note that while the gate is safety tested to EN1930:2011, pressure-fit gates are *not recommended* for the top of any stairs due to the risk of the gate being pushed out. It should ideally be used at the bottom of stairs or in doorways.

Compatibility:

This gate is compatible with openings within its specified width range. Additional one-piece extensions can be purchased separately to accommodate wider openings.

Care:

Clean the gate using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which could damage the finish or compromise the safety certifications. Ensure all pressure-fit knobs remain securely tightened over time, especially after initial installation or if the gate is frequently used.
