FAQs
Can this gate be used at the top of the stairs?
While it is a secure gate, it is a pressure-fit model. For top-of-stairs use, hardware-mounted gates are generally recommended for maximum safety.
What is the maximum width this gate can reach?
The gate fits openings between 73 cm and 80 cm, but can be extended up to 136 cm with separate extension kits.
Do I need tools to install it?
No, it is a pressure-fit gate that requires no drilling, though you may use the included tools to adjust the tension bolts.
Is it safe for pets?
Yes, it is suitable for keeping both children and pets away from restricted areas.
Does it open in both directions?
Yes, the gate is designed to be opened in either direction for convenience.
Troubleshooting
The gate does not latch automatically
Check that the gate is level and the tension bolts are adjusted correctly to allow the gate to swing freely into the catch.
The gate feels loose or unstable
Verify that all pressure-fit bolts are tightened evenly against the wall or doorframe.
SecurTech indicator stays red
Re-adjust the tension bolts on both sides until the mechanism aligns perfectly and the indicator switches to green.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation is straightforward due to the pressure-fit design. Simply place the gate within the opening and tighten the tension bolts evenly until the gate is stable and the SecurTech indicator shows the correct locked status. Ensure that the mounting surfaces are clean and level to maximize the gate's grip. For care, wipe the metal frame with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dust or fingerprints. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish. Periodically check that all tension points remain tight and that the locking mechanism is free of debris to ensure smooth operation.
