FAQs

How do I install the Safetots Self Closing Gate?

The gate uses a pressure fit system. Place the gate in the opening and adjust the pressure bolts until it is securely wedged between the walls or door frame. Detailed instructions and an online video guide are available.

What is the safety standard this gate meets?

The Safetots Self Closing Gate is safety tested and complies with the EN1930:2011 Safety Standards.

Can I use this gate at the top of the stairs?

Yes, but it is recommended to use the included one-way gate stopper to ensure the gate opens only away from the stairs. Ensure the gate is perfectly level and securely fitted.

How wide is the walk-through opening?

The gate features a wide walk-through design for convenient passage for adults and older children. Specific dimensions can be found in the product manual.

What is the height of the gate?

The height of the gate when installed is 75.5cm.

Can I extend the width of the gate?

Yes, the gate can be effortlessly extended with simple one-piece gate extensions to accommodate various doorway widths beyond its standard range.

How do I clean the gate?

Clean the gate using a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials to protect the finish.

Troubleshooting

Gate is wobbly or unstable.

Ensure all pressure bolts are evenly tightened. Check that the gate is mounted on a flat, solid surface. Re-tighten bolts periodically, especially after initial installation.

Self-closing mechanism is slow or not engaging.

Check for obstructions around the hinges or closing mechanism. Ensure the gate is installed level; if not, it may not close properly. Clean any dirt or debris from the mechanism.

Double-lock system is difficult to operate.

Ensure your hands are clean and dry. The mechanism might require a firm, deliberate action. Check for any debris lodged in the lock.

Gate doesn't fit the opening.

Verify the opening width against the gate's specified range (147cm - 154cm). If the opening is wider, you will need compatible gate extensions.
