Troubleshooting

Gate wobbles or feels insecure

Re-adjust the tension bolts, ensuring they are tightened evenly on both sides. Make sure the gate is centered in the opening and that wall cups are properly seated if used.

Auto-close mechanism not engaging

Ensure the gate is not hitting anything when closing and that the hinges are clear. Check that the gate is installed level and not at an angle that prevents it from swinging freely.

Difficult to open or close

Check for any obstructions around the gate or in the locking mechanism. Ensure the tension bolts are not overtightened, which can warp the frame.

Visual lock indicator not showing securely closed

This indicates the gate is not fully latched. Ensure the gate is pushed completely shut until the indicator confirms a secure lock. Re-check installation tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unpack all components and identify the gate, tension bolts, and wall cups.
  2. Place the gate in the desired doorway or opening.
  3. Adjust the tension bolts by turning them until the gate is snug against the doorframe. Ensure even pressure on both sides.
  4. Use the provided wall cups (if needed for added stability or to protect surfaces) and ensure they are firmly pressed against the wall.
  5. Once the gate is stable and secure, adjust the locking mechanism according to the included instructions. The gate should not wobble when pushed.

Compatibility:

  • This gate is designed for openings between 71cm and 80cm. Extensions are available separately for wider openings.
  • The pressure fit system works best on flat, solid surfaces like doorframes and walls.
  • Consider the gate stopper feature if you need to restrict the opening direction, especially for stairways.

Care:

  • Clean the gate with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the paint finish.
  • Regularly check the tension bolts to ensure they remain tight and the gate is secure.
  • Inspect the locking mechanisms and hinges periodically for smooth operation.
