Installation Instructions

Your Stairway Gate is a hinge mounted gate, that when installed correctly, should not swing out over a stairway. Before proceeding with your installation, refer to (figure 1) to determine which way you want your gate to swing.

Installation dimensions for the mounting sockets are shown for the hinge side of the gate in (figure 2), and installation dimensions for the locking side are shown in (figure 3). NOTE: Do not install gate mounting sockets into sheetrock or plaster.

To attach the hinge side of the gate to the mounting sockets, refer to (figure 4). Note that to align the hinge posts over the mounting sockets, the gate must be at a 45-90 degree angle to the plane of the opening. Once the hinge posts are aligned over the mounting sockets (figure 5), set the gate into place. The gate can be removed from the opening by reversing this procedure.

Check to see that the release handle is positioned properly (figure 6). If not, simply remove the two screws holding it into place, and move it to the top side of the gate, installing it with the two screws you previously removed.

OPERATING THE GATE

To lock the gate, align the locking pegs over the mounting sockets (figure 7), and set the gate into place. Make sure that each time you use the gate, both the top and bottom locking pegs are set into the mounting sockets. Test your installation by pulling up on both the hinge and locking sides of the gate to make sure you can’t dislodge either side.

To unlock the gate, pull back on the release handle, and lift up on the gate panel until the locking pegs clear the sockets (figure 8).
