Operating the Gate
Opening the Gate
To open the gate, engage the latch mechanism and lift the door. The gate is designed for convenient one-hand operation for adults.

Closing and Auto-Close Feature
The gate features an auto-close mechanism. If the door is opened less than 90 degrees, it will automatically swing shut. If opened more than 90 degrees, it will stay open for convenient passage. A stopper prevents the door from swinging over the top of stairs when installed in that location.

Maintenance
To maintain your Ingenuity gate, regularly wipe down metal and plastic surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish. Periodically check all screws and tension mounts to ensure they remain tight and secure.
Troubleshooting
- Gate appears bent or not square: This is normal before proper installation. The gate will appear square once fully installed and tightened.
- Gate not closing properly: Ensure all tension mounts are evenly tightened. The gate frame should be slightly compressed to allow the latch to engage smoothly.
- Gate feels loose: Re-tighten all pressure-mount bolts or hardware screws. If using pressure mounts, ensure wall cups are firmly in place.
