Setup and Installation
This gate is designed for pressure mounting. It expands to fit openings between 29-36.5 inches wide. Always measure your opening prior to purchase to ensure proper fit.
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Opening: Ensure the doorway or hallway where the gate will be installed is clean and free of obstructions.
- Assemble the Gate: If your opening requires it, attach the 4-inch extension kit to the main gate frame.
- Insert Spindle Rods: Insert the four pressure mount spindle rods into the holes at the four corners of the gate frame.
- Position the Gate: Place the gate in the desired opening. The gate will initially appear bent or have a gap at the latch. This is normal for pressure-mounted gates before full tension is applied.
- Apply Tension: Unscrew the tension cap thingies on the spindle rods until the rubber feet are firm against the door frame or wall. Adjust each rod evenly.
- Secure with Wall Cups: For added security and to prevent the gate from being dislodged, install the included wall cups. These can be pressure-mounted or, for a more secure attachment, screwed into the wall using the provided hardware. Wall cups are essential for keeping the gate in place.
- Final Adjustment: Make final adjustments to the uppermost pressure points to ensure the latch closes properly and smoothly. If the latch is sticking, slightly unscrew the tension caps on each side until it operates freely.
ATTENTION:
The gap between the door latch and the frame is NOT a defect! This is a pressure-mounted gate. When set in the door frame, the gate will appear bent. After proper installation, the gate frame will flex, and the gap will disappear.

Operating the Gate
The Regalo Easy Step Extra Tall Walk Thru Baby Gate features a convenient walk-through door with a safety-lock mechanism.
Opening the Gate:
- Locate the latch mechanism at the top of the gate.
- The latch includes a spring safety feature (often a gray, rubbery part) that holds the latch down. Firmly grip and slide this safety feature sideways.
- While holding the safety feature, lift up on the freed end of the plastic latch lever. This action retracts the two bars holding the gate in place.
- The gate will then swing open in one direction. Note that the latch design typically allows the gate to open only one way.
Closing the Gate:
- Gently push the gate door closed until the latch mechanism automatically engages.
- Always ensure the latch is securely engaged by giving it a slight tug.
Maintenance
- Regular Checks: Periodically inspect the gate to ensure all hardware and mounting points are tight and secure. Re-tighten pressure rods as needed.
- Cleaning: The gate can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
- Component Inspection: Regularly check for any signs of wear, damage, or missing parts. Discontinue use if any component is compromised.
Troubleshooting
- Gate Appears Bent or Has a Gap: This is normal for pressure-mounted gates before full tension is applied. Ensure all four pressure mount spindle rods are evenly tightened until the gate frame flexes and the gap at the latch disappears. Refer to the "ATTENTION" image in the Setup section.
- Latch Sticking or Not Engaging: The final adjustment of the uppermost pressure points is critical. If the latch is sticking, slightly unscrew the tension caps on each side until the latch operates smoothly and engages properly. Ensure the gate is not over-tightened or under-tightened.
- Gate Feels Unstable: Ensure the wall cups are properly installed and secured. For maximum stability, use the optional screw-mounted wall cups. Regularly check and re-tighten the pressure rods.
- Missing Parts: If any parts are missing upon arrival, do not attempt to install or use the gate. Contact customer support immediately.
- Gate Dislodged by Child/Pet: This indicates insufficient tension or improper installation of wall cups. Re-evaluate the installation, ensuring all pressure rods are tight and wall cups are securely in place.
