7. Maintenance
To maintain the cleanliness and functionality of your Dreambaby Broadway GRO Gate, wipe it regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. Periodically check all screws and mounting points to ensure they remain tight and secure. Lubricate hinges if necessary to ensure smooth operation.
8. Troubleshooting
- Gate not locking securely / Red Indicator: Ensure all mounting screws are tightened sufficiently to create proper tension. The gate should be snug in the opening. Check for any obstructions preventing the latch from fully engaging.
- Gate not swinging smoothly: Check hinges for any debris or damage. A small amount of lubricant can be applied to the hinges if they are stiff. Ensure the gate is level and not binding against the floor or frame.
- Gate difficult to open/close: Verify that the puzzle lock mechanism is clean and free of obstructions. Ensure the gate is not over-tightened in the opening, which can cause excessive friction.
