Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prepare the Gate Unit: Install the two small brackets onto the gate unit. Peel off the adhesive paper from the back of these brackets.
- Select Installation Location: Choose a suitable location at the top or bottom of stairways, doorways, or hallways. Ensure the bottom of the main gate body is on the ground. If there is a baseboard, slide the lower bracket up to a suitable position to clear the baseboard.
- Mark Drill Holes (Gate Side): Place the gate unit against the wall in the desired position. Use the brackets as a template to mark the exact positions for drilling holes. Remove the gate unit.
- Drill Holes (Gate Side): Drill pilot holes according to the marks. Use a 2.5mm drill bit for timber surfaces and a 5mm drill bit for hardwall. Insert the expansion glues (anchors) into the drilled holes.
- Mount Gate Brackets: Securely screw the main mounting brackets to the wall using the provided screws.
- Install Gate Unit: Carefully slide the gate unit onto the mounted brackets. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
- Extend and Mark Latch Position: Press and turn the knob on the gate unit to the "Unlock" position. Pull the mesh fabric horizontally across the opening to the opposite door frame or wall. Hook the latch onto the wall.
- Mark Drill Holes (Latch Side): With the gate extended and vertical, use the latch as a template to mark the positions for drilling holes for the catch mounts. Remove the gate.
- Drill Holes (Latch Side): Drill pilot holes and insert expansion glues as done for the gate side.
- Mount Catch Mounts: Securely screw the catch mounts to the wall.
- Test Operation: Ensure the gate extends, latches, and retracts smoothly.
