3. Setup & Installation
3.1 Pre-Installation: Measure Your Opening
Before installation, accurately measure the width of your opening (doorway, hallway, or stairs) to determine if the gate fits and if extension pieces are needed. The gate fits openings from 29.5 inches to 40.5 inches.

3.2 Important Note: Do Not Cut the Belt
DO NOT cut off the belt (zip tie) before installation is completed. There will be a gap at the handle before installation, which is NOT a defect. This gap will disappear once the gate is correctly installed and tightened.

6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Gate feels loose or wobbly | Pressure bolts are not tightened enough. | Tighten the pressure bolts further using the provided wrench until the gate is secure. Ensure the gap at the handle is closed. |
| Gate does not close automatically | Gate is opened past 90 degrees, or installation is not level. | Ensure the gate is not opened past 90 degrees. Re-check installation to ensure the gate is level and properly tensioned. |
| Pet door is too large for small infants | The pet door is designed for small pets. | The pet door can be latched to prevent access. For very small infants, consider alternative gates or additional barriers if the pet door opening is a concern. |
