Setup and Installation

Before You Begin

• Ensure you have the necessary tools: drill (6mm drill bit recommended), screwdriver, and a level.
• Identify suitable mounting surfaces (wooden walls, concrete walls, brick walls). Avoid drywall or plasterboard.
• Measure your opening to ensure it falls within the 26-43" width range.

Installation Steps

1. Prepare the Template: Use the provided template to mark pilot holes on your door frame or wall. Ensure the template is level and positioned correctly for the gate's height.
2. Drill Pilot Holes: Using a 6mm drill bit, drill pilot holes at the marked locations. Insert wall anchors if installing into concrete or brick.
3. Attach Wall Hinges/Brackets: Secure the wall hinges and brackets to the drilled holes using the provided mounting screws. Ensure they are firmly attached and aligned.
4. Mount the Gate: Attach the gate panels to the installed hinges. Adjust the width of the gate to fit your opening by removing or adding E-latches as needed.
5. Install Latches: Secure the upper and lower latches to the opposite side of the opening, ensuring they align perfectly with the gate's locking mechanism. Use a level to confirm proper alignment for smooth operation.
6. Final Adjustments: Test the gate's opening and closing mechanism. Make any minor adjustments to the latches or hinges to ensure a secure and smooth operation.

Operating Instructions

Opening the Gate

The Babelio gate is designed for convenient one-handed operation. To open, press the button on the top latch, lift the gate slightly, and then swing it open. The gate can swing open in either direction, providing flexibility for your space.

Closing the Gate

The gate features an auto-close mechanism. If the gate is opened less than 90 degrees, it will gently swing back and latch automatically. For wider openings (90 degrees or more), the gate will stay open, allowing for continuous passage. Simply push it slightly to engage the auto-close feature.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and proper function of your Babelio Baby Gate, regular maintenance is recommended:

• Cleaning: Wipe down the gate regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish.
• Inspection: Periodically check all screws, latches, and hinges to ensure they are tight and in good working order. Tighten any loose screws.
• Lubrication: If the hinges or latch mechanism become stiff, apply a small amount of silicone-based lubricant to ensure smooth operation.

Troubleshooting

• Gate not latching properly: Check if the gate is level and if the latches are aligned correctly with the receiving mechanism. Adjust the position of the wall latches if necessary.
• Gate feels loose or wobbly: Ensure all mounting screws are tightened. Verify that the gate is installed on a solid surface as per the installation instructions.
• Gate not auto-closing: Check for any obstructions preventing the gate from swinging freely. Ensure the gate is not opened beyond the 90-degree stay-open position.
• Difficulty with one-handed operation: Ensure the latch mechanism is clean and free of debris. Apply a small amount of lubricant if needed.
