- Position the Template: Use the provided template to mark the drilling locations for the wall hinges and latches. Ensure the template is level and at the correct height.
- Install Wall Hinges: Drill pilot holes at the marked locations for the wall hinge. Secure the wall hinge to the wall using the provided mounting screws. Ensure it is firmly attached.
- Attach the Gate: Connect the gate frame to the installed wall hinge.

- Adjust Width (if necessary): The gate features adjustable width. If needed, remove the E-latches to extend or retract the gate to fit your opening perfectly.
- Final Check: Test the gate multiple times to ensure it opens and closes smoothly, latches securely, and remains stable when pressure is applied.
