4.3. Screw-Mounted Installation (Permanent Fixture)
This method involves drilling into the wall for a secure, permanent installation, ideal for stairs or high-traffic areas. This allows the gate to open like a door. Refer to the video below from 0:21 to 1:43 for a visual guide on measurements and screw-mounted installation.
- Measure and mark the desired height and width for the gate.
- Position the wall-mounted brackets and mark the drill holes.
- Drill the holes and insert wall plugs.
- Secure the wall-mounted brackets with screws.
- Attach the gate to the installed brackets, ensuring it swings freely and latches securely.

4.4. Pressure-Fit Installation (Temporary Use)
This method uses pressure to secure the gate without drilling, suitable for occasional use or when drilling is not an option. This installation allows the gate to be removed by lifting it. Refer to the video below from 1:43 to 2:19 for a visual guide on pressure-fit installation.
- Attach the pressure cups to the gate's adjustable screws.
- Position the gate in the opening.
- Adjust the screws to apply pressure against the walls until the gate is firmly secured. Ensure the gate is stable and cannot be pushed over.
- For removal, loosen the pressure screws and lift the gate.

5. Operating Instructions
The Badabulle Deco Pop gate features an ergonomic handle for easy operation.
5.1. Opening the Gate (Screw-Mounted)
When screw-mounted, the gate functions like a door. Use the ergonomic handle to unlatch and swing the gate open in either direction. Ensure the gate latches securely when closed. Refer to the video in Section 4.3 from 0:00 to 0:09 for a demonstration.
5.2. Opening the Gate (Pressure-Fit)
When pressure-fit, the gate is designed to be lifted and removed from the opening. To pass through, lift the gate from its position. To re-secure, place it back into the opening and ensure it is stable. Refer to the video in Section 4.4 from 0:09 to 0:21 for a demonstration.

6. Maintenance
- Clean the gate regularly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Periodically check all screws, bolts, and locking mechanisms to ensure they are tight and functioning correctly.
- Inspect the wooden components for any splinters, cracks, or damage.
- Do not paint or modify the gate, as this may compromise its safety features.
7. Troubleshooting
- Gate does not fit opening: Ensure the opening is within the 63 cm to 106 cm range. Adjust the gate's extension mechanism as needed.
- Gate feels unstable: For pressure-fit installation, tighten the pressure screws evenly until the gate is firm. For screw-mounted, ensure all screws are securely fastened to the wall.
- Gate difficult to open/close: Check for any obstructions. Ensure the locking mechanism is clean and free of debris. If screw-mounted, verify the hinges are properly aligned.
- Missing parts: Refer to the components overview (Image 3) and contact customer support if any parts are missing.
