Introduction

This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your Cumbor 36" Extra Tall Baby Gate. Designed for safety and convenience, this gate is suitable for securing areas from babies, toddlers, and pets. Please read all instructions carefully before assembly and use to ensure proper function and safety.

Important Safety Information:

• Always ensure the gate is securely installed before use.
• Do not use this gate at the top of stairs without proper hardware mounting.
• Regularly check all parts for wear, damage, or loose connections.
• Never leave children unattended near the gate.

Setup and Installation

The Cumbor Baby Gate offers versatile installation options, primarily designed for pressure mounting without the need for drilling. Hardware mounting is also an option for added security, especially at the top of stairs.

1. Pressure-Mounted Installation (No Hardware Required)

This method is ideal for doorways and hallways where drilling is not desired. The gate is held in place by pressure against the walls.

1. Positioning the Gate: Place the gate in the desired opening. Initially, there will be a gap between the gate frame and the door. This is normal and will close as the tension bolts are tightened.
2. Tightening Tension Bolts: Rotate the tension bolts located at each corner of the gate. Turn them clockwise to extend and apply pressure against the walls. Continue tightening until the gate is secure and the initial gap between the lock and frame disappears.
3. Removing Zip Tie: Once the gate is fully secure and the gap is closed, you may remove the zip tie connecting the door and frame.

Pressure-Mount with Rotating Bolt: Simply rotate the tension bolt until the gate is secure and the gap between the lock and frame disappears.

Close the Gap & Remove Zip Tie: The gap between the lock and door frame will disappear as you rotate the tension bolt. Once closed, remove the zip tie.

For rounded banisters, a Y pressure mount (sold separately or included with specific models) can be used to provide a secure fit.

Keep Curves Safe: The Y pressure mount provides a secure solution for rounded banisters.

2. Hardware Installation (Optional)

For maximum security, especially when installing at the top of stairs, hardware mounting is recommended.

1. Install Wall Anchors: Place the gate where you plan to install it and use a pencil to mark the position of the screw holes for the wall anchors. Use a drill to punch the holes, insert the wall anchors, and tap into place with a hammer.
2. Attach Wall Cups: Attach wall cups with screws using a screwdriver or drill. Place the gate into the wall cups and rotate tension bolts to increase pressure until secure.

Step 1 (With Hardware) - Install Wall Anchors: Mark holes, drill, insert anchors.

Step 2 (With Hardware) - Attach Wall Cups: Secure wall cups and tighten tension bolts.

The Cumbor gate is designed to fit openings from 29.7 inches up to 57 inches wide, making it suitable for various doorways, hallways, and stair openings.
