Setup and Installation

The Cumbor CP7V1 gate is designed for hardware-mounted installation, requiring drilling for maximum security. This method is essential for high-risk areas like the top of stairs. Always ensure screws are anchored into a stud for drywall installations. This gate is not suitable for metal surfaces.

2. Prepare for Installation

Gather the necessary tools: an electric drill or screwdriver, a 5/64" (2mm) drill bit for wooden walls/drywall, or a 5/16" (8mm) drill bit for concrete/brick walls. A stud finder is recommended for drywall installations to locate studs for secure mounting.
