4. Installation
The InnoTruth S3V2 Baby Gate can be installed using either pressure mounting or hardware mounting. Choose the method appropriate for your location and desired stability.
4.1 Pressure Mounting (No Drilling Required)
Ideal for doorways and hallways where drilling is not preferred. This method relies on tension to secure the gate.
- Measure the opening: Ensure the opening width is between 29.5 and 49.75 inches. Use appropriate extensions if needed.
- Attach Tension Bolts: Insert the four tension bolts (C) into the corners of the gate.
- Position the Gate: Place the gate in the desired opening. The gate may appear bent or have a gap at the top before tension is applied; this is normal.
- Apply Sticky Pads (Optional): For added grip, apply sticky pads (G) to the wall cups (F) before placing them against the wall.
- Tighten Tension Bolts: Rotate the adjustment wheels on the tension bolts until the gate is firmly secured against the walls. Ensure the gap at the top of the gate is closed and the gate is stable.

4.2 Hardware Mounting (Recommended for Stairs)
For maximum security, especially at the top of stairs, hardware mounting is recommended.
- Follow steps 1-3 from Pressure Mounting.
- Mark Drill Holes: Once the gate is positioned and lightly tensioned, mark the locations for the wall cups (F) on the wall.
- Drill Pilot Holes: Remove the gate. Drill pilot holes at the marked locations. For drywall, insert wall anchors (E).
- Secure Wall Cups: Attach the wall cups (F) to the wall using screws (D).
- Re-position and Tighten: Place the gate back into the wall cups and tighten the tension bolts (C) until the gate is secure.

6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the gate with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.

7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Gate does not close securely | Tension bolts are too loose or too tight; gate is misaligned. | Adjust tension bolts until the gate closes with a firm click. Ensure the gate frame is straight. |
| Gate is difficult to open/close | Tension bolts are too tight; hinges are stiff. | Slightly loosen tension bolts. Lubricate hinges if necessary. |
