Please keep these instructions for your reference.

Installing Your Gate

Step 1: Place your expandable gate in an opening no smaller than 24 inches and no larger than 38 inches wide.
Step 2: With one hand on each side of the gate frame, pull away from the center until the gate spans the entire length of your doorway or opening. Note: Be sure to pull from the outside frame of the gate, NOT the inner bars.
Step 3: To lock the gate into position, pull up on the locking pin and slide the adjustment device towards the center of the gate.
Step 4: When the adjustment device can go no further, push down on the locking pin. The pin will insert into one of the holes on the horizontal bar and secure the adjustment device in place.
Step 5: Use the turning knob to tighten and secure the gate in place. Rotate the knob away from you (clockwise) until enough pressure is created to stabilize and secure your gate. Note: Test the gate to make sure it is tightly secured and cannot be easily pushed out.

WARNING: You MUST install wall cups to keep gate in place. Without wall cups, child can push out and escape. Please continue to "Positioning and Attaching Wall Cups" steps after installation.

Note: If the opening has a baseboard or molding near the floor, be sure to place the gate above the molding so that the gate is installed on a vertically even surface.

Positioning and Attaching Wall Cups

Step 1: After you have mounted your gate, and you are satisfied with its positioning, draw an outline on the surface of your doorway or opening around the perimeter of the (4) rubber bumper.
Step 2: With the gate fully removed, you can now use the outlines you marked during STEP 1 as guides for screwing in your (4) wall cups. Center each of the wall cups within the guide outlines and use the provided self-tapping screws to fasten them in place via the hole through the center of each wall cup.
Step 3: Reinstall your gate in the doorway or opening according to the instructions, using the newly installed wall cups as anchoring points for the (4) rubber bumpers.

Removing Your Gate From The Wall

Step 1: Rotate the turning knob towards you (counterclockwise) to alleviate the pressure.
Step 2: Lift up on the locking pin and slide the adjustment device away from the middle of the gate.
Step 3: With both hands on the outer frame of the gate, slide the panels inward and remove the gate from your doorway or opening.
