  • Page 9 IMPORTANT: The gate ships with a cable tie holding it together. Please keep this cable tie in place until after Step 10 to make installation a lot easier! Step 1 Measure the opening to determine if extensions are needed, please see OPENING SIZE and EXTENSION requirements on page 4.
  • Page 10 Step 3 Insert the Bottom Spindle Housing with the AccuInstall Indicator™ into the bottom bar on the locking side of the gate. Repeat the same for the Bottom Spindle Housing without the pressure indicator on the hinge side of the gate.
  • Page 11 BOTTOM BOTTOM Step 5 HINT – It is easier to complete the following steps if you have a helper, one holding the gate in place while the other installs the gate.

Alternate between the sides until the red area inside the AccuInstall Indicator™ disappears. This means the bottom of the gate is securely installed.
  • Page 14 Step 11 If you want the gate to open in only one direction, you will need to add the One-Way Stop. Slide the One-Way Stop onto the lower bar turned in a way so it blocks opening the door in the desired direction. Once positioned, line it up with the hole in the lower bar and insert the screw to hold it in place.
  • Page 15 Each Extension comes with Spindle Housing already inserted, so the Spindles can be inserted directly into the last Extension on each side. When adding multiple extensions, make sure to add them on every other side of the gate, unless there is only one Extension used.
