Each end may have no more than 4 extensions.

Installation
1. The gate must be installed in a structurally sound
opening. Never install between two railings or two stair
posts.
Ensure mounting surface (wall, doorframe, stair post,
etc.) is strong, rigid and is smooth, clean and grease
free.
If mounting onto brick, drywall or other surfaces,
an optional gate installation kit, wooden board
mounted to the surface or additional hardware may
be necessary to provide a solid, smooth surface.
Measure opening to determine if extensions are
needed. Correct width will be reached by adjusting all
4 corner spindles. Each spindle adjusts individually
and may be extended to varying lengths (up to 13/4"
each) to allow for molding, uneven walls, etc.
If using gate on a stairway, it must be placed on the
lowest stair on bottom.
2. Spindle attachment is different when using
extensions and when not using extensions.
If no extension/s are used, slide top spindles (b) and
bottom spindles (s) into spindle housing end with out
tab (c). Push assembly into gate corners.

3. If using extension/s, (see Extension Placement
Guide) insert square extension tubes (j) into gate ends.
Connect the bar (k) to one upper extension housing (h)
and one lower extension housing (i). Push assembly
over extension tubes.
There should be no metal showing from extension
tubes. It may be necessary to apply pressure to tubes
to ensure they are fully inserted into gate ends. Slide
top spindles (b) and bottom spindles (s) into extension
tubes.
4. Note:
Spindle housings are not used if square extension
tubes are necessary. If the housings have been
inserted, remove with a screwdriver.
5. Center the gate in opening with bottom rail resting
on floor. Gaps on each side should be equal.
Open the handle to the raised position by pressing the
button (r) and lifting the handle (n) at the same time.
BUTTON MUST ALWAYS BE PRESSED IN WHEN
LIFTING HANDLE.
FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN HANDLE
MECHANISM BREAKING.
