INSTALLATION
Determine where you want to mount the gate. For optimum
safety, the mounting location must be a solid wood or metal
surface.
Your Stairway Swing Gate is a hinge mounted gate that, when
installed correctly, should not swing out over a stairway or
into a heavy tra c area. Before proceeding with your
installation, refer to Fig. 1 to determine which way you want
your gate to swing. Recess the gate at least 1" from the edge
of the top stair.
Step 1
Position the solid surface of the swing stop toward the
direction you want to prevent the gate from swinging into.
Using the #10 x 1/2" screws provided, attach the swing stop
to the top rail of the gate (Fig. 1).
Step 2
Using adhesive tape, attach the mounting template on the
solid wood surface that you have chosen for the hinged side
of the gate. Make sure the mounting template is in a straight
vertical position (Fig. 2). Note: If the enclosed mounting
template is not being used, do not mount the gate less than
2" (5 cm) or more than 3" (7.6 cm) above the oor.
Step 3
Drill four 1/8" diameter pilot holes approximately 3/4" deep
into the mounting surface at the marks on the template.
Step 4
Using the #10 x 3/4" hinge screws provided, attach the two
Hinge Brackets to the mounting surface as shown in Fig. 3.
Step 5
Attach the gate to the Hinge Brackets by sliding the hinge
side of the gate down through the Hinge Brackets until the
gate is securely seated. (Fig. 4)
On the opposite side of the opening, make a mark for
mounting the bottom screw eye 5-3/4" up from the top of the
ooring or carpet. (Fig. 5)
Step 6
Measure up exactly 23
3
mark for the top screw eye. (Fig. 5)
Step 7
Drill two pilot holes, approximately 3/4" deep, for the screw
eyes using an electric drill with a 1/8" bit. Screw one of the
screw eyes into each hole until no thread is visible.
Step 8
Attach the gate by inserting the hook into the lower screw eye
(Fig. 6) and secure the locking latch to the top screw eye (Fig. 7).
OPERATING THE GATE
To open gate, unlock the locking latch, raise gate to clear the
hook and swing out of the way. The gate may be quickly and
easily removed from the opening by unlocking the latch and
lifting the gate out of the hinge brackets.
