How To Install
STEP 4: INSTALL WALL CUPS
TOOLS NEEDED:
• Drill
• Phillips Screwdriver
• Pencil
1. Ensure the wall cups are on the end of 4 adjustment rods.
2. Temporarily place the gate where you want to install
it, flush against the floor. Pull the adjustment rods out
until they reach the walls and trace the position of
each wall cup with a pencil.
3. Retract the adjustment rods and set the gate aside
for now.
4. Hold the wall cup in position and mark the center with
a pencil. Then put the cup aside.
5. Determine whether there is a stud behind the drywall
where you will install each wall cup. Proceed to either
6a or 6b.
PLEASE NOTE: The gate should be resting on the floor.
If there is a gap, it must be less than 0.196" (5mm)
between the gate and the floor.
