Kidco G1520 - Manual (Page 5)

NOTE: THIS GATE IS ONLY INTENDED FOR USE
AS A ROOM DIVIDER OR IN A DOORWAY
For further clarification, please see back of user
guide for corresponding drawings.
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,
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 1 ¾” each) to allow
for molding, uneven walls, etc. This gate can be used
in a closed doorway (Fig 1), but CANNOT be used on
a stairway.
2. Spindle attachment is different when using
extensions and when not using extensions. If no
extension/s are used, slide top spindles (a) and
bottom spindles (c) into spindle housing end (b ).
Push assembly into gate corners.
3. If using extension/s, (see Extension Placement
Guide) insert square extension tubes (f) into gate ends. Connect extension bar (g) to one upper extension
housing (d) and one lower extension housing (e).
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 (a)
and bottom spindles (c) into extension tubes.
4. 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.
IMPORTANT: The gate must be level and straight up
and down, otherwise the gate’s self closing door will
not function properly.
6. Pull out the two bottom spindles (c) until they touch
the mounting surface and rest on top of floor molding
(if applicable). Tighten handwheels TOWARD GATE
FRAME as tightly as possible. Each spindle adjusts
individually and may be extended to varying lengths to
allow for molding, uneven walls, etc.
7.
Close walk through door so it is aligned directly
above bottom gate rail. Pull out top spindle (a) on
the hinge side (h) until it touches mounting surface.
Tighten handwheel TOWARD GATE FRAME.
