Operation
6. Pull out the two bottom spindles (s) until they touch
mounting surface and rest on top of floor molding (if
applicable). Tighten nuts
TOWARD GATE FRAME as
tightly as possible using wrench (g) provided. Each
spindle adjusts individually and may be extended to
varying lengths to allow for molding, uneven walls, etc.
7. Close walk through door so locator (l) is aligned
directly above bottom gate rail. Do not lower handle.
Pull out the top spindle (b) on the hinge side (m) until it
touches the mounting surface. Tighten nut
TOWARD
GATE FRAME until locator drops and rests on bottom
gate rail.
8. Pull out spindle (b) in the handle side until it touches
mounting surface and tighten nut
TOWARD GATE
FRAME so the distance between pressure plate o) and
pressure hinge (area A) is sufficient for walk through
door to open in either direction.
9. Close the handle and check all hardware.
If correctly installed, gate should be firmly in place.
Once opened, the walk through door should operate
easily in either direction.
A pressure indicator (d) has been included as an
additional safeguard. Lift handle (n) and locate groove
on underside. Return handle to closed position and
place indicator hook under groove. Push in button
(r) while pulling pressure indicator up. Black gauge
within indicator will start moving down. Recommended
pressure is between 3 and 5. If gauge is more than 5,
loosen nut on handle spindle (b). If less than 3, tighten
handle spindle nut.
If unable to obtain recommended pressure, it is
important to know that gate is not defective. Gate
requires a strong, rigid surface to maintain pressure.
It may be necessary to consult a hardware store or
baby proofer to find a solution for safe installation.
