Installation

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, 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 1¾”
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.

5

Installation

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.

Operation

10. To Open Gate.

Release locking mechanism by pressing button (r)
in while lifting handle. BUTTON MUST ALWAYS BE

PRESSED IN WHEN LIFTING HANDLE. Lift walk

through door so hinge is raised and door will swing
open in either direction.

To Close Gate.

Lift walk through door. Position locator (l) until it is
above the bottom rail. Make sure hinge has dropped
down. Push handle down to lock.

Gate should always be in locked position when in
use.

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.

11. Installation aid

KidCo has available OPTIONAL Y spindles (Model GY-1

Spindle) to assist in installation when the
mounting surface has a round baluster. These spindles
are used in place of the spindles included with the basic
gate. They may be ordered through your local KidCo
dealer or direct from KidCo.

No more than 2 Y spindles may be used per gate
and both must be used on the same side.
