Important Information
There is a gap between your gate frame and handle. This is not a defect. The gap on your gate will close once it

is properly mounted. Please check the gate on a regular basis to ensure gate and parts are all in proper working
order. If the gate is used at the bottom of the stairs, please place towards the front of the lowest stair. Ensure gate is
attached between two clean structurally sound surfaces. Ensure appropriate hardware is used when mounting in
solid materials such as wood or metal.

• Children have died or been seriously injured when gates are not securely installed. ALWAYS
install and use gates as directed using all required parts.
