North States Top-Notch Pet Gate

Installation and Operating InstructionsHolding gate with locking bar (notched side up) towards you and away from the child, slide gate apart so the bumpers are touching the sides of the opening. You may have to lift locking pin to clear notches.Lift the locking bar up and insert the locking pin into the desired slot and push down on locking bar. This should put pressure on the four bumpers holding the gate in place. If it is still loose in the opening, move the locking pin to the next slot until you get a good solid fit in the opening. Do not force the locking bar down. This could put so much pressure on the bar that it could do damage to your opening, the gate, or both. The locking bar will have a slight bow. However, if the bow is large, ease off one slot, making sure it still has a good solid hold in the opening.Slide the locking clip over the end of the locking bar to lock the bars in place.To open the gate, slide the locking clip off the top bar and pull up on the locking bar; the memory lock feature will hold the locking pin in the slot for use again in the same opening. If you put the gate in a new opening, you will have to readjust the locking pin.Warning: If this gate is to be used with children.To prevent serious injury or death, securely install gate and use according to manufacturer's instructions.Never use with a child able to climb over or dislodge/open the gate.
