Carlson Extra Tall Walk-Through Gate 0942 Before Assembly 

PLEASE CHECK TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE FOLLOWING PARTS:

1. Gate Frame (1)
2. Wall Cups (4)
3. Screws (4) (requires a Phillips/cross-head screwdriver)
4. Threaded Spindle Rods (4)

Extensions List

NOTE: When installing any gate at its maximum width, use wall cups to ensure stability and safety.

Assembling and Installing Your Gate

NOTE: You will notice a slight gap between the gate door latch and the frame. This is not a defect. Your gate is a pressure mounted gate and this gap will disappear once you tighten your gate in its opening.

• STEP 1
  Locate the (4) threaded spindle rods. Rotate the adjustment wheels  along the threading, eliminating  the gap between the adjustment wheel and the rubber foot.

  

• STEP 2
  Insert the (4) threaded spindle rods into the holes at each of the four corners of the gate.
  NOTE: The ends of the gate frame are not threaded. The threaded spindle rods should slide into the end of the frame tubes without any resistance.

  

• STEP 3
  Position the gate so that it is level and centered within your doorway or opening. Rotate the adjustment wheels on the threaded spindle rods in the opposite direction as in STEP 1, expanding the gap between the rubber foot and the adjustment wheel. Expand each of the (4) threaded spindle rods until they make contact with the doorway or opening. Do not fully tighten the threaded spindle rods yet.
  NOTE: It may be necessary to hold the threaded spindle rods or rubber feet while rotating the adjustment wheels to ensure the entire unit does not rotate.

  

• STEP 4
  When you are satisfied with the general placement of your gate, fully tighten the threaded spindle rods attached to the lower corners of the gate by further rotating the adjustment wheels. Continue by tightening the upper threaded spindle rods. As you tighten the upper threaded spindle rods, you will notice the gap between the door frame and the easy open latch begin to narrow.
  In order for the gate to function properly, stop tightening the upper threaded spindle rods just before the inner wall of the locking latch and the gate frame touch.

  

  NOTE: There should be equal spacing among each of the (4) threaded spindle rods. Make the appropriate adjustment to ensure you have installed your gate safely.

Positioning and Attaching the Wall Cups

Your gate is a pressure mounted gate. Therefore, it is not necessary to use the screw attached wall cups in your door opening if you choose not to. However, if you are using the gate at the top of the stairs you must use the wall cups. Using the wall cups will affix your gate more firmly in the doorway or opening.

1. STEP 1
   After you have mounted your gate, and you are satisfied with its positioning, draw a circle on the surface of your doorway or opening around the perimeter of the (4) rubber feet.

   

2. STEP 2
   Next, completely remove the gate from the opening by loosening each of the (4) threaded spindle rods to depressurize the gate.

3. STEP 3
   With the gate fully removed, you can now use the circles you marked during STEP 1 as guides for screwing in your (4) wall cups. Center each of the wall cups within the guide circles and use the provided self-tapping screws to fasten them in place via the hole through the center of each wall cup.

   

4. STEP 4
   Reinstall your gate in the doorway or opening according to the instructions, using the newly installed wall cups as anchoring points for the (4) threaded spindle rods.

   

Operating the Door Latch

• STEP 1
  Pull the spring lock away from the easy open latch while simultaneously lifting the lock lever upwards. This will release the locking latch from the gate frame and allow the door to push or pull open.

  

• STEP 2
  To lock the door shut, close the door completely, then push down on the lock lever to re-engage the spring lock.
  NOTE: If your easy open latch is not properly engaging with the receiving component, ensure that your gate is leve

Adding a Gate Extension

• STEP 1
  Choose the side of the gate to be extended and remove the top and bottom threaded spindle rods.
• STEP 2
  Assemble the gate and extension as illustrated. Reposition the gate and fit in accordance withthe gate fitting instruc tions.

REMOVING YOUR GATE FROM THE WALL

To remove your gate from the wall, rotate the adjustment wheels on each of the (4) threaded spindle rods to depressurize the gate from its doorway or opening. Then, gently pull or push the gate free from its doorway or opening.
