Basic Security Gate – Installation Instructions

1. Position the Gate

   
   

   Place the gate in the desired position. Keep the gate closed while starting the installation.

2. Fix the Bottom Hinge

   
   

   Using a concrete drill bit, drill through the bottom hinge lug into the brick wall. Insert the wall plug and tighten the coach screw.

3. Level the Gate

   
   

   Place a spirit level on the front of the gate. Adjust the gate until it is perfectly level.

4. Fix the Top Hinge

   
   

   While holding the gate level, drill through the top hinge lug into the wall. Insert the wall plug and tighten the coach screw.

5. Check the Gate Position

   
   

   Close the gate and make sure it closes correctly against the closure post, with no large gap.

6. Fix the Bottom Closure Lug

   
   

   With the gate still closed, drill through the bottom lug and into the wall. Insert the wall plug and tighten the coach screw.

7. Fix the Top Closure Lug

   
   

   Drill through the top lug into the wall. Insert the wall plug and tighten the coach screw.

8. Fix the Middle Lugs

   
   

   Drill and fasten any remaining middle lugs using the same method.

9. Final Check

   
   

   Open and close the gate several times. Check that the gate swings freely, closes properly and that all screws are tight.
