The Safety 1st Easy-Fit Security Gate is equipped with a memory function that makes installing and removing from the same doorway simple. No hardware is required to install the Safety 1st gate, and it comes preassembled for openings between 28 and 42 inches wide. The gate ensures children or pets remain in the room or out of an area that is unsafe.
Instructions
1. Fold the safety gate to the fully condensed position (shortest width). The Safety 1st gate typically comes preassembled in this position. If it is not condensed, lay the gate on its end so that the handle is at the top and press the handle into the gate while pushing down on the top gate panel. The gate will slide down into the condensed position.
2. Turn the handle to the left so that it is positioned vertically in the unlocked position.
3. Set the gate inside the doorway so that the handle and locking mechanism face away from the child. The bottom of the gate should touch the floor.
4. Slide the gate panels out so that the rubber bumpers on the gate sides touch both sides of the doorway and the gate fits snugly in place.
5. Rotate the handle clockwise to lock it into place (lies horizontally). Lock the handle into the slot on the gate panel.
6. Pull up on the gate handle to make sure it is locked securely into the slot.
7. Tug back and forth on the top and bottom of the gate to make sure is securely in place and cannot be pushed out.
8. Push the handle down and then out and move it up to the unlock position to remove the gate from the doorway. Shift panels back until bumpers no longer contact the door frame before pulling out of place.
Using the Memory Feature
9. Slide the handle of the fully installed gate to the two o'clock position. This enables the gate to move from the door frame just enough to allow you to remove it. The panels will not slide freely.
10. Replace the gate into the doorway and move the handle to the locked position.
11. Check the fit by tugging on the top and bottom of the gate to ensure it is in place and can't be pushed out.
