Parts List

• 6 - Phillips Head Screws (1 1/2")

Tools Required

• Electric Drill
• 1/8" Drill Bit
• Phillips Head Screwdriver

To Mount Wall Brackets
To determine the top of the Bracket, look at the front side: the three keyhole-shaped holes should have the larger opening pointed toward the ceiling and the narrow slot should point towards the floor.

Place one bracket against the doorframe with the bottom of the bracket resting on the floor. Close the door if there is one. Do not position Wall Bracket on the door stop molding if there is any. Mark the locations of the three mounting-screw holes through the Bracket onto the doorframe. Repeat process with the second Bracket on the opposite side of doorway.

Using a drill with a 1/8" diameter drill bit, drill each marked screw hole about 1 1/4" deep straight into the wooden doorframe.

To mount the Bracket, insert a 1 1/2" long Phillips head screw through Bracket into each of the holes, turning the screws in part way. Make sure the Bracket is properly aligned, and then tighten all screws securely. Repeat this process with second Bracket.

Notice: Certain installations (other than the intended wood frame doorway mount above) will require use of different fasteners. This might include uneven surfaces, such as concrete, steel, or aluminum. The manufacturer does not recommend fastening gate to drywall only. Since the intended use of this product requires that the Wall Brackets must touch floor, it is suggested you get professional advice from a local contractor, hardware, or home improvement store when choosing alternate fasteners.

To Attach Case to Wall Brackets
Hold Case upright, with winding knob on top and with the three studs towards the Wall Bracket. Insert the bottom stud into the bottom slot of Bracket first; then insert the middle and top studs into the corresponding slots of Bracket. Push the case downward about 1/4" so that it is firmly fastened into Bracket.

To Detach Case from Wall Bracket
Lift case straight upward about 1/4". Tilt upper end of case slightly away from the top of Bracket so that top, middle, and bottom studs will come free from Bracket.

To Extend Gate Across Doorway
The Gate is equipped with a ratchet release lever at the top of the Case. The ratchet release lever must be in unlocked position to allow mesh to be unrolled across doorway opening.

If release lever does not easily move to unlocked position, it means the gear teeth are engaged. To disengage the gears, it is necessary to wind the top knob clockwise just a little while putting a little finger pressure on the ratchet release lever. The lever will move to the unlocked position, and you will feel the gears disengage.

Pull the carrier bar and mesh across the opening as far as needed to reach the opposite Wall Bracket. Hold the carrier bar near the top, and insert bottom stud into bottom slot in Bracket first; then insert middle and top studs into corresponding slots in Bracket. Push carrier bar downward about 1/4" so that it is firmly attached to Bracket.

To Lock and Tighten the Gate
Once carrier bar is inserted into the Bracket, move ratchet release lever into locked position. Turn winding knob (on top of housing) clockwise to increase tension until gate is tight. You will hear the ratchet gear teeth click as you turn the knob.

To Unlock, Open, and Rewind Gate into Case
It will first be necessary to unlock the ratchet release lever located at top of case. But, the ratchet gear teeth are engaged and must be released first. To disengage the gears, it is necessary to wind the top knob clockwise just a little while putting a little finger pressure on the ratchet release lever. The lever will move to the unlocked position, and you will feel the gears disengage.

Lift the carrier bar upward about 1/4" and tilt the top slightly away from the Bracket so that top, middle, and bottom studs will come free from Bracket.

Wind the top knob clockwise to retract the mesh gate into the case. For additional safety, the manufacturer recommends that the carrier bar be wrapped around the side of the case so that the studs can be inserted into the three slots in the side of the case.

Multiple Gate Locations
Extra sets of Wall Brackets can be purchased. By installing a second set of Wall Brackets in a different doorway, or at bottom of stairs, or across a hallway, etc. the Gate can easily be relocated in seconds. This all allow limited movement of toddlers or pets in different areas of your home at different times of the day. One Gate can be used at a toddler's own home and can also be taken and used at the grandparents' house, if a second set of Wall Brackets has been installed there.

Please Note
For your child's safety, the Retractable Anywhere Baby Gate has a double-acting rewind gear safety latch.

Two steps are required before the mesh can be unwound and made longer.

1. You must tighten the mesh slightly (turn the rewind knob clockwise about 1/8 turn)
2. Continue to hold the rewind knob before sliding release latch lever toward the right (unlock) position.

Please Be Advised: Failure to tighten and maintain mesh tension before attempting to move the release latch lever may damage the locking mechanism and void warranty.

Warning:

• Never leave an infant or toddler unattended.
• Inspect original package for evidence of damage in shipping.
• Do not use if damaged or missing parts
• Always mount gate with bottom edge at floor level to reduce possibility of a child or pet squeezing underneath.
• Make certain ratchet is engaged for final tightening.
• Tighten gate to reduce chance of child lifting carrier bar free. Always tighten gate to reduce chance of child or pet squeezing underneath.
• Gate is safer if used at bottom of stairs rather at the top.
• Gate must not be modified or used other than as directed.
• Screws for wall brackets should always be inserted into the studs in the wall.
• Do not allow children or pets to hang-on or climb over gate.
• Dispose of packaging properly. Do not allow children to play with plastic bag as it may cause suffocation.
