Locking mechanism is stiff or difficult to use
Check for any obstructions or debris in the locking mechanism. Gently operate the handle back and forth to loosen it. Ensure the gate is properly aligned within the opening.
Gate does not fit the opening
Double-check the width of your opening. If it is within the 97cm-103cm range, re-adjust the pressure knobs. If the opening is wider than 103cm, you will need to purchase and install optional extensions.
Scuff marks on walls from pressure knobs
While the pressure-fit design aims to avoid damage, some minor marks may occur. Consider using wall protector cups (sold separately) designed for pressure-fit gates if this is a concern.
