Troubleshooting

Gate is wobbly or unstable

Ensure all pressure-fit screws are tightened evenly. Check that the mounting surfaces are clean and level. Use wall cups if provided for softer surfaces.

Cat flap is stuck or difficult to lock/unlock

Check the cat flap for any obstructions or debris. Ensure the locking mechanism is aligned correctly and try to gently clear any blockages.

Gate won't open or close smoothly

Inspect the hinges and locking mechanisms for dirt or damage. Clean with a damp cloth and ensure no parts are bent or misaligned.

One-handed operation is difficult

Ensure the gate is properly aligned and not binding against the frame. Check that the locking mechanism is fully disengaged before attempting to open.
