Troubleshooting
Gate won't stay open
Ensure the gate is not angled less than 30 degrees. If it is, the 'hold-open' function may not engage. Check for any obstructions preventing it from staying open.
Large gap at the door lock before installation is complete
This is normal. Continue to tighten the adjusting screws on both sides until the gap measures approximately 2-3mm. This ensures a secure pressure fit.
Gate feels wobbly or loose
Retighten the adjusting screws on both sides of the gate. Ensure the wall protectors are correctly positioned and making firm contact with the wall or doorframe.
The automatic shut feature is not working
Verify that the gate is correctly installed and level. The automatic shut engages when the gate is pushed closed and the angle is less than 90 degrees. Check for any resistance or obstructions.
Small cat door is difficult for the cat to use
Ensure the cat door is not obstructed. Some cats may need time to adjust to using the small door.
