4. Водич за инсталација
The Cardinal Gates PG22 is a pressure-mounted gate, requiring no drilling. Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Подгответе го отворањето: Ensure the surface where the gate will be mounted is clean, dry, and structurally sound. The gate is designed for openings 29.5 to 32.5 inches wide.
- Insert Spindle Rods: Screw one threaded spindle rod into each of the four corners of the main gate frame. Do not tighten them fully yet.
- Позиционирајте ја портата: Place the gate in the desired opening. Ensure the bottom bar is flush with the floor and the gate is centered.
- Attach Wall Cups (Optional but Recommended): For added stability and wall protection, attach the included wall cups to the wall at the points where the spindle rods will make contact. These can be secured with adhesive pads or, for a more permanent fixture, with screws (not required for pressure mounting).

- Прилагодете го притисокот: Begin tightening the threaded spindle rods by rotating them clockwise. Tighten them evenly, alternating between top and bottom, and left and right, until the gate is firmly secured in the opening. The gate should feel stable and not easily pushed over. A small gap may be visible at the latch mechanism before full tightening; this gap will close as pressure is applied.
- Тест за безбедност: Once tightened, push and pull on the gate to ensure it is securely mounted and does not move. The gate door should open and close smoothly and latch securely.
