The Cardinal Gates PG22 is a pressure-mounted gate, requiring no drilling. Follow these steps for proper installation:

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Позиционирајте ја портата: Place the gate in the desired opening. Ensure the bottom bar is flush with the floor and the gate is centered.
4. 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).
