Step 6 · Adjust and Test Gate Functionality
Most hardware-mounted gates have adjustment screws or mechanisms to ensure a tight fit against the frame or wall. Adjust these as needed so the gate is snug and does not have excessive play. Open and close the gate multiple times to ensure it operates smoothly. Test the latching mechanism to confirm it engages securely and cannot be easily opened by a child. Check that the gate does not rub against the wall or banister in a way that would impede its function or cause damage.
