Mount the Gate into Brackets

What happens in this clip

With all four wall brackets securely installed (bottom and top on both sides), carefully lift the dog barrier gate. First, guide the bottom adjustable tension bolts into the lower wall brackets, ensuring they are properly seated. Then, while holding the gate slightly angled or compressing the top spring-loaded plungers, align the top adjustable tension bolts with the upper wall brackets. Gently push the gate into place until all four tension bolts are seated within their respective wall brackets. The spring-loaded mechanism in the top brackets should snap into place, holding the gate securely.

Goal: Physically place the gate into its wall-mounted brackets.

About the full video

This project provides detailed assembly instructions for a Savic dog barrier gate, designed for both indoor and outdoor use. The process guides users through unpacking and verifying components, measuring the installation opening, assembling and setting the gate's width, installing wall-mounted brackets, and finally mounting and fine-tuning the gate for secure and reliable operation.

Step 5 of 6: Attach Gate to Brackets

Carefully lift the baby gate and align its corresponding mounting points with the installed brackets. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for your specific gate model to attach it to the brackets. This may involve sliding the gate onto posts, clicking it into place, or using additional fasteners. Ensure the gate is securely attached and does not wobble.
