From How to Install a Baby Gate on Stairs with a Banister on One Side and a Wall on the Other, Step 5: Adjust and Test Latches
Once the gate is fully installed and tightened, test its functionality. Verify that it opens and closes smoothly. This particular gate demonstrates a spring-loaded mechanism that allows it to close and lock automatically once it passes a certain point. Also, test the safety latch, which typically requires a multi-step process (like sliding a button and lifting the gate) to prevent children or pets from opening it easily. Ensure it can open in both directions if designed to do so.
