Step 6 · Final Safety Check

Gently push and pull on the gate at various points, especially near the top and bottom, to check for any signs of looseness or instability. Ensure all screws and mounting hardware are tight. Operate the latch several times and confirm it engages reliably. Make sure there are no gaps between the gate and the wall/banister that a child could squeeze through or get a limb caught in.
