Mount Gate Assembly Brackets

What happens in this clip

Measure the exact distance from the edge of the wall to where the lower gate mount will start. Repeat this measurement for the top. Attach the lower gate mount directly into the baseboard using a drill to drive the screws. To find the exact placement for the upper gate mount, install the gate assembly into the lower mount, attach the upper gate mount to the upper portion of the gate assembly, level it against the wall, and mark its position with a pencil. Then, pre-drill holes and install wall anchors (plugs). Finally, secure the upper mount, using a wall spacer to ensure it is level with the lower mount.

Goal: Securely attach the upper and lower gate mounts on the left side of the opening, ensuring they are level.

About the full video

This video provides step-by-step instructions for installing an EasyBaby retractable safety gate at the edge of a staircase, addressing considerations for installation distance, and demonstrating how to customize the installation for unique banister configurations using wooden spacers.

Step 1 of 6: Determine Gate Placement

Before drilling, decide on the precise mounting points. For the wall side, hold the gate at the desired height and mark the screw hole locations. For the banister side, use the banister mounting kit's template or the gate's hardware as a guide to mark the attachment points, taking into account any angled surfaces or required spacing for the mounting kit.
