What happens in this clip
Align the top and bottom mounting brackets on the second side with their respective pilot holes. Securely attach both brackets to the wall using the corded drill and the provided screws. These brackets are designed to allow the gate to 'click' or slide into place, so ensure they are oriented correctly for easy attachment and removal of the gate. Similar to the first side, tighten screws firmly but avoid over-tightening the plastic.
Goal: Securely attach the remaining mounting brackets to the wall.
