   With the custom bracket securely mounted, it's time to install your safety gate. The design of the bracket allows the gate to slide in from underneath. To install, slightly tilt the gate and guide the threaded rod of its mounting pad into the slot of the bracket. Once the rod is in the slot, the mounting pad will settle into the routed recess. The bayonet-style design prevents the gate from being pushed forward or pulled back. You still have access to the tension screw on the gate's rod, allowing you to adjust the tension for a perfect and very secure fit.
