Once the gate is securely installed and pressure-mounted, perform a final and thorough check of its stability. Gently push and pull on the gate from various angles to ensure there is no excessive wobble or movement. Next, test the gate's opening and closing mechanism. Typically, this involves a two-step process: pressing a safety button or sliding a tab, and then lifting the gate handle to release the latch, allowing the gate to swing open. To close the gate, simply push the gate door firmly until the latch engages with an audible click, confirming it is securely locked.
