FAQs:

Do I need to use the mounting cups that are included in the hardware package?
The mounting cups should be used to ensure the safety and security of the gate.

Can I get replacement parts for my gate?
Most components will be included in a prepackaged hardware set and may not be sold separately. Any Baby Gate Replacement Parts that are offered can be ordered directly on our website by using the search feature to search with the 4-digit model number (or name) of the product. All available replacement parts will show in the results. If you do not see the component that you are looking for, that means it is not something available for ordering or may be for a discontinued gate.

Can I use my pressure-mounted gate at the top of my stairs?
Model 8619/8625 should never be used as the top of a stairway when secured only by tension as a pressure-mounted gate. Model 8619/8625 can be used at the top of the stairs when properly installed as a hardware-mounted gate using the included hardware pieces. This will require drilling holes into the solid mounting surface. 

Why does my gate no longer stay tight where it is mounted?
The gate will stop holding tension if the 2 panels are slid open too widely prior to locking the handle down. When the locking handle is rotated into the locked position, the panels will bump out to create the tension needed for a tight fit. If the gate has been set into the space a little too tightly, there is nowhere for that tension to go and it will result in the plastic handle/rear slide to crack or wear out. This can cause the gate to not hold pressure or could cause the handle or rear slide to completely break altogether. It is best to set the gate into the space with the rubber bumpers lightly brushing the surface and then rotate the handle down to the first notch.

If the rear slide or plastic has been worn, replacement pieces can be ordered directly on the North States website by searching with the model number of your gate.

How do I get the hardware out from between the panels of my gate?
The hardware pieces are packed between the panels to keep the cost of the gate low. The best way to remove the hardware components that were packed between the panels is to lay the gate on a flat surface, such as the floor. Extend the top panel out as much as you can. You may need to use your fingers through the holes to move the hardware into a position that will allow you to extend the top panel. The plastic webbing is somewhat flexible permitting you to either lift on the top webbing or push down on the lower webbing to create somewhat of an “air pocket”, allowing the pieces to slide towards the frame of the gate. Once there, you can slide them out.

Do you make an adapter that will let me mount my hardware-mounted gate as a pressure-mounted gate so I do not have to drill holes in my wall?
We do not manufacture an adapter to alter the way our hardware mounted gates install. All of our hardware mounted gates must be attached directly to a solid surface such as a wooden stud. This will require drilling holes into the surface.

Can I use wall anchors to install my gate into drywall?
Our hardware mounted gates should not be installed using anchors. Because drywall anchors have a maximum limit as to how much weight they can withstand, it cannot be guaranteed that the gate will not dislodge and pull from the wall when mounted with an anchor, which could lead to damage or injury. Hardware mounted gates require a solid surface, such as a wooden stud, to be properly installed.
