What happens if you have molding on the groud where you want to install this product? I can't go over the molding, not enough height!

I used extra molding vertically on the wall so it was flush and screwed right through it into the stud

Purchase a set of Dreambaby Retractable Gate Spacers (was 9.99 from baby haven through Amazon). Use the longer curved unit for the top of the gate installation. At bottom, Lascal Gate Body will lay flush against existing molding, and top of gate unit will attach to wall through the spacer. The Lascal gate has two installation clips included, one for top, one for bottom. Screw bottom clip into existing baseboard molding. The top clip will fit between the Lascal Gate Body and the spacer unit. You will have to drill out the plastic holes on the gate spacer by just a hair to allow for proper alignment of the upper gate clip and the spacer holes. Pay attention to layout of proper clip height from top to bottom. Start with bottom clip positioned on or near floor height-test install with clips pushed into receivers on Lascal Gate Body and mark hole positions from the side with a pencil. If wall is sheetrock behind the spacer, use toggle bolts (ITW Brands "Toggle Lock 100lbs" work best, buy at Home Depot or online and follow installation instructions carefully. If wall is solid (wood stud) just screw in with screws that will reach through clip, spacer (3/4"), and sheetrock (usually 1/2"), and still bite into the stud at least 1/2". If wall is concrete block hire a handyman. Pay attention to install instructions from Lascal as well. This method will take 30 min to 1 hr depending on your comfort with this sort of thing. If not comfortable, get a handyman but provide these materials for a proper job. The toggle bolts I mentioned will hold up well if installed correctly following their special instructions.

Brett, Im not sure, however, if I had to guess I would say you will need a riser. I would suggest you investigate it some more.

Thanks SirBrad... I was having problems extending the bottom as well. Your suggestion helped me a lot. It's a pity they didn't specify this in the instructions.

It depends on the molding. A small under cabinet molding should be okay. However, anything that is more than a couple inches tall and is not mostly horizontal is going to make the mount unstable.

I didn't have a problem because my door frame was slightly inset from the wall. The molding fit fine upon reinstall.

No, because the plastic part at the top actually hooks over the molding and secures in that space between the molding and the wall. My suggestion would be to get one of those pullup bars that screw into each side of the doorway. I would not recommend this product.

Sorry, no, you measure the height you want and install. Once installed the height is constant.Nelson

i think you have it "backwards". Just gently un-bolt the sides and swap them. That should do it!

I have the same problem with my baseboard. You can still mount it because the pieces on top can be adjusted. It just won't sit flush with the wall.

I understand exactly what you're talking about. I had that same problem. Try to do it BEFORE you mount it on the wall. In other words. play around with it a little and see if you can do it WITHOUT mounting first. I just checked mine and it is sitting perfectly, but it can be a pain to get it right. It WILL fit, but it will try your patience first.

Sorry can't help. Don't have a tall enough ladder to reach it right now. Someone else installed it for me. Absolutely love it!!!

I had the same problem... It doesn't work really well. You can see a small space with a screw. Go there with something really small... You need to be really carefull... For me it worked

Yes. It will not safely mount without molding. As Ben answered you could attach something to simulate molding, but you better make sure it is securely nailed or screwed into the studs or frame. Also you would need to verify that the width of your new 'faux-molding' to make sure that it is close to standard molding widths.

As long as there is moulding on one side it'll work, if there is no moulding on either side the product will just slide down and will not work.

Sorry, I can't help. I haven't even used the extra height that comes with the unit. Thanks, Bob

Not really. I was disappointed with this product. It was not what I thought. The height is much less than expected and was a royal pain to put in the ground. After all of the money I spent and work...for me, unless I used it for a short border, I would not waste my money. The best to you.

Just drill new holes or expand the existing ones. I had a similar problem. It takes about two minutes with a drill and proper bit. Save yourself the money. Good luck. This was a good quality product if you decide to buy it. Mine is mounted in a way I cannot measure, sorry.
