Why do the top pressure mount move when i push on the gate? The rubber doesn't seem to hold?

I've had this gate installed for about 4 years with my twins and have never had a problem. You may have to tighten the bolts from time to time but that should be about it. I love mine, even years later!

In our case, it was helpful for one person to pull the sides toward each other and the other to extend the pressure mounts out another 1/4 to 1/2 inch each, then release them, creating a much tighter fit. However, we did have to repeat this process occasionally. Ultimately, we ended up getting different gates that mounted directly to the wall on either side. Easier to walk through, less liklihood of tripping, and more secure.

You are probably trying to mount it on circular surface. I have had mine for 4 years now and I have to make sure to tighten it evenly on both side. The top will move if you have the bottom rubber too tight. You need to make sure all 4 sides are evenly tightened. Hope that helps.

If you don't have a flat surface or you don't have the tension tight enough the gate will move. I pull the gate away from the wall with one hand and will pull out the tensioner as much as possible and tighten the nut as much as possible before relaxing the gate to get more pressure. When you have the right pressure it will not move.

This is a pressure gate. There are rubber stopper things on each side of the gate and you use a small tool (included) to tighten it on each end. They are EXTREMELY sturdy. I have three of them - and one is at the top of my stairway so it is used multiple times every day and has never moved or loosened. Couldn't get a better gate. They are pretty attractive too.P.S. I'm not sure why other people are answering this question. I think you are mistaken. They do NOT nail or screw or mount into the walls. Perhaps you are looking at the wrong gate.

The key is the tension. Too loose and the gate doesn't quite lock, too tight and it's hard to open/close. Remember that you have to lift it once you unlock it, and if the lifting action is where the problem is maybe a little WD40 can solve the issue.

Guess there must be some problem with your model as mine does not do that. It stays locked in to position. I have to unlock it.

Straitening the entire length of your gate should fix your problem. Works for me.

That's not normal. I just went and pressed firmly down on mine (more than 15lbs would do) and it held its position.

Hi Patricia, Apply pressure to the top (press down firmly and at the same time unlatch). That should do it! Patrick

There nuts under some caps where it hinges. Tighten those , you should be able to tighten it to the point where it is hard to move.

Just takes a little force. Make sure all sides are lined up then it should seat with some pressure. I also thought it went in a little hard but it did go with more force. Good luck. I really like my unit and I think you will too.

It sounds like it is in a locked position. Twist the top stem part, until it releases, and is able to push down.

No problem with wind only friends pushing the gate to squeeze by. I put an electronic latch on and have had no more problems. As of this date I am still very satisfied with the setup.

I think you need to reset the device and let it re-adjust itself to the door weight - it does it on the first few opening-closing sequences. I do not remember from top of my head how to do it, but it is in the manual.

I love the mount and it can be very secure. You may have to press down hard on the turned down end of the rail to disengage the rail, and then pull the unit away along the rail.Cheers, Tom

Tighten both sides more so that the locking mechanism holds. If it is too loose, then the gate won't lock into place and hold.

You might have it too tight dont adjust too much after the indicator turns green. Then to open you must pull the lever and lift the gate. But the indicator must be green for it to work properly.

What I do is adjust the gate to fit, then when I want to move it I just pick it up and turn around to put it back in place. Hope this helps - it is a sturdy gate.

It just means you don't have it in tight enough. Keep adjusting the pressure parts to and eventually the gate will latch. It's harder than you would think it should be
