Quick Answer
To install an Arched Decor extension, first ensure it matches your gate model, then attach it using the provided hardware, aligning the locking mechanism for a secure fit.
Why Use an Arched Decor Extension?
The Arched Decor 6-inch extension (Model #1076BR) is designed to widen your existing Regalo gate, such as the Arched Decor Safety Gate (Model #0370 BR) or the Home Accents Super Wide Safety Gate (Model #0390 BR). This lets you safely block larger openings without buying a whole new gate.
The extension is available in a bronze finish to match the gate's decor style, so it blends in while providing a secure barrier.
Before You Start: Check Compatibility
Not all extensions fit every gate. The Arched Decor 6-inch extension is specifically compatible with Arched Decor and Home Accents Super Wide gate models. Verify your gate's model number on the product label or manual before purchasing.
If your gate is a different series (like Easy Step or Designer), this extension will not attach correctly. Measure your opening width to confirm you need exactly 6 inches of extra coverage.
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
- 1. Gather Your Tools and Parts: Unbox the extension and confirm you have all parts: the extension panel, mounting brackets, screws, and any included Allen wrench. You'll also need a screwdriver (Phillips or flathead, depending on your gate model). Missing hardware? Stop and contact Regalo support before proceeding.
- 2. Remove the Existing Gate from the Opening: Take down your Regalo gate by releasing the pressure mounts. Place it on a flat surface with the extension attachment points accessible. This makes it easier to align the extension without straining. Common mistake: Trying to attach the extension while the gate is mounted can misalign the brackets.
- 3. Attach the Extension to the Gate Frame: Line up the extension's mounting brackets with the pre-drilled holes on the side of your gate (usually on the non-hinge side). Insert the screws and tighten them firmly, but do not overtighten—this could strip the plastic or metal. Check that the extension sits flush against the gate edge before fully tightening.
- 4. Reinstall the Gate with the Extension Attached: Position the gate-plus-extension assembly back into the opening. Adjust the pressure mounts so the gate fits snugly. The extension should now bridge the gap between the gate and the opposite wall or door frame. If the gate wobbles, the extension may be misaligned. Loosen and reattach it.
- 5. Test the Locking Mechanism and Security: Close and lock the gate. Apply firm pressure to ensure the extension does not flex or detach. Open and close the gate several times to confirm smooth operation. A secure installation means no gaps large enough for a child's head or body to pass through.
