When replacing the trigger mechanisms on a Portland or Dialysis Gates,

it is not necessary to remove the gate from the crib.

To remove the broken triggers from the crib, remove the two screws noted in the photo

below and the trigger mechanisms will fall out the bottom of the gate.

*On Springﬁ eld Cribs, Doernbecher II and Critical Care II Cribs, the top and bottom trigger

mechanisms are the same size.

*On the Doernbecher, Critical Care, Movesafe or Standard Cribs, the trigger mechanism on

top is shorter than the mechanism on the bottom

Fingertip Trigger Mechanism

Once the broken triggers have been removed from the gate, simply insert the ﬁ rst trigger

into the opening at the bottom making sure the red tip is facing upwards and the ﬁ ngertip

release mechanism is showing in the opening at the front of the gate. To push the top

trigger into position, then use an object such as a dowel rod to push it up into the top of the

gate into position. Insert the screw to hold the top trigger in place.

Next, insert the second trigger with the red tip facing downwards. Again be sure the

ﬁ ngertip mechanism is visible in the opening of the gate and not backwards. Insert the

screw to hold the bottom trigger in place. The repair is complete. Test the triggers to be

sure they retract and release properly by using the ﬁ ngetip mechanisms.
