Do you have a question about the Safetots ST-CWSF and is the answer not in the manual?

The SafeTots Chunky Wooden Screw Fit Gate (Model: ST-CWSF) is a safety barrier designed to prevent children from accessing certain areas of a home, particularly stairs. It is a screw-fit gate, meaning it is permanently installed into the wall or door frame, offering a secure and robust barrier.

Function Description:

The primary function of this gate is to restrict access for children, especially those between 6 and 24 months of age, to areas that may pose a hazard, such as staircases. It is designed to be installed in a strong and secure opening, ensuring stability and safety. The gate operates with a manual closing system, requiring the user to physically close and secure it after passing through. It is not an auto-close gate. The gate's design allows for installation in various opening widths, making it adaptable to different household layouts. It features a simple locking mechanism that provides a visual indicator when the gate is correctly closed and secured.

Regular Checks: It is crucial to regularly check the gate for any signs of damage, wear, or loose parts. All components, especially the fixings, should be inspected periodically to ensure they remain secure and functional.
Lubrication: If the gate's mechanism becomes stiff, a silicone-based lubricant can be applied to the moving parts. Avoid using oil-based lubricants, solvents, or abrasive cleaners.
Replacement Parts: Additional gates, panels, and spare parts are available from the manufacturer, allowing for repairs or expansion if needed.
Installation Integrity: The integrity of the installation surfaces (walls, door frames) should also be checked periodically, as a secure installation is paramount to the gate's safety.
