With the bottom bracket installed, position the gate temporarily in the opening to determine the placement for the top mounting bracket on the same side. Ensure the gate is level and at the correct height. Mark the pilot hole locations for the top bracket with a pencil, then drill the pilot holes using the corded drill. Screw the top mounting bracket into place, similar to the bottom one, but leave the screws slightly loose for now to allow for final adjustments.
