Now, align the lower gate mount with the drilled holes on the main gate side of the opening. If there is a baseboard or trim creating a gap between the mount and the wall, use the wall spacers to fill this gap. Make sure the width of the wall spacers matches the width of your trim for a flush fit. Once correctly positioned, use your screwdriver to fasten the 1-inch screws through the mount and into the wall (and anchors if applicable). Repeat this process for the upper gate mount, ensuring it's vertically aligned with the lower mount.
