Once the gate is securely installed, test its functionality. The gate latch typically requires a two-step action (e.g., pushing a button and lifting) to open, ensuring child safety. Let the gate swing open and then release it to confirm it automatically closes and latches properly. Adjust the tension bolts further if any looseness is detected or if the latch is not operating smoothly.
