If the zip ties were cut before installation, the gate frame may become loose and appear bent.

This is not a product defect.

How to Fix It

  • Method 1: Secure the frame again using strong zip ties.
  • Method 2: Wrap the frame tightly with strong tape or durable string.

Please wrap multiple times to ensure the tape or string does not loosen or break.
