When you install this screen, make sure that it is firm enough so that your child does not push or lean against it.
You can get a fireplace screen and place it just in front of the gas wall heater. If you decide to place the gate close to the heater, ensure that it is at least an arm’s length away to prevent probing fingers from reaching through the slats or mesh. Ensure you can secure it to prevent your child from knocking it over or moving it. You can go to a baby store near you and get a baby gate. Other Things to Do to Childproof Your Gas Wall Heater When you are done, you can now continue using the gas wall heater without any worries of it being an issue to your kids. You can use the other 9/16 inch screws or the ones that came with your hearth gate to screw the mounts properly against the wall. Depending on the specific hearth gate you have, the mounts may have a space for two to four screw holes. Ensure you screw down tightly so the screw heads are level with the screen’s surface.Īfter you are done with the two steps, it is now time to set up a hearth gate around the gas wall heater in a way that the mounts will be touching the wall.
Get a screwdriver and use it to screw 9/16 inch screws through the screen onto the holes you had created.
Line up the screen over the grate and ensure that the edges do match properly with the grate. Next, use tin snips to cut out an equal-sized screen. The next thing is to measure the length and width of the wall heater grate using a tape measure. The holes you create during this step should be smaller than the diameter of the screws you plan to use. The first thing you need to do is turn off the gas wall heater then drill a 1/8 inch hole through the gas wall heater encasement with one hole around each grate.
