The steps below cover best practices for dock placement. ### Step 1: Leave Enough Clearance on Each Side The dock should be placed against a wall, with enough open space on either side for Matic to approach and pull away freely. Avoid placing the dock directly in a corner or up against furniture or other objects on either side. ### Step 2: Keep the Dock Away from Stairs Place the dock at least 3 feet away from stairs to prevent accidental falls. ### Step 3: Check for Overhead Clearance Avoid placing the dock under furniture or shelving that gives Matic less than 3 inches of clearance above it. ![Dock Placement Graphic](https://support.maticrobots.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Dock%20Placement%20Graphic.png?width=458&height=458&name=Dock%20Placement%20Graphic.png)   **Need more help?** If you have any questions or need further assistance, please **submit a ticket in the Matic app (Settings \> Support \> Contact Us).** Thank you for being a valued part of the Matic community! - [Product Care](https://support.maticrobots.com/product-care?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Care and Maintenance](https://support.maticrobots.com/product-care?hsLang=en#care-and-maintenance) - [Fixing Common Issues](https://support.maticrobots.com/fixing-common-issues?hsLang=en#main-content) - [How to Resolve Error Messages](https://support.maticrobots.com/fixing-common-issues?hsLang=en#how-to-resolve-error-messages) - [Behavioral Issues](https://support.maticrobots.com/fixing-common-issues?hsLang=en#behavioral-issues) - [Hardware Issues](https://support.maticrobots.com/fixing-common-issues?hsLang=en#hardware-issues) - [Troubleshooting Videos](https://support.maticrobots.com/fixing-common-issues?hsLang=en#troubleshooting-videos) - [Using the App](https://support.maticrobots.com/using-the-app?hsLang=en) - [Repairs and Returns](https://support.maticrobots.com/repairs-and-returns?hsLang=en) - [FAQs](https://support.maticrobots.com/faqs?hsLang=en) - [Order Tracking](https://support.maticrobots.com/order-tracking?hsLang=en) - [Contact Us](https://support.maticrobots.com/contact-us?hsLang=en) maticrobots.com Help Center Copyright © 2026, Matic
