Product Information

Some stair gates also come with a small door inset into the gate, to let a smaller pet through while keeping large people and dogs out.

Ensure that the gate opens towards the landing, not outwards towards the stairs, or you could fall forward while opening it. Our tester really rated this stair gate and scored it the highest out of all the others. The gate was tested in her busy family home and placed a 'high traffic' area of the house for six weeks, where it was opened or closed at least 40 times a day. During the testing period, she found it be really secure and stable in that environment. Both, if possible. Stair gates should be used to close off dangerous spaces. It’s best to use screw-fit stair gates at the top of the stairs where possible. Are pressure-fit stair gates safe? Although the Safety 1st SecureTech Flat Step Safety Gate is the only pressure-fit gate that claims to be able to be used at the top of a staircase, we still think it’s preferable to use a screw-fit, wall-mounted gate wherever possible. This leaves far less room for error and, once the gate is installed correctly, it won’t shift even if your child pulls on it. There’s also no ground bar to cause a trip hazard.

Keep curious crawlers safe.

Pressure-fit and retractable stair gates are not a good option for the top of stairs because their design incurs a trip hazard and they are not as sturdy. Day-to-day use: Does the gate do the job it’s supposed to? Does it withstand a toddler’s weight? Is it easy to open and close with one hand? Within these two categories, there are a few other features that can form part of the identity of a stair gate. For example:Screw-fit stair gates, as the name suggests, require some drilling and screwing to securely attach them to the wall, staircase or door frame. This pressure fit safety gate fits openings of 76 cm to 82 cm. There are no extensions compatible with this safety gate. It is important that you measure the opening of where you want to install your safety gate correctly. Always measure from the narrowest point, typically skirting to skirting.
