Pressure mounted gates are safe when used correctly. When installed properly, they create a secure barrier that helps prevent falls and other accidents. However, it is important to make sure that the gate is installed correctly and that it is the appropriate size for the space. Additionally, it is important to check the gate regularly to make sure that it is still secure.
Most parents would agree that safety is paramount when it comes to their children. A home should be a safe haven for kids to play and explore, without the worry of injury. But what about when it comes to the top of the stairs? Are retractable gates safe to use in this situation? The answer is a resounding yes! Retractable gates are an excellent way to keep kids safe at the top of the stairs, without sacrificing style or convenience. These gates are easy to install and can be opened and closed with one hand, making them ideal for busy parents. Plus
Yes, retractable stair gates are a good way to keep your child safe from falling down the stairs. They are easy to install and use, and they are much more durable than traditional gates.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the best way to block your toddler's steps will vary depending on your individual situation and what type of steps you are trying to block. However, some common methods for blocking toddler steps include using gates or other barriers to block access to stairways, using furniture to block access to dangerous areas, or using child-proof locks on doors and cabinets. If you are unsure of how to best block your toddler's steps, talk to your child's doctor or a child safety expert for more advice.

Despite not being for a baby, we have two baby gates. Instead, we utilize them to keep our young, heavy, or large dog from ascending the steps. I've used three different styles/sizes of baby gates, and they all PARTIALLY fit where I want them to, but not quite. I must be the only person on Earth with a staircase with an open wood railing on one side and a wall on the other to stop another mammal from climbing them. This situation has an absurdly small number of possibilities. Even the ones you drill into the wall don't have a nice option for what to do with the side that is a banister, which is why we really wanted to avoid having to do it because we had that type for our actual human infants. So you're left trying to adjust the tension settings on each end of the gate to get it just right—tight enough to keep standing, but loose enough to allow you to still open it. Additionally, the space above the floor board that we can fit it in due to the design of our stairs causes it to continually sit at an unsafe inclination.The only point of the stair landing where the gate could reach both walls after trying numerous places was a TINY one. However, even once we *finally* manage to secure it, all it takes is for one child to lean on it, another child to shut it too firmly, or the dog to spot the cats and use it as a prop to stand up and view more clearly for the entire thing to fall apart. I purchased these wall cups because the pressure from the gate end pieces was scratching and denting the wall and wood banister every time the gate would fall over. I had anticipated that these might provide a little more stability and assist to stop some of that wall damage. We also had a problem with the gates not actually fitting specific widths in a secure manner, despite their claims to do so. The ends must be untwisted all the way to the point of dropping out. The addition of these cups on one side only was JUST the proper size for the gate to hold, despite the fact that I MacGyvered the hell out of all the other conceivable combinations of the gate add on deleting certain sections of the pressure knobs. These gave it just the appropriate amount of extra length to fit in the opening I needed for the gate and also serve to secure it, preventing it from sliding around continually. It gives me great pleasure to report that since installing these, the gate has only once toppled over when my four-year-old was hanging on the door.Therefore, I doubt if I used them exactly as intended, but if you need to move a baby gate in an unexpected location where nothing else completely fits, I advise giving these a try. I can also confirm that they actually limit the gate's motion against the wall and assist minimize wall damage. I'm so grateful this small purchase saved the day.

We utilize wall protectors for all four of our baby gates in our home, which my wife now refers to as a "gated community." With this specific rectangular model, we've been quite satisfied (when used in the appropriate locations — see below). They leave very little marking on the wall after removal, are simple to install, and their rubber grip reduces gate slipping.Because baby and pet gates can be installed in a variety of locations, it is a good thing that wall protectors are available in a variety of forms and sizes (staircases, doorways, large walls, etc.). In accordance with where you intend to install your gate, it is crucial to choose the right wall protection. So...———————————————————————————————————————————-FEW PRINCIPLES GENERALLY RELATING TO WALL PROTECTORS————————————————————————————————————————————1) Wall protectors usually offer a greater grip between the gate and the wall in addition to shielding your walls from dents and scratches. This makes it difficult for your child or pet to force the gate open (though they will try nonetheless!).2) The majority of wall protectors still leave a very slight mark on your wall, particularly if it is painted drywall. There are techniques to lessen the mark left behind, but expecting there to be absolutely no signs that a gate was ever erected is probably unlikely. At least the protectors reduce the possibility of DENTS in the wall.3. Because a larger wall protector would disperse the pressure from the gate over a broader area of the wall, it will often have a reduced danger of denting your wall than a smaller one.4) On the other side, the contact point of the gate will end up being further away from nearby buildings, such as the floor, the greater the wall protector. For instance, the opening where the gate's tension screw is placed is a few inches from the protector's edge, so the bottom of the gate will protrude an inch or two over the ground. It is obvious that a tripping hazard would be created by the horizontal bar at the bottom of the gate's entrance floating a few inches above the ground!5) As a result, the wall protector with the largest surface area that will fit into the space without moving the gate is often the ideal one to utilize for each of your gate's contact points. (Clearly disregarding aesthetics...)Let's take these guidelines into consideration as we examine three of the most typical baby gate wall protector shapes and potential applications for each:1) Round: These wall guards are typically 5-6" in diameter and have a hole in the middle where the tension screws for the gate should be inserted. Their major benefit is that because of their size, they put less pressure on your walls (which is especially important against drywall). They won't fit in some spaces, though, and you shouldn't use them against the ground because they can hinder your gate from resting flush with the surface. Therefore, whenever there is a large wall space, use them on the higher contact points of your gate.2) Rectangular: Typically, these measure 2" by 6". While they fit into spaces the large circle guards won't, they exert a little bit more pressure on your walls. I advise employing these in two categories of locations:- For ALL lower gate supports, in the horizontal orientation, SAVE for locations where your horizontal wall space is only a few inches (such as the bottom of a narrow door frame). You can then position the gate as near to the ground as you can.- In a small door frame, vertically oriented for UPPER gate supports.3) Square: These are often only slightly larger than the gate support, measuring around 2" by 2". I would only ever use these for the LOWER gate support at the base of a small door frame because nothing else would fit there.

Recently, my 88-year-old father and his 50-pound dog moved in with me. I currently have a granddaughter, two cats, and an apartment. This dog has, let's say, not much training, and when she feels threatened, she has been known to pinch. So dealing with this dog is kind of a hassle for me.Sadly, my father and stepmother adopted this dog, who would have been a challenge for a skilled dog trainer. Since they are not experienced dog trainers, they were in over their heads with her. She has always been fearful of people she doesn't know, and if they turn their back on her, she nips at their legs or does other unsavory things. This is bad enough with an adult, but if she does it to my grandaughter or her friends, we're going to have problems. Her lack of experience with children makes it a significant issue in and of itself. Additionally, she has a strong need to chase things and hasn't been around cats in nearly 8 years. One of my cats is a real "scaredy cat," hiding if you glance at him from the side simply to make things more difficult. I still have a lot of work to do.When I realized that my father and I would have to accompany her, I began looking into gate possibilities. Fortunately, she doesn't test these things, so I need something that will keep her in while yet letting my father pass through easily. He needs to be able to move through with ease because his mobility is severely limited (he uses a Rollator) and he poses a fall danger. I understood that I probably required more than one gate. And I understood that I wasn't really sure how it would turn out until the puppy arrived.I immediately recognized this gate and yard as the solution to my issues. With this, I have a ton of options, so I can adjust how we set it up when circumstances (hopefully) change. After experimenting with different setups, I finally settled on four panels at one end of the long living room to lock the dog in both when we go outside (she will poop if left in a big enough space) and as a place to put her if we have visitors in order to keep them safe while she learns how to behave. To keep her mostly with us while giving the cats a secure area where they can access their food and litter, we installed three additional panels at the opposite end of the room. (It turned out to be fantastic for preventing one of my cats from sneaking out when I'm barbecuing through my sliding door!) The gate itself is the only thing I haven't used because my father's Rollator won't fit through it, but that's okay because it might come in handy later. I appreciate that I can take this with us and modify it for the new area since we will soon be moving into a house.Since I know she may be impounded and even put down if she even so much as nips one of my grandchild's friends or an adult, dealing with this dog's condition has definitely been the most stressful part of the relocation for me. If not the most difficult, it certainly ranks right up there. This feels like a heavier weight than taking care of my elderly father. I'm therefore quite happy that this is in place at this time. It's doing a terrific job! She has already started to learn not to chase the braver cat who enters and exits the living room through the opening we made for him. When we go out, she appears to be okay with keeping in the little area. In all honesty, there was no better option for my needs.For such a large set, this item is surprisingly durable and lightweight. Depending on your needs, you can configure this in soooo many different ways. Additionally, the cost is astounding for a gate with 8 panels. When I started looking for a gate, I was beginning to lose hope because I really wasn't sure how I would set things up and I didn't want to have to buy 4 different gates (or more) until I found the one that would work.Consequently, this is your gate if you ever need to quickly and conveniently separate groups of animals. This is your gate if you need to cordon off a space that is oddly shaped. This is your gate if you need to have a portable pen when traveling. This is your gate if you have someone who is unable to pass through the typical gate that most of these items have. In the coming day or two, I'll share pictures to demonstrate how we have things set up for our current circumstance.Despite the fact that I am a reviewer here, I made a PERSONAL purchase of this item at full retail price and am writing this review because I want to. I haven't been asked to write a review, and I don't know the seller personally. As usual, my experiences and comments are an accurate depiction of how I actually felt about the product. I sincerely hope that my review aids in your purchasing choices!

Therefore, the answer to the question "Is this a decent buy and worth the money?" is "yes." It is quite strong, nicely designed, and well built.Here is a more thorough evaluation for those who desire it. So, starting with how the gate looks, it is more reminiscent of a miniature garden gate than an infant/dog gate. We use it on our stairs to prevent the dogs from discovering a nice new potty place or a new pair of underpants to fling around while we're away. It's crucial to remember that this gate has a door for a reason; it's not the typical baby gate made of light wood and white plastic; this one is STURDY. It's made of very high-quality metal and needs to be installed, which is not too difficult. Therefore, it wouldn't be something you'd want to get if you wanted to raise and lower a gate because it would be far too difficult for that.I'm sure that's why many of you are interested in this product, even though we don't have to worry about little hands trying to open the gate entrance. I'll tell you that it is extremely well constructed for that function. It includes three separate childproof mechanisms: the first requires you to push a tab over at the top of the gate to release the door latch; the second requires you to lift up on the door itself before it will even open; and the third closes the door behind you by using a very strong spring force. While the first two mechanisms are great because they were installed without visually enlarging the barrier, it's the third one that worries me. This is the reason it lost a star; as I previously stated, the spring actually has a substantial amount of force, and the thing will SLAM shut. While it may be unlikely with the previous two measures, problems like that just seems to follow kids around, so you might as well take it into consideration in the (albeit unlikely) event that any small fingers made their way in there.Although I gave this product four stars overall, I would still suggest it because of its strong design and ability to mix in with our home without looking like a cheap baby gate. The spring-loaded door return is too strong for me to handle; if you don't hold it and close it behind you, it slams loudly as you pass through. Having said that, I'm incredibly delighted we purchased this because it is unquestionably the best item available in terms of both function and design.Did you find my evaluation to be useful? I really do! Please use the comments section below to ask any queries you may have.

bought back in September 2015 to prevent our recently adopted dog from destroying our furniture (we weren't sure at the time if she would if we left her alone). The gate performed a great job at its duty. We have a 25-pound Chihuahua mix, so we didn't need a particularly strong gate to keep her out. We did tend to my friend's 40-pound Shepherd mix, who was having some serious thunder problems. During a storm, he would become rather agitated and would frequently leap and lean against the gate. I'm glad to report that he never managed to knock the gate over. He did, somehow, succeed in jumping over the gate. I'm not sure precisely how I managed to overcome it, but I must have employed some sort of hidden Parkour techniques. Therefore, by my standards, it is sturdy enough.In terms of durability, I see no problems. Of again, because there aren't any children pulling on the bars and banging on the gate, I might not have seen any problems just yet. I'll probably update this review if I do.I prefer the previous version's operation more. It was probably a little bit simpler to open the previous model with one hand. Now I've read some comments that it takes two hands to open this gate. Just watch my video to see that it isn't true. It's doable and not all that difficult to open with one hand. It could take some getting accustomed to, but it's not as difficult as some reviews suggest. The fact that this gate opens in only one direction strikes me as its main drawback. The original gate opened in both directions, which was quite practical. In light of this, check sure the gate is opening in the desired direction. Avoid second-guessing yourself during installation because it's difficult to flip everything over and loosen everything up.It wasn't difficult to set up the gate, but it wasn't particularly simple either. To close the space between the gate latch and the post, you need to screw those side bars quite far out. Prepare to work hard on it since the more it travels, the harder it is to turn. Once the opening is sufficiently narrow for the gate to lock into place and remain closed, its stability is all but assured. One suggestion: if you can, purchase and utilize the "Wall Savers for Pressure Gates" (the pressure mounts puts some massive point pressure on your walls). You risk causing damage to your wall if you don't. I had pressure mounts pressing straight against the wall in my situation since the opening was too small for the wall savers. My wall wasn't damaged, but the paint did come off. I took a piece off of a Kleenex box and placed it between the pressure mount and wall to try to stop this from happening again.Finally, this gate performs its job, at least for me, as my headline indicates. The fact that it only opens in one direction is the true drawback, as I have indicated. Now, I'm not sure if it will be able to handle if you have dogs that weigh above 70 pounds to contain. In my opinion, it should, but it would require a significant tightening of the pressure mounts.

I developed a table comparing the four baby gates I purchased from Amazon, with North States being my favorite but the most expensive (pls see attached picture)The Regalo brand is generally the least priced of the four, although I don't much like it. The Extra Tall Regalo is a superior product to the Regalo in regular size. This is why:***A young child can raise the handle to open the standard-sized gate. Yes, there is a red latch to prevent this, however while the latch is in place, you as a parent can't quickly open the gate with one hand if you have other things on your hands. If you get this gate, be sure to get the EXTRA TALL one so that you can still easily open it even if your child manages to reach the handle.***Neither the regular nor the extra-tall Regalo gates open in both directions.BELOW ARE SOME GENERAL BABY GATE POINTERS:What size baby gate do you need? *** How wide do you need the gate to be? The majority of gates are constructed to suit a normal door frame; however, some DO NOT (you must order them separately and pay more).Do you want the gate to be tall or average height? A suitable height to step over is average. If you DO NOT want any children to climb over it or you have a large/tall dog, height is a positive thing.Do you want it to open in both directions? This feature is really great.SAFETYs***The four posts on each of these "tension mount" baby gates screw outward until they touch the wall. Additionally, they include cups that you may mount on the wall to strengthen them. However, if the gate is in a high-risk location, such as at the top and bottom of stairs or in any unsupervised rooms, you should install the cups to secure the gate against the wall (ie childproofed bedroom while you shower for example). A child can shake and shimmy a gate with tension away from the door frame. Don't underestimate how strong or tenacious your toddler is if it's your first child, and err on the side of safety by INSTALLING the MOUNTING CUPS. Alternatively, I imagine that a heavy/persistent toddler may lean on a gate on top of the steps enough times to pull it down.

This gate, which has a 58" span between the living room and dining room of our apartment, was purchased for that purpose. Since we rent, there was no way to drill into the door frame; instead, we had to use a pressure mounted gate to fit the span. This gate appears to be effective. The door can be opened with one hand easily without locking it; with the lock in place, it takes a little more effort, but it is still doable with some practice. My son can now walk laterally while utilizing the gate as assistance. He had just begun bringing himself to a standing position a few weeks ago. Despite his best efforts, the gate has so far managed to remain in place. As he gets stronger and more motivated, we'll see if it holds up.UPDATE: Yesterday, my kid, who is now 11 months old and learning to walk, showed that he is pretty skilled at opening the latch when it is not locked. He attempts repeatedly while the lock is in place but instead just becomes angry. With an older child, the lock may occasionally be difficult to use, but it is ABSOLUTELY REQUIRED. Despite his best efforts, the pressure has continued to grow (he likes to hang from the top of the gate and try to scale it). We've had to adjust the gate a few times because it moves gradually over time, but that is to be anticipated from a pressure mount.Once or twice, as the bars gently twist at the bottom, he was able to get his foot wedged between them. He wasn't at all wounded by getting stuck; he was just angry. Yet another 5-star gate!

Please be aware that this review is unpaid, independent, and verified. Additionally, for a year, this product was put to the test by five kids, two dogs, two irate parents, and occasionally an irate grandmother.Let's get right to the point, okay?You have kids, pets, or even a small pony, but they won't recognise the self-preservation that is a basic animal survival instinct.This handy dandy small gate will help enforce this rule and will do it in a stylish and user-friendly manner, all without breaking toenails.If your dog or pony can do the latter, you need more than a gate. They may sob (whinny/bark), claw, try to climb, hang from the bars, or eventually resort to begging or threatening, but alas, it will be ineffective. The North States gate is capable of handling most things they throw at it, with the exception of a parent's emotional brittleness. Resist giving in!The Positive: • Clear directions. I didn't find the template to be a hindrance, unlike what I've read elsewhere (but then then, I'm a woman and I follow directions ;-). Take your time, please! Use the "hold in place and mark" cheater method instead if you don't have it or if your partner is resistant to using it (like my hubby until I took over):— Attach the bottom bracket with screws on the support side, ensuring that it is at the desired height before tightening all the way.— Determine your width. It is advisable to estimate it by eye and choose the margin that is closest. In case the side screws don't produce the desired outcome, wait to fully secure the screws in it till you've finished all the measures.— Insert the gate on the bottom support side, asking a helper to hold it level (I didn't, which made it difficult).— Insert and hold the upper support bracket while completely outlining it with a pencil on the wall or post. Additionally, insert that pencil into the drill holes to ensure that you are drilling accurately and staying within the outline.— Remove the gate, then use the penciled guides to install the upper wall/post bracket.— Now that the support side is complete, including the gate being hung, complete the opening side by following the same outline procedure. Adjustments are simple thanks to the screws on each contact point, but be careful not to TIGHTEN ALL 4 UNTIL YOU'RE 100% HAPPY.Important: Be important to read instructions to ensure that you use the proper screw for each bracket. Make that the locking harness, which is the biggest exterior piece on which the locking lever is placed, is pointed in the appropriate direction. I first made that error when two crazed toddlers tried to steal my drill. Before deciding on its quality, experiment with it as well. Try moving the screws higher or closer if it still won't latch. When you open and close it, you will need to slightly push or pull it into position.• Everything can be adjusted in width. First used it indoors, which was an odd measurement from post to wall (latch on post). After that, it was moved to the deck (shown), where it fit both times nicely.• Metal. Everywhere. With the exception of the plastic, but very STRONG, latch housing, side brackets, and cover parts to secure width adjustment. Basically, an animal that is not a member of the sapien species will still find it difficult to chew this. My mastiff gave up after trying. She can chew up those robust dog toys in five minutes; I wonder whether the manufacturers are aware of this.• There is no threshold to trip over! I've actually padded my other gates with thresholds using the sticky pads that came with the North States baby pens (I have three of them). Toe nails with too much blood.• WIDE opening width I have certain relatives who are a little "thick"—their words, not mine—and they can pass through this gate while holding a baby but not through my other two.• Can support a 22-pound baby swinging from it with ease. Open or shut. Everyone either has or knows someone who has one of "them" kids, which is obviously not advised.

I've been attempting to comprehend all the unfavorable comments about this product. I don't entirely understand it, but I have to blame improper installation on people's ignorance.This gate is made of solid metal and has one extension on each side. I'm a 43.5 "a door leading to my back hallway I purchased an extra wide gate from a nearby shop because I required one. It was quite high and difficult to cross. I made the decision that I required one with a gate for passage.This one was on Amazon when I looked for it, but I hesitated after reading some of the reviews that described it as "a plastic piece of garbage," "unsteady and easily knocked over," etc. Since I have Prime and can immediately receive it and form my own opinion, I made the decision to give it the benefit of the doubt. Depending on how it went, I figured I would either return the one I purchased locally or this one.Installation: Once more 43.5 for my opening "(One of the extenders was necessary. I used the larger of the two because there are two distinct sizes. Maybe some of the people who experienced gate instability used extenders of the incorrect size? IDK...To seal the space between the extender and the wall, you turn these threaded rods on the gate. Because they already have adjustment knobs built in, they are really simple to modify.NOTE*** - People who claim that the gate and latch are out of alignment may not be aware that there is a gap; however, after the latch is tightened in place, the gap disappears. So while the gate may not appear to line up properly when it is still in the box, it does so once it has been adjusted and installed.I tightened up and installed this device perfectly in less than five minutes. The locking mechanism is simple to use, and the swinging gate operates flawlessly. Although I have read about others having issues with the latch, all you really need to do to open the gate is pull back the latch release lever on top. It has a component that fits over the bottom rail to hold the gate steady on the bottom end, so you have to lift it.I didn't screw the wall receivers into the wall, which is one thing. Although it comes with screws to do this, I wanted to test their effectiveness first. Anyone claiming that a child or other person could topple this should be aware that the wall receivers were not secured to a substantial wooden portion of the wall. If they did, you would have had to bend the entire gate to "knock it over" and get it out of them.So.... Sorry for the lengthy review, but I detest it when companies' products are criticized because of improper installation. I really considered passing on this purchase, but I'm glad I didn't. Worth the cost, and I won't be falling face first into the toilet in the middle of the night anymore.

To seal off a door with our new cat on one side and the older cat on the other, I have now purchased three of these. Three stacks haven't stopped my new cat from jumping and climbing over so far, but the product isn't to blame for that. These are an outdated but tried-and-true design. You only need to open the box and place it in a doorway because they are already completely assembled. The two fence pieces are marked with notches every two inches, and you may adjust the clipping cam bar to lock the two fence pieces apart as they glide away. Since the notches are half an inch apart, you must insert the metal hinge pin into the fourth notch to the right of the one labeled 30 in order for a conventional 32" bedroom door opening to lock. Particularly if you place this inside the door jam so a child or pet tugging on it is pushing at the door stop, the rubber bumpers hold it quite nicely. A piece of cardboard on top, in my opinion, might eventually keep my cat in the space. One or two will probably do the work and last a lot longer than necessary because toddlers and dogs don't jump or climb like cats.
If you're looking for how to keep your dog out of your room without a gate, here are a few tips. First, make sure that your door is always closed. Dogs are curious creatures and if they see an open door, they're likely to want to explore what's inside. Secondly, you can try using a baby gate. If your dog is small enough, they may be able to squeeze under the gate, but it's worth a try. Finally, you can try using a spray bottle filled with water. Whenever your dog goes near your room, give them a quick spray
It can be difficult to keep your toddler from climbing over the gate, but there are a few things you can do to make it more difficult for them. You can try putting a piece of furniture in front of the gate so they can't get to it, or you can put a lock on the gate so they can't open it. You can also try talking to them about why they shouldn't climb over the gate and why it's important to stay safe.
If your toddler is climbing stairs, there are a few things you can do to stop them. You can put up a gate at the bottom of the stairs, or you can teach them not to go up the stairs without permission. You can also try to distract them with other activities.

If you have open stairs in your home, you'll want to take some steps to dog proof them. This is especially important if you have a young puppy or an older dog who is less steady on their feet. One way to dog proof open stairs is to install a gate at the top and bottom. This will prevent your dog from being able to access the stairs and will also give you peace of mind when you can't be there to supervise. Another way to dog proof open stairs is to make sure they are well-lit. This will help your dog see
