Types of Baby Gates
-
Baby safety gates are available in wood, metal or plastic models. Some baby gates must be mounted with hardware by drilling directly into the wall or staircase spindles, while others are pressure mounted and do not require any drilling. Pressure mounted baby gates can be difficult to secure to a round surface like staircase spindles.
Gate Installation Kit
-
A baby gate installation kit may be used to safely install a baby gate on a staircase with metal or iron spindles. Compatible with all pressure or hardware mounted baby gates, a gate installation kit includes all materials required to mount a baby gate to metal spindles without the need for drilling holes.
