FAQs

Is this gate suitable for the top of the stairs?

While the gate meets EN1930:2011 safety standards, pressure-fit gates are generally not recommended for the top of staircases due to safety regulations. Wall-mounted gates are typically advised for this location.

How do I extend the width of the gate?

The gate can be extended using compatible one-piece gate extensions. These are typically added between the gate panels and the side frames according to the extension's instructions.

What is the height of the gate?

The height of the gate when installed is 75.5cm.

Can I install this gate without drilling into my walls?

Yes, this gate utilizes a pressure-fit system, meaning it mounts securely using tension between the gate and the wall or door frame, without the need for drilling.

How do I clean the gate?

You can clean the gate using a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents to protect the finish.

What does the one-way gate stopper do?

The one-way gate stopper ensures the gate can only open in a single direction, which is a critical safety feature when placing the gate at the bottom of stairs.

What is the warranty period for this gate?

Safetots offers a comprehensive warranty, reflecting their commitment to customer satisfaction and product excellence. Please refer to your purchase documentation for specific warranty terms and duration.

Troubleshooting

Gate does not close automatically.

Ensure the gate is level and not binding against the frame. Check that the closing mechanism is not obstructed. A gentle, firm push may be needed to ensure full engagement.

Gate feels wobbly or insecure.

Re-tighten the pressure-fit spindles. Ensure the gate is positioned squarely in the opening and that the pressure is evenly distributed on both sides. Check for any obstructions that might be preventing a tight fit.

Difficulty opening the gate with one hand.

Ensure the locking mechanism on the handle is fully disengaged. Clean any dust or debris from the handle and locking components.

Gate won't fit the opening.

Verify the opening width against the gate's specified range (103.8cm - 110.8cm). If the opening is wider, you will need to purchase compatible extensions.
