FAQs

Do I need to drill holes to install this gate?

No, the Safetots Safestep Gate uses pressure-fit technology, meaning it installs securely using tension against walls or door frames without any drilling required.

Can this gate be used at the top of stairs?

Yes, but it's crucial to use the included gate stop to ensure the gate only opens outwards, away from the stairs, to meet safety standards.

How wide of an opening can this gate fit?

This specific model fits openings between 103cm and 110cm. Additional gate extensions are available separately for wider doorways.

What is the main benefit of the Safestep design?

The main benefit is the extra low walkthrough bar, which significantly reduces the tripping hazard for adults compared to standard safety gates.

How do I clean the gate?

Clean the gate with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to maintain the finish and safety.

What safety standards does this gate meet?

The Safetots Safestep Gate adheres to the stringent EN1930:2011 Safety Standard for safety barriers.

Is the gate safe for babies and toddlers?

Yes, the gate is designed with toddler-climb-proof and finger-safe features, and includes a childproof double-lock opening system.

Troubleshooting

Gate does not stand straight or feels wobbly.

Ensure all pressure-fit screws are evenly tightened. Check that the mounting surfaces are flat and stable. Adjust the position of the gate and re-apply tension.

Gate is difficult to open or close.

Verify that the gate is installed straight and not at an angle. Check for any obstructions near the hinges or locking mechanism. Ensure screws are not overtightened, causing the frame to twist.

Locking mechanism does not engage properly.

Clean the locking mechanism and ensure there is no debris preventing it from engaging. Check the alignment of the gate in the frame.

The Open Gate Warning Indicator is not visible or indicates insecure closure.

This indicates the gate is not properly secured. Re-tension the pressure screws until the indicator shows a secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Assemble: Attach any necessary extensions if required for your doorway width.
  2. Position: Place the gate in the desired doorway or opening.
  3. Tension: Use the included adjustment screws and mounting cups to apply tension against the walls or door frames. Ensure the gate is level.
  4. Secure: Tighten the screws until the gate is firmly held in place by pressure. Do not overtighten. Check that the Open Gate Warning Indicator shows the gate is secure.
  5. Adjust Gate Stop (Optional): If using at the top of stairs, ensure the gate stop is configured to prevent the gate from opening towards the stairs.

Compatibility:

  • Width: Fits openings between 103cm and 110cm without extensions. Extensions are available separately to accommodate wider spaces.
  • Surface: Best installed on firm, flat surfaces like door frames or solid walls. Ensure the surface can withstand the pressure exerted by the gate.

Care:

  • Clean the gate with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
  • Periodically check the pressure screws to ensure they remain tight and the gate is secure.
  • Ensure the locking mechanisms and hinges are free from debris.
