Full details
This Safetots Safety Gate Package is designed for parents and guardians seeking a flexible and secure safety solution for homes with non-standard openings, multiple staircases, or areas with potential trip hazards. Its key benefit is its adaptability to complex layouts and enhanced safety features like a trip-hazard-free design at the top of stairs.

FAQs
What is the main difference between the Multi-Panel Solution and the Diagonal Fit Gate?

Are these gates suitable for the top of the stairs?
Yes, the Diagonal Fit Gate is particularly recommended for the top of stairs due to its trip-hazard-free design. The Multi-Panel Solution can also be used at the top of stairs if configured and mounted securely.
Do I need to drill holes to install these gates?
Yes, both gates in this package are screw-mounted, meaning they require drilling holes into your walls or doorframes for secure installation.
How wide can the Multi-Panel Solution be configured?
The Multi-Panel Solution is designed for adaptability and can cover a wide range of openings by adjusting the panel configuration. Consult the product manual for specific maximum span based on panel arrangement.
What is the height of the gates?

Can the gates be opened with one hand?
Yes, both gates feature a secure, one-handed double-action locking mechanism that is easy for adults to operate.
What safety standards do these gates meet?
Both gates meet the EN1930 safety barrier testing standards.
Troubleshooting
Gate is wobbly or feels insecure.
Ensure all mounting screws are fully tightened into the wall or frame. Check that the wall plugs (if used) are secure. Re-verify the gate is installed squarely using a spirit level.
Locking mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate.
Check for any obstructions in the latch or locking parts. Clean the mechanism gently and ensure it is free from dirt or debris. The mechanism may loosen slightly with use.
Gate does not close properly.
Verify the gate is mounted straight and level. Ensure there are no obstructions on the floor or wall that prevent the gate from closing fully. Adjust mounting points if necessary.
Screws do not hold securely in the mounting surface.
Use appropriate wall plugs for your wall type (e.g., plasterboard, brick). If mounting on a very soft surface, consider reinforcing the area or using larger wall fixings suitable for the material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Both the Multi-Panel Solution and the Diagonal Fit Gate are designed for screw-mounted installation. Ensure you have the correct tools (drill, screwdriver, spirit level) and have identified suitable mounting points on walls or doorframes. Follow the included instructions carefully for precise placement and secure fixing. The Multi-Panel Solution may require assembly of panels before mounting to achieve the desired configuration.
Compatibility: These gates are compatible with most standard wall and doorframe materials suitable for screw fixing. The Diagonal Fit Gate is specifically designed for staircases and doorways. Always measure your opening accurately before purchasing to ensure a proper fit within the gate's specified range.
Care: Clean the gates regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish. Periodically check that all screws are tight and that the gate mechanism is functioning correctly.
