Full details

The Safetots Multi-Panel Solution and Diagonal Fit Gate Package is designed for households needing flexible and secure safety barriers for challenging spaces, such as the bottom of stairs or oddly shaped openings. Its key benefit lies in its modular design and secure screw-fit installation, offering robust protection where standard gates may not suffice.

FAQs

What is the maximum width this gate system can cover?

The Multi-Panel Solution is highly configurable. With multiple panels, it can cover very wide openings; the exact width depends on how many panels are used and in what configuration. The Diagonal Fit Gate is designed for standard openings.

Can this gate be installed without drilling?

No, both the Multi-Panel Solution and the Diagonal Fit Gate are screw-fit (hardware mounted) gates and require drilling into the wall or banister for secure installation.

What is the height of the gates?

The panels of the Multi-Panel Solution are 70cm high, and the Diagonal Fit Gate is 73cm high once installed.

Is the gate safe to use at the top of the stairs?

Yes, the Diagonal Fit Gate is particularly suitable for the top of stairs as it does not have a bottom bar, reducing the trip hazard. Both gates are certified to EN1930 safety barrier standards.

How do I clean the Safetots gate?

Wipe the gate clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Safetots offers a comprehensive warranty, reflecting their commitment to customer satisfaction. Please refer to your product packaging or the manufacturer's website for specific warranty details, which is typically 1 year.

Can the gate be removed easily for cleaning or access?

The Diagonal Fit Gate can be removed quickly without tools for easy access or cleaning once it has been installed.

Troubleshooting

Gate is wobbly or unstable.

Ensure all screws are fully tightened into a secure mounting surface. Check that the gate is properly seated in its brackets and adjust any tension mechanisms.

Locking mechanism is stiff or difficult to operate.

Check for any obstructions in the locking mechanism. Clean the area and apply a small amount of lubricant if necessary. Ensure the gate is aligned correctly within its frame.

Gate does not close properly.

Verify that the gate is installed level and plumb. Check for any debris preventing full closure. Ensure the latch is engaging correctly with the catch.

Holes need to be drilled, but unsure of wall type.

Identify your wall type (e.g., drywall, plaster, brick, wood). Use appropriate drill bits and wall anchors/plugs designed for that specific material for a secure installation.
