Full details
This VOUNOT Pressure Fit Safety Gate is designed for parents and pet owners seeking a secure, easy-to-use barrier for doorways and staircases. Its key benefit is the secure, drill-free installation provided by a U-shaped frame and pressure points, offering robust protection. A minor caveat is the initial gap in the handle, which is normal and disappears upon correct installation. The gate features a magnetic lock with dual security, one-handed operation, and a 'keep-open' function, making it versatile for busy households.

FAQs
Do I need to drill holes to install this gate?
No, this is a pressure-fit gate. It uses a U-shaped frame with four pressure points to secure itself without requiring any drilling into walls or doorframes.
What is the maximum width this gate can cover?
The gate fits openings from 75 cm to 84 cm. With the addition of two separate 12 cm extension kits (sold separately), it can extend to cover openings up to 108 cm.
How does the magnetic lock work?
The gate features a magnetic lock that automatically engages when the gate is closed. A dual security mechanism requires adults to operate it with one hand, while preventing easy opening by children.
Can the gate be opened in both directions?
Yes, the gate is designed with a two-way opening feature, allowing it to be opened inwards or outwards, which is useful for different room layouts.
What does the 'keep-open' function do?
The 'keep-open' function allows you to lock the gate open at a 90° angle. This is convenient for times when you need to pass through frequently without having to open and close the gate each time.
Is this gate certified for safety?
Yes, the stair gate complies with the European safety standards EN 1903: 2011.
What is the warranty period for this product?
The product comes with a 1-year guarantee.
Troubleshooting
Gate wobbles or feels loose
Re-tighten the pressure-fit screws using the adjustment mechanism. Ensure all four pressure points are making firm contact with the wall or frame. Check that extensions (if used) are correctly attached.
Magnetic lock does not engage properly
Verify that the gate is correctly aligned and tensioned. Ensure the magnetic strike plate on the frame is clean and free of debris. Check for any obstructions preventing the latch from seating.
The gap between the handle and frame does not close
This indicates the gate is not sufficiently tightened. Continue to adjust the pressure-fit screws until the gap closes and the gate is securely installed. Ensure no obstacles are preventing full closure.
Gate is difficult to open with one hand
Ensure the lock mechanism is fully disengaged. Check for any sticking points in the hinges or latch. Sometimes, a slight jiggle can help release the lock.
