Product Information
Full details
The Safetots Screw Fit Metal Baby Gate is designed for parents and pet owners seeking a permanent, high-security barrier for high-traffic areas like staircases and doorways. Its primary benefit is the robust, hardware-mounted installation that eliminates the risk of tripping over a bottom threshold bar, providing a clean walk-through space. While it offers superior stability compared to pressure-mounted alternatives, it requires drilling into your wall or woodwork, making it less ideal for temporary installations or rented spaces where fixtures cannot be modified.

FAQs
Does this gate come with an extension?
This specific model fits 70cm to 80cm. Please check the packaging for specific extension compatibility if your opening is wider.
Can I install this at the top of stairs?
Yes, this gate is recommended for the top of stairs due to the secure screw-fit mounting and the one-way opening restrictor.
Is it easy to open with one hand?
Yes, the latch mechanism is designed to be operated with one hand, allowing you to pass through while carrying items.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will need a drill, drill bits, a screwdriver, and a tape measure to ensure accurate mounting.
Does it work on a bannister?
If mounting to a bannister, you may require additional specialized mounting hardware or a wooden batten to provide a flat, secure surface for the brackets.
Troubleshooting
The gate is not latching properly
Check that the gate is level and that the mounting brackets were installed at the exact spacing required.
The gate feels loose after some time
Inspect the wall mount screws to ensure they have not worked loose from the surface, especially if installed in drywall or plaster.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Maintenance Tips:
- Routine Checks: Periodically verify that all screws are tight and the gate hinges move freely.
- Cleaning: Wipe down the metal surface with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners that may chip the powder-coated finish.
- Mechanism Care: If the locking mechanism becomes stiff, a small amount of food-grade silicone lubricant applied to the latch can restore smooth operation.
