Safetots Chunky Wooden Screw Fit Stair Gate, Azure Blue, 63.5cm - 105.5cm, Wood Baby Gate, Screw Fit Safety Barrier, Stylish Design and Practical Safety Gate, Easy Installation

This gate is brilliant, yes its harder to install than the pressure fit items but once its installed it excels in every way. Its feels robust and very secure with both top and bottom locks engaged and looks much better (in our house) than the previous pressure fit gate we had before.Fitting is relatively easy however I found the fitting dimensions given in the fitting instruction were slightly out. I was fitting between two wooden posts at the top of our stairs so not a problem to change location and still be hidden by the hinge. I found that by only fitting the top screw (each hinge requires two screws) I could trial fit the gate and check alignment, then you can measure how out the screw locations were and change with the other screw if required.All sounds very technical but its not that hard, if you aren't handy with a screwdriver it might be worth getting a local carpenter to quote for fitting. Screw fit gates are so superior to the pressure fit gates, if its in your house I wouldn't hesitate, for occasional (grandparent etc) use maybe pressure fit is ok.I'm going to buy a second gate for the bottom of the stairs but that will require screwing into the wall on one side, what I might do now is attach a batten of wood to the wall first then screw the hinges to the batten so I have scope to reposition if required.

This is my second purchase of this type of stairs gate.Firstly it's easy to assemble for anyone who likes a bit of DIY. The raw plugs and screws supplied offer good support for the gate and when the gate is locked there is no chance of it coming off.My favourite thing about this is that when you open the gate, unlike the older metal stairs gates you are not left with a bar at the bottom which can be a safety issue with the risk of tripping.Opening and Closing the gate is easy for adults, and more difficult for kids which is what you want in a gate. My 6 year old struggles to open it.The overall value for money is good as it is good quality and exactly what I needed.

Seems very good, feel the hinges are a little slack in the holders so rattle about a fair bit .. but seems secure and looks good

These are great gates. Easy to install. Easy to use. Have a classic look and they do the job. Straight of the box it’s not a daunting task to install. There’s even a paper stencil style sheet to mark where to put holes befire screwing them in. Fittings are provided for all types of wall that you may have. I used the wood screws as going straight into the wooden bannisters. The fittings are plastic on the side and interchangeable from left to right opening it inward and outward. Although outward over the stairs is not advised. Great gates. I got two for each floor and I’ll be getting a third for ground floor once I need it.

Gate was safe adjusted well easy to remove was very safe good size good locking

Solid wood greatLots of parts and a bit fiddly to fixLots of adjustments required to get square and free working on unsquare wallsOpening mechanism only works on top so not really single hand operationFar better latches availableInstructions require a bit of readingAn extra locking bolt on the extension area would add security(Required readjustment after short period as gate stuck and will require more through use)

We have a bannister that does not do well with the spring loaded gates so got this one and it was so easy to assemble and put up, all you need is a drill really!It is incredible strong and sturdy and the mechanism is more fiddly for a toddler to learn than the spring loaded ones... my 12 month old has already grasped the other ones in the house, I don't think my 3yr old nephew would have the ability to open this one.... but if is easy for an adult with one hand!Only small con is the bolts that clip into the mechanism can be length adjusted (easily) but can also easily come a bit loose and need tightening back up every so often. Not a big deal for me at all, but need to watch it so they do clip into place properly.

Look great, strong wood and good quality. A little difficult to install as when going on stairs you often have wall to banister and skirting boards to account. They do have a nice template to follow but ours is not quite right when stuck on the wall. (Skirting boards and carpets dont allow this to work accurately) would be good on flush hard floor.
