Why choose pressure-mounted baby safety gates?

• Pressure mounted gates these days are super popular as they are secure, well manufactured and there is no need for drilling.
• The gates come with 4 ‘mounting cups’ and strong double sided tape, these cups go between the wall and the pressure spindles/tension knobs.

Dreambaby Gate Tension Knobs and Mounting Cups

• Once the gate is up and these side spindles/tension knobs have been tightened into the cups, the cups with the double sided tape keep the gate secure and in place.
• Disclaimer:  Be sure to leave the double sided tape to set for at least 24 hours before tugging and putting unnecessary pressure on the gate. Patience is everything!

What are Gate Extensions used for?

• Gate extensions add versatility to standard sized safety gates.
• Extensions allow you to use gates all around the home, including areas with wider openings.
• A great way to create childproof zones/areas without having to baby proof your whole house.

Important before purchasing any gate:

• Take accurate measurements.
• And remember to take the skirting into account.
• The maximum adjustable size of the gate includes the tension knobs on the sides used to pressure mount the gate.

Additional support for gates on the floor

• Supporting extra wide gates that have extensions on the floor (on either side) so they don’t shift is important.
• To do this, I use foam sealant tape available in the shop section here available per meter or in 10m rolls.

Extra precautions to consider:

The horizontal bar found at the bottom of ALL pressure mounted gates can be a tripping hazard.  I use glow in the dark tape as a general “heads up” at night time.
