Extending stair gates: These can be adjusted to fit a range of doorway widths without the need for any additional extension pieces Unlike screw fitting stair gates that need to be fitted into the wall, pressure stair gates are mounted by putting pressure on the corners. They're incredibly easy to install and won't leave marks on your walls — perfect if you're living in rented accommodation or do not want to drill holes in your walls. A pressure fit stair gate will typically open outwards and is fitted securely to a doorframe using adjustable pressure pads at four corners of the gate, with the door supported by a U-shaped frame. This means they don't require any additional tools or equipment to install. However, the very best stair gates won't just be secure and safe. They'll have simple instructions for a straightforward installation, and will be easy to open and close.
