Helpful Hints

To prevent a fall down the stairs To keep children from “off-limit” areas (e.g. kitchen or back hallway) To define appropriate, safe play spaces (e.g. living or bedroom doorways)

At Top of Stairs, use hardware mount (screwed-in hinge) often called Swing

At Bottom of Stairs, use pressure mount walk-thru (U-shaped frame with swing panel) OR hardware mount (tools required for installation)

In Doorways, between Rooms or in Hallways, use pressure mount security (easy-release latch or pop-in) OR pressure mount walk-thru (U-shaped frame with swing panel)

Try to install Safety Gates BEFORE your child becomes mobile; this helps prevent injuries and will also give you time to become accustomed to using them regularly.
