Pressure Fit/Pressure Mounted Safety Gates

Safety gates (stair gates) which are attached without the need for drilling, screws or adhesives. They should be bought to almost exactly fit the width of the doorway/opening and then the pressure cups are adjusted to ensure a tight fit. Pressure mounted gates have a bar at the bottom which provides stability but this can also prove a tripping hazard for parents.
