Overview
This is a hardware mounted safety gate spanning 26 to 43 inches wide and 28 inches tall, made from carbon steel and finished in white, with no bottom bar and an auto close latch.
Unlike Babelio's pressure mounted version, this one is fixed with hardware and drilled into the frame, which trades easy removal for a firmer, more permanent hold. Babelio lists it for babies, dogs, cats and children, and the no bottom bar design leaves the threshold clear to step over.
- 26-43 inch width, 28 inch height
- Carbon steel construction
- Hardware mount, drill needed
- No bottom bar, auto close
Who it's for
Households wanting a permanent stairtop or doorway gate rather than a temporary one, and who don't mind drilling into the frame for a firmer mount.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Hardware mount gives a firmer, more permanent hold
- No bottom bar to step over
- One handed operation
- Auto close latch
- Requires drilling, unlike Babelio's pressure mounted model
- Fixed installation is harder to relocate
Performance notes
Hardware mounting anchors the frame directly into the wall or door trim with screws, which holds more firmly under a pet's or child's weight than pressure alone, at the cost of leaving mounting holes when removed. The auto close latch and one handed operation let an adult pass through without holding the gate open manually.
