Frequently Asked Questions
What are "Kids Proofing Rods"?
These typically refer to additional vertical slats or clear shields installed on banisters where the existing gap between spindles is wider than 4 inches, posing a risk of a child slipping through or getting their head stuck. We install these to bring your railing up to modern safety standards.
Do you drill into my wood banister?
We try to avoid it whenever possible. We use specialized mounting kits that clamp around the newel post, providing a secure hold for the gate hinges without leaving permanent holes in your fine woodwork.
Can you install gates on angled walls?
Yes. We carry hardware that accommodates angled mounting points, ensuring the gate swings freely and locks securely even if your walls aren't perfectly parallel.
Why is a Technical Visit necessary?
Standard baby gates often don't fit wide openings or complex staircase geometries (like wrought iron spindles or volutes). Furthermore, "friction" gates are dangerous at the top of stairs. Our Child Safety Gates & Rails assessment determines the exact mounting hardware needed—such as Y-spindles or wood adapters—to create a rigid safety barrier without damaging your banisters or risking a fall.
