Professional stair gate installation - screw-fixed gates fitted securely to walls, positioned at the right height, tested for strength. Peace of mind that pressure-fit gates can't provide.
### Safety You Can Trust
A wobbly gate is worse than useless - **it gives false confidence**. Proper screw-fixed installation means your gate won't budge, however hard your toddler pushes.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Always screw-fix at the top of stairs. A pressure-fit gate can pop out under force. At the top of stairs, that's catastrophic.

Good to Know
> 🔒 **Top of stairs = screw fix** - no exceptions. A pressure-fit gate can be dislodged by a child falling against it. At the top of stairs, that's potentially fatal. **Choosing a gate:** - Measure gap width first - Check height requirements - Consider opening direction - Think about one-handed operation **Multiple gates:** - Often needed (top and bottom) - Same visit is most efficient - Match styles for consistency - Budget for all at once
Frequently Asked Questions about Stair gate installation in Tiverton
Pressure-fit or screw-fixed - which is better?
At the top of stairs, always screw-fixed. A pressure-fit gate can be pushed out by a determined toddler - with dangerous consequences. At doorways and bottom of stairs, pressure-fit is fine.
Will screw-fixing damage my walls?
Small holes yes, but easily filled later. The alternative is a gate that fails. Most people find the peace of mind worth a few filler-able holes.
Do I need to buy the gate?
Yes - choose one you like and we'll fit it. Or we can advise on what works for your space. Measure the gap width before buying.
What about wider openings?
Extension kits are available for most gates. Very wide openings may need a different style of gate. We can advise when we see the space.
