Professional wall-fixed baby gate installation - screw-fixed for maximum security. Essential at the top of stairs where pressure-fit gates are dangerous.
### Top Of Stairs = Screw Fix
Pressure-fit gates are fine for doorways and bottom of stairs. **But at the top of stairs, a child falling against a pressure-fit gate could push it out.** Wall-fixed is the only safe option.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Always use screw-fix at the top of stairs. This is genuinely life-saving, not overcautious parenting.

Frequently Asked Questions about Wall-fixed baby gate in Newton Abbot
Why wall-fix instead of pressure-fit?
At the top of stairs, wall-fix is essential. A child falling against a pressure-fit gate could push it out and fall down the stairs. Screw-fixed gates stay put no matter what.
Will it damage my walls?
Small screw holes that can be filled when the gate is eventually removed. The alternative - a child falling down stairs - doesn't bear thinking about.
Can you fix into UPVC door frames?
Not into UPVC itself - it won't hold. We can often fix to the wall beside the frame, or use adapter kits designed for UPVC situations.
What about plasterboard walls?
We use toggle bolts or find the studs behind the plasterboard. The fixings must be secure - the whole point is the gate doesn't move.
