Professional bottom stair gate fitting - keep crawlers and toddlers from climbing the stairs. Properly fitted so it's secure for children but easy for adults.
Stop The Climb
Stairs fascinate babies. The moment they can crawl, they're heading upward. A gate at the bottom stops the climbing before it starts - and prevents the tumbles that follow.
💡 Pro tip: Fit the gate before your baby starts crawling. Once they're mobile, it happens faster than you expect.

Good to Know
> 🧒 **Both ends matter** - bottom gate stops climbing, top gate prevents falling.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bottom stair gate fitting in Tiverton
Pressure-fit or screw-fixed at the bottom?
At the bottom of stairs, pressure-fit is usually fine - a child falling against it isn't dangerous like at the top. But screw-fixed is always more secure if you're happy with small holes in the frame.
Do I need gates at top and bottom?
Yes - children can climb up and fall down. Bottom gate stops them getting up, top gate prevents falls from above. Both are essential.
Will the gate block the whole opening?
Measure your opening before buying. Gates come in standard sizes with extensions available. Very wide openings may need specialist gates.
How do I open it with hands full?
Most gates have one-handed operation. Look for gates that can be pushed open or have foot-release mechanisms. We can advise when fitting.
