Product Information

It is recommended to use a wall-mounted gate on any stairway opening, top or bottom, and a pressure-fit or removable style for doorways. Pressure-fit gates and gates with a step-over bar shouldn't ever be used at the top of stairs. Once up, the stair gate is with you for the long haul. After a testing period of several weeks in a high-traffic area (being opened or closed more than 50 times a day by none-too-gentle older siblings), an adult was unable to shake the gate out of position by more than a millimetre or so. Your rioting toddler will have no chance. Available to extend the Easy Fit Plus Deluxe, Sure Shut Axis, Sure Shut Porte and Sure Shut Orto Safety Gates Lindam stair gates have been an industry-leader for decades.

Customise the width of your pressure fit safety gate

It may not be the best-looking stair gate but for ease of installation, intuitive daily use and sheer, stubborn immovability, the Easy Fit Plus Deluxe gets top marks. It is important that you measure the opening of where you want to install your safety gate correctly. Always measure from the narrowest point, typically skirting to skirting The Lindam 7cm Stair Gate Extension works with pressure-fit safety gates and can be combined to span a variety of opening sizes up to 117cm wide. A customised fit is always better than a standard one, especially when it comes to baby-proofing. If you need to extend your Lindam pressure fit safety gate, you can do so with standard universal gate extensions available in a variety of sizes to give you the perfect fit. These extensions work with pressure-fit safety gates and can be combined to span a variety of opening sizes up to 117cm wide. If putting an extension either side, then one side must be 7cm. Available in both silver and white, they come in 7cm, 14cm and 28cm sizes. Somewhat frustratingly, the gate doesn’t pop out when you want to give the house a clean. Instead, the whole gate has to be removed from the wall cups using the spanner to loosen the gate adjusters. We suggest keeping the gate in place and vacuuming around it if you can. Is the Easy Fit Plus Deluxe stair gate good value for money? When it comes to products like this, safety is of course paramount. While we don't test in a lab, we think testing by real families in real homes provides an invaluable true-to-life insight into the quality of a product.

A safety gate’s key task is to prevent a toddler or young child going somewhere they shouldn’t. In most cases, it’s to stop a toddler going up or down a flight of stairs that they could, if not monitored, fall down, or into a room where they could seriously hurt themselves. Wall mounted gates or wall-fix safety gate or stairgate are usually installed by drilling into the surrounding walls Once baby is on the move and ready to explore, they tend to be pretty much unstoppable! Whether newly crawling or walking, it’s essential that your home is made safe with the right pressure-fit stair gate, or wall-mounted child safety gate. Find the perfect baby gate for your stairs to ensure your little one can explore safely and you can have peace of mind! It’s surprising that the Easy Fit Plus Deluxe is essentially Lindam’s entry-level pressure gate: it’s less expensive than the auto-closing Porte and Orto, and less striking to look at than the Deco – but it performs impressively in every metric tested.Once in place, it’s almost immovable – no matter how many children might slam or swing on it. The open-and-close mechanisms are straightforward and can be mastered by older and younger children, while remaining impenetrable to your adventurous toddler. As a pressure-fit gate, the Easy Fit Plus Deluxe is designed for doorways and the bottom of stairs (and can be adapted for spindle banisters with the separate Staircase Fixing Kit). Pressure gates aren’t intended for the top of stairs, as they’re not considered strong enough to be safe up there, and they don’t work in uneven doorways, as the pressure can’t be applied evenly at all points.
