Child safety gates
Wondering which child safety gate to buy? Here's a lowdown on the different types by fix and usage to help you decide.
Pressure fit safety gates
A u-shaped frame, fixed by pressure of the fittings against your wall or doorframe.
- Easy to install, no drilling required.
- Won't leave marks when removed.
- They have a frame, so not suitable for use at the top of the stairs.
- Some have a pressure indicator to tell you it's installed correctly.
Screw fit safety gates
Attached to fittings that are screwed into your wall or doorframe. The gate does not have a frame or bottom bar.
- Very strong.
- Frameless so can be used at the top of the stairs.
- Will leave holes or marks in the wall when removed.
Room gates
Safety gates can also be used to block access to certain rooms where there may be hazards, such as your fireplace, kitchen or utility area.
- Opens in either direction.
- Some have a stopper so can be locked to open only one way for use on stairs.
Measuring your safety gates
Always measure your space from the narrowest part, including skirting boards and doorframes. All safety gates are sized to fit within a width range - make sure you check the product details and the doorframe size to find the best fit.
Wide safety gates
Wide staircase or doorframe? No problem. Designed to fit larger spaces, they're sturdy, easy to install and provide a secure barrier for your little adventurers.
Extendable safety gates
Easy to install and adjust, they fit various openings in your home. Since they're adjustable, check the min and max dimensions to make the right choice.

A note about pets
It's hard to tell how pets will react to your new arrival, so it's best to take some precautions. Dogs can be curious, and get a little jealous, so try to give them special attention where possible. Cats can be quite blasé (as usual), but sometimes like to get close to the cot or crib for warmth. It's best to never leave baby and pets together unsupervised, and use safety gates to keep them separated at other times. You should also keep pet toys, food, beds and litter trays out of reach of little hands.
