Pressure-mounted gate, 30 to 46 inches

As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

What it is

A pressure-mounted gate that closes itself, for an opening about 30 to 46 inches. It is for a doorway or the bottom of the stairs, not the top.

Pros

  • No holes in the trim if pressure is the right mount for that opening.
  • Auto-close is the feature you notice after the tenth trip to the kitchen.
  • The width range is printed. Measure anyway.

Cons

  • Pressure gates are not for the top of a staircase.
  • An opening outside that range will not be fixed by leaning on it.

Who it's for

A doorway, or the bottom of the stairs, inside the width.

Who should skip it

You need hardware at the top of the stairs, or the opening is wider.

How it compares

Walk-through baby gate

The walk-through gate is the one adults step through all day, in a slightly different width. Measure both openings before you pick a model.
