Evenflo Easy Walk Thru Top Of Stairs Gate features Removable Swing Stop: prevents gate from swinging out over stairs Red/Green Lock Indicator: shows if gate is properly locked One-hand release handle: easy for parents, but too difficult for children

The Easy Walk Thru Top of Stair gate helps parents keep their children safe from common household dangers, especially around the stairs. The four point hardware mount provides a secure and easy top-of-stair mounting for your home. Depending on how you set the swing control, the gate will swing in one or both directions to prevent swinging over the stairs. To use the child-resistant, one-handed Lever Loc mechanism, simply squeeze the buttons and push down to open. This will allow you to pass-through the gate quickly and easily, but the two motions to unlock the gate will be too difficult for baby. To close and lock the gate, just give the door a gentle push and watch the slam-latch feature take over. A quick glance at the red-green lock indicator will tell you if the gate is securely locked. The neutral styling blends well with any home decor.

Q:Can the gate be installed at an angle?

A:

No

Q:The product details does not state if the span in adjustable… what’s the min and max distance this gate can mount to?

A:

Yes gate is adjustable. Dimensions I’m not 100% but I believe that info is on evenflos website. The larger doorway opening we used this gate for is 42″ and there was still room to go for a wider opening.

Q:What is the size of the opening between the vertical bars? Would anyone have an exact measurement?

A:

2.5 inch gaps

Q:Instrxns say not to mount into drywall (stud needed). Any way to make it secure enough if we don’t have studs? Would wall anchors work?

A:

Yes, I used the plastic anchors you screw in with a drill/screwdriver.

Q:Is this gate expandable? Or is it fixed at 42 inches? I am looking for something for a 30inch wide opening

A:

It slides into itself, so can go smaller than 42″.

Q:Can the main portion of the gate be removed from the wall easily for storage when not in use?

A:

Yes. it comes off easily. So easily that my toddlers can take it off by themselves. Do yourself a favor and do not get this gate. It is horrible.

Q:Does this gate automatically shut? Thank you.

A:

no

Q:What are the heights of the hardware attachment points? We have really tall crown moulding on the bottom (half wall) and need to make sure it works?

A:

The lower one is about 8 inches, but you can mount it higher off the ground – as long as the baby/toddler does not crawl underneath

Q:How tall is the gate itself (before installation)? 29, 30, 31, 32 inches…?

A:

The gate is 28 inches, when installed its 31 inches. Hope this helps you.

Q:can the gate open all the way so it can be kept against the wall when not being used?

A:

Yes, it can. Just make sure it’s level when you install it and you’ll have no problems.

 

Q:Can It be Pressure Mounted or do you have to mount it to the wall with Hardware?

A:

It must be mounted to the wall with hardware. It’s a very nice gate tho!

Q:Is there a bottom bar when the door is opened? Doesn’t look like it, but want to confirm. Thanks!

A:

No bottom bar. Legit gate, tricky for adults who visit but a great gate.

Q:can the stop on this gate be set so that it can open in either direction?

A:

Yes, you can install the tab for one way or take it off and the gate will swing both ways
