Dreambaby Auto Close Gate makes it so much easier to keep your children out of harm’s way. With auto close feature and its double locking system, this attractive pressure mounted gate is easy to install. Suitable for stairs also, you can feel peace of mind knowing your child is safer. Versatile indeed, it will fit openings of 28”-32.” Additional extensions sold separately for wider spaces up to 111.” This Dreambaby pressure-mounted gate is easily installed and for most situations there is no need to screw holes into woodwork or walls unless used at the top of stairs where the mounting cups must be screwed in for added security. Great for pets too!

Q:Can this gate be used safely at top of stairs? (Wall mounted)

A:

There are these small “cups” that can be screwed into the wall or post (the gate then pressure mounts into these cups) and these supposedly make the gate safe for the top of the stairs. But, I personally wouldn’t do this and would get a different type of gate.

Q:I would like a gate that does not automatically swing shut. Is there a way to tighten the hinges on the door to make it stay open when you open it??

A:

No, the gate will always try to close.Pivot point more than hinges.

Q:What is the noise like? I will be using in a high traffic area and i don’t want to hear a clanking every time the door closes.

A:

It is loud if you let it close on it’s own, but you can lift it up and set it down to close quietly.

Q:I have a 32 1/4″ opening do I still need the extension

A:

No. My door opening is 30″ and I don’t have the extensions

Q:Hi I would like to enquire on the dimension of the packaging as i am calculating freight charges as I am using 3rd party forwarder to export to spore.

A:

Packaging was a single box. Abt 28″ wide x 3 inches thick x 30 tall. I dont remember weight…but is light.
Hope that helps.

Q:What is the space between the bars at the largest point (in inches)? I am trying to find a gate that will work both for baby and for my chihuahua.

A:

two and a quarter inches between bars- works great with my small dogs

Q:We are about to put our gate back up for baby number two. Anyone know where to get extra rubberized pads for the end of the tension bolts?

Q:possible that a toddler could open this gate from the bottom? bought $80 kidco gate that my daughter figured out how to open from the bottom at 13 mo

A:

kids are smart! The way the gate functions to open is by pulling the gate upwards(this happens via the hinge mechanism) and then opening by swinging in either direction(inward or outward). There is a “latch” that also works well to keep shut provided it is set up properly between the door frame

Q:What extension would I need for this to fit a 72 in opening?

A:

There’s a larger one available, ie, for wider openings. But since this one says it fits up to 32″ you’d need at least 40″ of extension.

Q:How wide is the actually doorway that you walk through? I am pregnant and having difficulty navigating tight spaces…thanks!

A:

I measured it at 18″ open. No family member (all under 150 lbs, except myself at 196 lbs) has had a problem using it. Although if a person was of abnormally large stature, like 250 lbs or more, then there may be an issue. Average pregnant woman, shouldn’t be a problem…

 

Q:How tall is this?

A:

Just went and measured. 29-30″.

Q:How wide is this?

A:

It fits doorways between 28″-32″ the thing that fixes the gate into your door way can be adjusted so that it fits any door frame between 28″-32″

Q:has anyone used this outside? we want to block stairs that go down from our deck.

A:

I would imagine it would work as long as you oil the hinges periodically.

Q:Does it swing both ways?

A:

It swings both ways

Q:Is there transported to Taiwan? Shipping how much money?

A:

We do not have the ability to ship internationally on Amazon, but other sellers might. Thanks for writing.

Q:Will it work with a banister?

A:

Yes, I have mine attached to a banister on one side. You have to purchase the Y-shaped banister adapters separately though. I’m a big fan of this gate!
