Safety Innovations No Hole Stairway Baby Gate Mounting Kit - Fits Posts from 2 3/4 inches to 3 1/2 inches Wide with Square or Round Tops - No Adhesives On Or Screws in Your Posts, (1-Pack)

We needed to install one of those curtain style baby gates at the bottom of our stairs. Issue is they require a flat wall on both sides. We only have a flat wall on one side and then a fancy rounded banister on the other side. The adhesive parts just aren't going to stick to it. Don't want to drill into it either. Then I found this kit. The kit is really straight forward to install. The good part is you can easily replace the wood that comes with it if needed. The piece that came with it worked great for mounting the hook ends of the curtain gate. It feels durable, doesn't move when I shake it. We'll see how it holds up in the long run. Only issue is it looks ugly, haha. Its not permanent though and serves a purpose so that's whatever.

4 huskies. Easy to install. Prevents them from running down the stairs

The item arrived on time and was in good shape with no parts missing. I should say first off that this was purchased to install a Regalo Top of Stairs gate to keep a dachshund puppy in the family room. The bottom clamp went on without an issue however, the top clamp was intended to install on the round part of the oak railing post, and the post was too wide at the top to allow the included round post clamps to be bolted up. I went into the shop and found a piece of thick rubber gasket and cut it to fit into the flat clamp. I installed the upper clamp and it fit good with the rubber gasket, and one of the round post adapters. It probably would have been nicer to have two longer bolts supplied, but I understand they can't anticipate how wide the round part of the post is. The rest of the installation was a breeze and soon I was installing the Regalo gate. I am glad I found this adapter so I didn't have to drill holes into the nice Oak post on the railing. The other side of the wall is sheetrock, and that is easy to repair when the bracket is installed. All in all it was a great purchase and, with a little bit of modification, works perfectly.

This is a game changer! Works great easy to install. We have skinny square stairs and we used the “round” stair connector and it works perfectly. Sent an email to the company to recieve bottom pieces as it only comes with one of the inner circle round inserts. And that was easy. It looks great well I mean for what it does lol it functions, and is secure.

Product came with all parts. I did need a second set of hands to “hold this real quick while I drill this hole,” but that was no problem. Wood this comes with is nice and flat. Product works great with the hardware mount gate I bought. I’m very happy with my purchase. Just make sure you have a drill and proper bit so you can drill the pilot holes. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to save holes from going into their bannister that plan on using a hardware mounted gate which is exactly what I needed for the top of my stairs. Sturdy when assembled as well.

It’s perfectly fitting the space

The system works. We've had it in place for a year, and it keeps our dog out of the basement. Our oak railing/banister has trim at different heights on each side, with a handrail in the way on one side. We were able to cut the wood in the kit to different lengths for each side, and the gate system we bought is still firmly secured after a year with no problems-- and I've banged into the gate pretty hard. I stained the wood pieces so they blend in with the existing wood. Yes, you may have to do a little custom work depending on the size of your posts, but the only tool I used was a hacksaw for a clean cut.

First of all, the directions are quite unclear. After some time trying to figure out what piece was what, I finally attached the right pieces together. It's easy enough, but thats exactly my point. With such an easy set up, I don't think I should have to guess around what piece should go with what. It should state so clearly in the directions. Furthermore, the screws that come with the kit were too long. They went through the wood plank, through the wooden blocks and into my bannister. The entire purpose of this was to protect my bannister. Maybe it was just my kit, but the screws definitely screwed into my bannister. I know this because when I finally said "f this" and tried taking the kit apart, ALAS the kit was screwed directly into my bannister. Lastly, I broke my thumb attempting to put this thing together. I admit this may entirely have been user-error and not the kit, but as I was drilling in one of the screws (that were evidently too long anyway) through the plastic cover and into the wooden blocks, the screw snapped and the drill went into my thumb. I spent six hours in the ER after that. Yes, very fun. I'm on antibiotics now and I have to leave my thumb in a stupid looking cast. So like I said, maybe it was just my kit that was faulty. I'm sure it worked fine for other people, and all of this may have entirely been user error but I definitely will NOT be buying this product again. -Hot Mess Mom

Fits easily to the bannister at top of stairs. Provides stable anchor point for our child safety gate at top of the stairs.

This was very misleading. For one I didn't think I would have to pay 60 dollars plus shipping for just a piece of ugly wood and some screws...Not to mention that there is no actual gate that comes with it. When I tried to take it back to the postal office I was asked to pay another $35. dollars to return it. So now I am stuck with some garbage and never ever using Amazon again. I spent $185 dollars on things that I will literally never use. And if you are wondering why I will not return it...It's because of the ridiculous amount of shipping I would have to pay. I am so disgusted by the things I received. I will not be using Amazon ever again. And, I will never recommend this website.

These brackets work well and make a solid anchor point without damaging the newel post.
