FYLO Pressure Fit Stair Gate 2 Pack – Grey, No Drilling, 77-114cm

Read this first: where a pressure gate can and cannot go

Pressure-fit gates must never be used at the top of stairs. They are held in place by tension against the door frame, with no fixed anchor. Under a child's weight — or an adult stumbling into one — a pressure gate can be pushed out of its opening.

At the top of a staircase, use a screw-fit gate. Every gate manufacturer, RoSPA and the Child Accident Prevention Trust say the same thing, and it is the single most important fact about this product.

A pressure gate is suitable for:

• The bottom of stairs
• Doorways between rooms
• Kitchen and hallway openings
• Keeping pets out of a room

What you get

This listing is for a pack of two gates — most homes need at least two, typically one at the bottom of the stairs and one on a kitchen doorway.

• No drilling, screws or tools — tension-fitted in minutes
• One-handed opening, which matters when you're carrying a child
• Dual locking mechanism to prevent accidental opening
• Grey finish

Measuring your opening

Measure the narrowest point of the gap, at the height the gate will sit. Door frames are rarely perfectly parallel.

• 77-86cm — gate as supplied, no extension needed
• 86-93cm — with a 7cm extension
• 93-100cm — with a 14cm extension
• 100-107cm — with both 7cm and 14cm extensions
• 107-114cm — with two 14cm extensions

Choose the option matching your measurement above; extensions are included in the variant you select.

Fitting it correctly

1. Fit against solid, flat surfaces on both sides. Not against skirting boards, radiators, banister spindles or plasterboard without support.
2. Tighten all four pressure pads evenly until the indicators show a secure fit.
3. Push firmly on the gate from both sides before trusting it.
4. Re-check the tension weekly. Pressure fittings loosen with use and with seasonal movement in the frame.

Important safety information

Not for use at the top of stairs. Read and keep the manufacturer's instructions. Check the gate carries a BS EN 1930 mark before use — this is the British and European standard for child safety barriers, and you should verify it on the product itself rather than take a listing's word for it.

A gate is a barrier, not a substitute for supervision. Suitable for children from 6 months to approximately 24 months; once a child can climb it, the gate is no longer effective and may become a hazard. Do not allow children to climb on or swing from the gate. Always close it fully — a gate left ajar is more dangerous than no gate, because it creates false confidence.
