I knew these gates were perfect before I bought them as I was able to use them at a friends house who also has a 1 year old like me. I bought them for the stairs, 1 at the top, 1 at the bottom. I wanted something I knew was secure for the staircase but convenient since people would be passing through frequently, and without having to step over them. You don't have to screw the mounts into the walls because there's a double sided adhesive that you attach at the pressure mounted ends. Plus I have an old house with original wood work and trim so I can adjust the tops differently than the bottoms to account for the trim without sacrificing a secure hold. They are perfect and keep my son from crawling up or falling down the stairs.

Excellent gate-this is my fourth purchase of this same gate. It has worked so well in all the areas that are needed. Very easy closure, sturdy and durable. We have two dogs, very strong medium size and large boxer as well as children. These gates have been the best investment! You won't be sorry!
