Measure Once. It Fits.
Most gates get returned for one reason: the opening was measured in the wrong place. Measure at the narrowest point — usually skirting board to skirting board, not frame to frame. If that number falls between 75cm and 82cm, this gate fits. Outside that range, this isn't the gate for you, and we'd rather you knew now than after it arrives.
Not a Single Hole in Your Wall
The four-point pressure frame holds by tension alone — no screws, no drill, no filler and paint when you take it down. Renting, in a listed building, or just not keen on drilling into a freshly painted wall? It goes up in five minutes and comes off leaving nothing behind.

Works Just as Well on the Dog
Keep pets out of the kitchen at dinner, off the sofa, or settled in one room when guests arrive. The 60cm walk-through is wide enough to carry a food bowl through, and the steel frame won't budge when a determined spaniel leans on it.
FAQs
How do I measure my opening?
Measure at the narrowest point, which is almost always skirting board to skirting board rather than the door frame itself. Measure at the height the gate will sit. If your number is between 75cm and 82cm, this gate fits as supplied. We don't offer extensions for this model, so if you're outside that range you'll need a wider gate.
Is it certified?
Yes. This gate has been independently tested to BS EN 1930, the British and European safety standard for child safety barriers. Plenty of gates carry vague "European standards" wording without ever naming one — we're happy to name ours.
Will it damage my walls or skirting?
No. It holds by tension across four contact pads and comes off without a mark, which makes it a sensible choice for rented homes. On freshly painted or delicate surfaces, wall protector cups are worth adding.
What about the bottom bar?
There's a threshold bar across the base, just 3cm high — that's what gives a pressure gate its rigidity. It's low enough to step over without thinking, but worth knowing about if anyone in the house has mobility difficulties.
How long will my child use it?
Suitable from crawling to around 24 months. Stop using it as soon as your child can climb over — that's the guidance for every pressure-fit gate, not just this one. Never stack two gates on top of each other.
What's in the box?
The gate, assembled and ready to fit, plus the fixing tools and instructions. Gate height 76cm, walk-through opening 60cm, fits openings 75–82cm. White only.

Cant beat it
Really good product. I did buy others, but returned them to keep these. Really easy to operate and highly functional. They were also extremely easy to put together. Fits really well and my twins haven’t yet worked out how to open it - which is a huge win.
