Pressure Mount Gates
Pressure mount gates are the most widely used gates as they do not involve drilling. These types of gates are great for use in doorways, hallways, or as room dividers. KidCo’s pressure mount gates come in a wide variety of styles and offer unique features not found on other gates. Please remember, however, that KidCo DOES NOT recommend the use of pressure mount gates for use at the top of stairs.

Q: I don’t want to drill into my walls or staircase, so why cant’ I use a pressure mount gate at the top of my stairs?
A: Some manufacturers do state that their pressure mount gates can be used at the top of stairs when wall mount cups are installed. However, KidCo does not recommend this use at all since pressure mount gates have a cross-bar at the bottom to hold the gate in place and this cross-bar can be a tripping hazard.
