Hands remain free while carrying babies or laundry, making daily comings and goings quicker and less fiddly.

Secure Locking – Thanks to double-lock system

Curious toddlers face an extra barrier before opening, giving carers greater peace of mind during play and supervision.

Flexible Fit – With expandable extensions and round-rail option

Designed for 73–80 cm openings out of the box and extendable up to 136 cm using separately sold 1 cm, 7 cm or 28 cm extensions; a Y-spindle accessory enables installation on round stair railings up to 5 cm diameter.
