Pressure-fit stair gate with an ultra-flat step-over bar and one-hand opening. Double-lock system and visual indicators add an extra layer of security.
Low trip risk – Thanks to ultra flat step-over bar
Extra thin step-over bar reduces the threshold profile at floor level, removing a raised obstruction that can catch feet. Design intention is to lower the chance of stumbling when passing over the gate.
Safer passage for toddlers and adults in busy hallways, making everyday movement less awkward and reducing trip hazards.
Quick, non-invasive setup – With 4-point pressure-fit installation
Four-point pressure fitting secures the frame by tightening over-moulded fixing screws into the gate frame, eliminating the need for screws or drilling. Self-adjusting design corrects initial misalignment as the fixing screws are tightened.
Fast installation without tools preserves doorframes and paintwork, and allows removal without leaving holes or damage.
Flexible coverage and access – Thanks to extendable panels and Keep Open system
Gate fits openings of 73–80 cm without extra parts and can reach up to 101 cm with separately sold 7 cm or 14 cm extensions. Keep Open system allows the gate to remain open, with close-assist and one-hand opening in both directions.
Adaptable to a variety of openings and convenient for adults carrying items, saving repeated handling while supervising children or pets.
