⚡ At a Glance
- • Safety Mechanism: Four-point pressure fit with double-lock and visual installation indicators
- • Best for: Parents and pet owners wanting a no-drill, extra-tall barrier
- • Not ideal for: Openings narrower than 73 cm, unless adapted with different hardware
Four-point pressure fitting secures the frame without screws, aided by over-moulded fixing screws for self-adjustment. Double-lock action uses a push-and-lift motion and visible indicators for safer installation.
Screw-free, secure fitting, with a 4-point pressure fit system
Pressure fitting uses four contact points to distribute tension across the frame, avoiding stress on walls. Over-moulded fixing screws allow initial alignment to self-adjust as the frame is tightened.
Secure anchoring without drilling keeps walls intact and allows quick removal when needed. Ideal for rented homes or anyone who prefers a non-permanent solution.
Fuss-free access for busy hands, with an easy closing system
Dual-direction opening works with a single-hand operation and the closure accepts both a gentle push and a quick slam. A two-step double-lock requires pressing a button and lifting to open.
Carrying a child upstairs remains manageable while keeping the barrier locked to curious toddlers. The double-lock reduces accidental openings by young children.
Higher barrier and pet-friendly use, with an extra-tall 91cm metal frame
Metal bars form a 91cm high barrier that increases the vertical challenge for climbers and provides clear sightlines for supervision. Width can be extended using separately sold 7cm extensions up to a 94cm maximum.
Extra height helps deter climbing toddlers and contains small dogs reliably, while visibility through the bars makes monitoring straightforward. Extensions adapt the width for wider stairways or openings.

Suitable for parents and pet owners who need a tall, non-permanent barrier for stairs and doorways.
