Why the right gate matters
Not all baby gates are designed for every space.
This is especially important at the top of stairs, where using the wrong gate can actually increase the risk.
Pressure-mounted gates might feel secure but they rely on pressure alone and often include a bottom bar, which creates a trip hazard.
Choosing the right gate and installing it correctly, makes a big difference.
Why we recommend this gate
The Flexi Fit Gate is one of our go-to options for stairways and high-risk areas.
It’s designed to be hardware mounted, meaning it’s fixed into the wall for a much stronger, more reliable hold.
It also has no bottom bar, making it a safer option for the top of stairs where clear access is critical.
Where to use it
We recommend this gate for:
- Top of stairs (most important)
- Bottom of stairs
- Hallways and high traffic areas
- Doorways where a secure fix is needed
If it’s a high risk area, a hardware mounted gate is the safest option.
Installation tips (important)
For this gate to work properly, correct installation is key.
✔ Must be fixed into solid surfaces (studs, brick, or door frame)
✔ Can be mounted inside an opening or onto a frame
✔ Ensure fittings are tightened and checked regularly
Installing into plasterboard alone can compromise safety.
Sizing & fit
The Flexi Fit Gate is designed to be adaptable to different openings.
- Fits approx. 67–105.5cm when installed inside the opening
- Outer mounting (onto a frame) may slightly reduce the maximum width
If you’re unsure about sizing, it’s worth checking before purchasing.
Our experience (from Mitch & Holly)
This is one of the most common gates we install.
We recommend it often because:
- It’s reliable
- It’s flexible across different homes
- And most importantly, it’s safe for stairs when installed correctly
A lot of issues we see with gates come down to using the wrong type, not the gate itself.

Frequently asked questions
The Flexi Fit Gate offers exceptional versatility with its ability to be mounted inside, outside, or diagonally in a door frame, making it suitable for awkward spaces and non-standard openings. It opens both ways for convenience, has no bottom bar making it safe for stairways without trip hazards, and can be removed in seconds without tools when needed. This Australian and European safety standards-approved gate combines flexibility with robust security.
The Flexi Fit Gate fits openings from 67cm to 105.5cm when mounted inside the opening. If you choose to mount it on the door frame itself, the maximum opening size will be approximately 5cm smaller. The gate stands 69.5cm high, providing effective containment for babies and toddlers while being easy for adults to step over or operate.
Yes, absolutely! The Flexi Fit Gate is specifically designed for staircase safety. Unlike pressure-mounted gates, it’s a hardware-mounted gate that secures firmly to the wall or door frame, and critically, it has no bottom bar that could create a dangerous trip hazard at the top of stairs. This makes it one of the safest options for stairway installation, meeting strict Australian and European safety standards.
The gate requires hardware mounting (drilling into walls or door frames) for secure installation, which we highly recommend having professionally done for maximum safety. However, once installed, the gate can be removed from its mounting hardware in seconds without any tools, making it perfect for households where the gate may need to be temporarily removed for moving furniture or when not needed.
We offer a complete range of safety gates to suit every home and need. For wide openings up to 140cm or outdoor areas, our Mesh Retractable Gate features durable mesh that retracts to the side with no trip hazard. If you prefer no drilling required, the Pressure Mounted Gate offers quick installation and easy relocation, ideal for renters or temporary barriers. For homes seeking maximum versatility, the 3 in 1 Gate can be configured and extended to meet a variety of safety needs in different locations. Our Sydney experts can help you choose the perfect gate for each location in your home.
Professional installation ensures the gate is securely mounted to studs or solid mounting points, not just plasterboard, which is critical for safety, especially on staircases. Our Sydney-based experts assess your specific opening, determine the best mounting position (inside, outside, or diagonal), ensure the gate is level and operates smoothly, and verify it meets safety standards. Proper installation is essential for long-term protection and peace of mind.
Yes, the Flexi Fit Gate swings open in both directions, which is incredibly convenient for high-traffic areas. This means you can push it open from either side without having to walk around, making it easier when you’re carrying a baby, laundry, or shopping. The two-way opening also makes it more practical for irregular spaces where one direction might be blocked by furniture or walls.
Yes, the gate is suitable from when your baby becomes mobile (around 6-8 months) until approximately 24 months or when your child reaches about 90cm tall or can climb over the 69.5cm height. The gate meets strict Australian and European safety standards, ensuring it can withstand determined toddlers while providing reliable containment as your child grows and becomes more adventurous.
