Safety 1st Easy Close Extra Tall Gate 91cm 🚪
Description:
This extra tall metal stair gate from Safety 1st creates a secure barrier at the top or bottom of stairs while avoiding drilling into walls. It suits openings around 73–80 cm and includes a pressure-fit system that allows quick, no-screw installation and one-handed operation for everyday use.
Key Points
The gate is 91 cm high, offering a taller profile than many standard child gates so it helps reduce the chance of toddlers climbing over. It closes easily in both directions, so you can open it with one hand while carrying a child or items, and it re-latches with a push or a firm shut. 🔒
Installation relies on a 4-point pressure fit system with visual indicators to confirm correct placement, which makes fitting straightforward and fast without tools. Consider that the mechanism includes an initial misalignment that corrects as you tighten the over-moulded fixing screws, according to the manufacturer. 🛠️
A double-lock system requires pushing a button and lifting to unlock, adding an extra layer of safety against curious little hands. The gate can also function as a pet barrier for small dogs, maintaining separation between rooms while you supervise from the other side.

Usage Recommendations
Place the gate at the very edge of the stair landing or doorway frame and follow the visual installation indicators to ensure it is level and secure. For wider openings, add the separately sold 7 cm extensions on one or both sides to reach up to a maximum width of 94 cm. Because the gate uses pressure fitting, check the mounting points periodically and re-tighten the over-moulded fixing screws if the initial self-adjustment does not sit flush. ⚠️
For daily handling, make use of the easy closing system to move through the gate while carrying children or items, and engage the double-lock when you need to be sure it stays closed. Note that very uneven wall surfaces or non-standard banister designs may reduce the effectiveness of pressure-fit systems, so these situations may require an alternative fixing method. 🐶.
