Safety 1st 7 cm Gate Extension for Stair Gates 🚪

This 7 cm gate extension adds extra width to stair and doorway safety gates, helping adapt an existing Safety 1st gate to a slightly wider opening. It fits with several Safety 1st models and offers a push-fit installation that does not require drilling, making it a quick way to increase gate span when you need a small adjustment.

Key Points

This extension is designed to work with Safety 1st SecureTech Metal, Flat Step and Auto Close white stair gates, and it is also compatible with the Easy Close Metal black gate. The piece is supplied in white and provides a neat, matching finish to those gate ranges. Installation is straightforward thanks to the push-fit system, which creates a solid seal without the need for tools, and it can be combined with other extensions to cover wider openings. 🔧

Consider measuring the narrowest point of the opening, typically from skirting to skirting, before choosing extensions. Combining multiple extensions is possible, for example using 7, 14 and 28 cm pieces to reach a variety of widths up to the maximum compatible span indicated by your Safety 1st gate. If you plan to mount the gate on a staircase, remember that a Y-Spindle adapter is recommended for secure assembly and is sold separately. 📏

Usage Recommendations

Measure carefully from the narrowest part of the opening before purchase, as small variations in skirting or wall irregularities can affect fit.

Combining this 7 cm extension with other sizes allows flexible adjustments; plan the combination in advance to avoid over- or under-sizing the gap. ⚙️

Benefits

The main advantage of adding this small extension is convenience. It lets you adapt an existing gate to a slightly wider opening quickly, especially when moving a gate between rooms or after minor renovations. The push-fit mechanism reduces installation time and avoids wall damage from drilling, according to the manufacturer. A minor limitation to note is that this extension is not compatible with the Extra Tall Gate, so verify gate model compatibility before relying on it for larger or taller gate systems.
