This stair gate is a disaster. Already during installation you will notice the coarse defects. The templates are wrong, at least for one side, the manual is very poor. The enclosed screws are so short that they hold grademal in plaster. After installation, the grid was difficult for us, the clamping mechanism worked only sometimes (spring builds too little voltage on. Overall, it made no strong impression. I would not even for my pet to use let alone a child. Conclusion: absolutely not recommended, it is worthwhile for the security spending some more money.
