Why it matters
The gate installs without tools and includes four wall cups. A SecureTech indicator on the top rail turns from red to green when the gate is locked. Adults open it one-handed with a two-action handle. It is about 38 in wide and 28 in tall. Safety 1st says never use pressure mode at the top of stairs.
