BabyDan MultiDan, 62.5-106.8 cm, Extendable Stair Gate/Baby Gate/Safety Gate, Metal, White, Made in Denmark - (Pet Gate/Dog gate)

With the help of my parents we installed two of these baby gates.We didn't use the instruction manual because the company recommends using the App Onbox and they give you the code 5731 so you are able to follow video instructions. Onbox allows you to see each step in video form which you can watch as many times as you need to, it also allows you to look back and forward to any of the steps that you need.A massive help was from a review I read by Caj3 who said to first do the hinge side, mark it up and screw in the plastic hinge pieces first, then make up the gate to the correct width and then line up the opening plastic pieces using the gate whilst hanging on the wall.This was the best piece of advice! If I had done it the way the instructions say I'm not sure the gate would have lined up. It's an easier and definitely a more fool proof method of installing the baby gates.It took roughly 3 hours, but as I said we installed two gates and two of of the four of us are disabled, although we all chipped in at some stage 😁.The big question is will they stay put when my 18 month old Granddaughter comes to stay?!At this time they seem very strong and I opened and closed them loads of times to make sure I can do it one handed and they open and close very easily.They move on the hinges beautifully with no noise, even the gate that stretches across a 102cm gap swings on the hinges silently and opens and closes brilliantly.I also love that you can remove them when they are not needed.ATM I'm very impressed with these baby gates.I'm incredibly grateful to Caj3's review that suggested doing the hinge side first, fab advice!!

Easy to fix and very good product quality

Second Babydan stairgate I've bought as I was so impressed with the first. This is the "multidan" extending version...I had the fixed width one before. Fitted a 2" batten on the wall each side.......... it looks nicer I reckon and the batten also makes it a lot easier to fit the screws as I was only going into wood. When you open the fittings pack, be careful with the "piece" that locks/unlocks the gate....... if you press it when it's not mounted, it comes apart and you can easily lose the small plastic "plate" and spring..... in fact in my box, it had already come apart and I was wondering where this spring and plate had come from. Its a bit fiddly to fit so don't rush it............... I'm pretty good with DIY and with fixing/painting the batten, a good couple of hours. works beautifully... feels pretty sturdy.......... easy to open for adults but difficult for toddlers. Template works well for the hinge side............ make sure they're positioned correctly and there won't be any problems that some people seem to have experienced with it lifting off the hinges. I didn't bother with the template for the other side........... just swing the gate across, with the 2 sections bolted together in the final positions, to the "closed" position.............. then position the top/bottom supports so they sit correctly in the gate supports, mark their exact position and screw them in place. I have read of people just using the template and the gate has been slightly twisted so they then had to reposition and redrill all the holes.

I have been pleased with these safety gates so far. The product came packaged well and feels built to last.I have been researching safety gates for a while every since our little one started climbing the stairs. I wanted to get ones without the bottom rail as it can be a trip hazard, which meant I couldn't get the pressure fit ones. These gates you have to drill in but didn't have a bottom rail so there is no obstruction at the top or bottom of the stairs. You can also completely remove the gate door quite easily when your child doesn't need it anymore and just leave the attachments fixed on the wall/stair frame.Installing the gates was pretty straight forward. I read from some reviews that the drilling template provided isn't accurate so I didn't use it. However, when i did line it up it did look accurate to me. Once installed the gates work well. I would recommend using some grease as it makes the whole opening and closing operation a lot smoother. You may also want to attach a door buffer/cushion pad on the gate as continuous opening the gate and allowing it to hit the wall will leave a mark.What lets this product down for me is the stop pins provided that restrict the gate to open in one direction rather than both. They are just pieces of plastic provided that slot into a hole but which over a few uses fall out and become a choking hazard for little ones. Only thing you can do is to try to permanently glue the stop pin in.Overall though I have been pleased with this purchase.

Good quality gate looks second hand no instructions but have one already so not a problem if I was not in a rush I would probably have asked for a replacement but happy with it

Really like this, we’re in the middle of renovating our kitchen and one of our twins has just started crawling RAPIDLY and keeps trying to follow me to the kitchen 😂 our house is mostly a rustic type decor so I wanted a wooden gate. The gap is 100cm for the kitchen ‘’door’ and it fits perfectly. No big gaps in the middle or sides, looks great, very sturdy x
