This KidCo Safeway is specifically designed for top-of-stairs use, but it can also be used in hallways or as a room divider. It extends up to 43.75". It helps provide safety at the top of stairs and in high-traffic doorways because there is no bottom threshold to potentially trip over as are found on pressure-mount gates. This heavy-duty steel gate features 1-hand opening for easy in-and-out, and it has a directional stop to prevent it from swinging the wrong way. It is made of heavy-duty steel; mounting equipment is included and tools are required.
