Question 1

How do I install the Safety 1st Easy Install Walk-Thru Gate?

Accepted Answer

Measure the opening first to check if extensions are needed, then assemble the gate by sliding the L-frame into the base and adding extensions if required. Place wall cups on each bumper, mark and adhere them to the wall with included adhesives, fit the gate loosely, and tighten the pressure bumpers until the SecureTech indicator turns green, confirming it's secure. It's a pressure-mounted gate designed for quick setup without tools, ideal for doorways or between rooms at the bottom of stairs.[1][2][3]

Question 2

What sizes does the Safety 1st Easy Install Walk-Thru Gate fit?

Accepted Answer

The gate is 28 inches high and adjusts from 29-32 inches wide with the main gate, up to 35 inches with one included extension, and up to 38 inches with two extensions. Always measure your opening to determine if extensions are needed before assembly. It fits most standard doorways and works between rooms or at the bottom of stairs.[3][1]

Question 3

Is the SecureTech indicator enough to ensure the gate is safe for my baby?

Accepted Answer

The SecureTech red-to-green indicator on the top rail shows when the gate is securely locked—green means safe. It's JPMA certified, meets CPSC requirements, and is pressure-installed with wall cups for stability, but never use at the top of stairs to prevent falls. Always double-check the indicator and ensure tight installation for children 6-24 months.[3][2]

Question 4

Can this gate be used for pets, like keeping dogs out of rooms?

Accepted Answer

Yes, the Safety 1st Easy Install Walk-Thru Gate is great for pets too, as noted by users for containing dogs. Its sturdy pressure mount and 28-inch height work well for medium pets, with easy one-hand operation for adults. It's perfect for blocking pets from certain areas while allowing walk-through access.[3][4]

Question 5

How do I remove the Safety 1st Easy Install Walk-Thru Gate without taking down the wall cups?

Accepted Answer

The gate is designed for easy removal: the pressure-mounted design allows you to loosen the bumpers and lift it out while wall cups stay adhered to the wall for reinstallation. This provides flexibility for when the gate isn't needed, without reinstalling each time. Simply reverse the tightening step and store the gate.[3][1]

Question 6

Can I use this gate at the top of the stairs?

Accepted Answer

No, never use this pressure-installed gate at the top of stairs to prevent falls; it's recommended only for bottom of stairs, doorways, or between rooms. Always install with the included wall cups for added security in approved locations. For stair tops, choose a hardware-mounted gate.[3]

Question 7

Do I need any tools to install or adjust the gate size?

Accepted Answer

No tools are required; installation uses pressure bumpers and adhesive wall cups, with extensions assembled by sliding caps into place. Measure first, adhere cups with a pencil mark, and tighten by hand until secure. This makes it renter-friendly and quick for parents.[1][2][4]
