You don`t have to sell your house when baby arrives just because your stairs are too wide for most gates (admit it you`ve considered calling the realtor). The North States Extra Wide Stairway Swing Gate expands to over five feet wide to protect your little one from nasty tumbles. The gate securely attaches to the wall with 4-point steel mounting hardware safely addressing your housing concerns so you can stay put and keep decorating the nursery.Although this gate features a childproof lock adult s will find it easy to operate with just one hand - a plus since your other will probably be carrying a baby. The gate swings in out or both ways with the swing control hinge. Made from sturdy wood with an elegant slatted design this gate won`t be an eyesore like some white plastic versions. The gate removes from its hardware mount for storage when your child learns to use the stairs; simply reattach it when your next bundle of joy needs protecting.
