Ideal for non-parallel railings.

In my research, this was the only gate adapter I could find that would allow the gate to be installed between two non-parallel railings (see photo). Easy installation and very durable after installation.

Pros
  • Large Fit For Me
Cons
  • Vulgarity

It works out. I think best in Gates & Gate Extensions

Couldn't find one that works with wrought iron rails so used zip ties here. I think any tree will do in this case, but I don't like returning items. DISCLAIMER If you try this, make sure the zip ties secure the tree on both sides to keep it in place. Also check them from time to time to ensure safety. This is just to keep my toddler from going upstairs. I wouldn't recommend using this for a top of the stair solution.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Doubt

Okay, so this product didn't work on ours overall.

So this product didn't work in our situation. We have wide strides. I bought a very large trellis for the base of our stairs and this product is meant to work together. Unfortunately, not all parts worked for the bottom of our steps. However, the reason I'm giving it three stars is because we ended up using the zip ties that came with the product and they worked great. But remember this won't work unless you use thick end railings (I've tried using small ones).

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Works great for the bottom of the stairs with railings.

Just installed but this product works great. Used it at the bottom of the stairs where we have the railing. Bought Summer Infant's white metal gates to use with it. The gate works for the angel, which is necessary given my stairs. See photo. Installing gates and railings was not difficult. Our railing has a square bottom and a round top, this kit includes the necessary hardware. Sufficient fittings for 2 railings included. I only needed one, the second one will come in handy one day.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Miscellaneous Miscellaneous

It's ok but measure your handrail or finished combo straps!

Each strap is approximately 19 inches long and needs to overlap slightly for it to snap into place. The limitation is probably the 4" square railing as you also have to install the hardware from the kit. Obviously they should promote this key information as I almost want to rate the product 2 stars for lacking such basic details. The product definitely works, but you should be aware that it does not fit all railings. I had to connect two straps together to wrap the perimeter of the railing…

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • A newer model could have been chosen

It would be ideal if it didn't have to be glued to the wood.

I didn't like that it didn't require gluing something to the railing to keep it from moving. It only states that it attaches to straps and includes straps that I found too tight to tighten enough to prevent movement. I ended up using old zip ties from other gates I used that were velcro and fabric and I was able to tighten them without gluing anything to the wood. They also came with soft bumpers to protect the railings. I also think it could be a lighter wood to make it look more natural, but…

Pros
  • Sleek design
Cons
  • Not sure

I bought this to attach a gate to a metal post. Protecting the baby gate can take quite a long time. This product does not necessarily reduce installation time or improve installation stability. On a round stand, the base is likely to rotate slowly. This can be quite dangerous because it can be safe for a few days or weeks and then suddenly fail because it just weakens. I also tried fixing it with silicone tape underneath but it was still slowly spinning over the next few weeks. It is therefore

Pros
  • Permanent test results
Cons
  • Can't remember

Possible lawsuit? on door and stair gates

We have a summer children's railing for children's gate rails, model 07180D, and we have lost the plastic braces that attach the vertical bar to the railing. So we figured buying an all in one railing kit would help. Not quite. As you can see the vertical metal bar we have is much smaller than the hole for the plastic bracket. We also cannot remove the hinges and locking mechanism from our current gates and attach them to the supplied wooden posts. plugged in! I called Summer Infant support and

Pros
  • Great for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Defective

Plan Ahead and Act First

This Railing Fixing Kit was purchased to securely install additional gates at the base of the 2nd floor stairs. Note (in the photo) that the railing in this case is a forged railing. This was a minor issue to get the most out of the mounting kit ordered for the SQUARE railing. Using BOTH surface mount planks of wood, one was strapped to EACH SIDE of the all terrain travel post, creating a square configuration for the straps to attach to. Also note that I added an extra strap at the top of the…

Pros
  • Pretty Package
Cons
  • Some Issues
