Is the S12 better than the B17?

Both are hardware-mounted and trip-free. However, the Boundless S12 is our stability upgrade. It features a vertical support bar that makes the gate feel sturdier and more balanced than the classic B17.

Can this gate be used as a dog gate for stairs?

Absolutely. The S12 is one of our strongest dog gates. Its reinforced hinge side is specifically designed to handle the weight and impact of large dogs.

Why is a hardware-mounted gate safer for the top of stairs?

Safety experts at Nationwide Children's Hospital recommend hardware-mounted gates for stairs because they won't slip or collapse. The S12's no-bottom-bar design further eliminates tripping hazards.

Does this baby gate require drilling holes?

Yes, this is a hardware-mounted baby gate. It must be screwed into the wall or banister to ensure a secure fit. This installation method is stronger than pressure mounting and allows for the no-trip bar feature, making it perfect for maximizing safety.

Yes, all sizes feature our auto-close and stay-open design for convenience.
