Can this be used when you have one wall and one wood (round) banister, without drilling holes into the bannister?

Yes probably. If you install it precisely. It has a tension pressure lock with rubber grommet looking things at the end that will press against the round bannister. As long as you don't have an extremely large dog jumping on it it should work. Ours presses against a bare wall and it work very well. We love it because it swings open beautiful. Hopefully it works for you.

Not if it isn't an even surface. We have 2 of these gates and they don't work well at all for us. The bottom of our stairs the banister is thicker at the bottom than the top and this gate doesn't adjust for that.

I don't use it this way, but tested it out on my stairs. I think it could be done if your banister is wide enough.
155459
yes, it has two round rubber stoppers that you can push up against the banister or the wall and lock it. There is also harware to use it in the alternative manner of drilling

I think it would depend on how big the banister is, if it is small the gate might not have enough surface to grip it.

That's how I used it on my set up, had to Velcro a piece of oak wood the same width of my banister. I then put a small strip of wood on the wall to attach the gate to. Worked great for all 3 of my kids. The gate could swing open easily when I needed to get through also. When kids grow up remove wood from velco\ Banister (No Marks) Removed wood strip from wall, a little putty to cover the screw holes, and it was like it was never there.

It is single walled and I would not but another unless it was double walled. Hope that helps.

We used a home made solution of bolting two boards around our banister and then securing the gate to that. We've had it up for several years and it's been rock solid. I think the company makes a kit you can use to do something similar:

Haven't tried that but it should work - the back of the unit is flat. Not sure if the wood might split when drilling..?

No. You would damage the walls with any type of fastener. My solution was to use a piece of plywood on the floor and put a shelf unit on it. Works just fine and I have the option to rearrange the inside easier.

The part that goes around the banister is able to be sized to your banister. It is two separate pieces so you can make it as tight or as loose as needed.

I guess you could since it is flat and there are no holes. I never thought of trying to use it for that but should work.

Yes, it can be mounted in a single hole without the 3 hole base plate. The swivel action is still active and can not be disabled or fixed in one position.

I was able to attach it to the banister on one side and then used a wooden block the thickness of the molding on the wall side to make the gate even. On another one I was able to just use the screws that extend on the wall side to make up for the difference between the molding and the wall.

So you have to bolt them side by side on the wall. No way to bolt them together with out loosing floor space. But u can put the rack back to back drilling one hole in the middle. Using a.bolt., washer & loose floor space

Yes, as a matter of fact I used the one that ended up having the messed up holes as a broom and mop closet on one side. I couldn't fit my shampooer in it though, it is a rather large one.

We used it with a gate that my husband made. He had to make some adaptations, but it is working great and we didn't have to drill holes in the stair newel.

No, you need an additional part that squares off the roundness of the banister.

It's not meant for a rack or junction box. It is meant to be wall-mounted independently of other devices. The mounting holes should be spaced for standard stud mounting or you can use anchors appropriate for your wall material.

I have an angled banister. I cut the plastic in half and used it. It works fine

Yes sort of. It can be mounted using only one stud. Becasue of where I wanted to put it on the wall it would not be centered with two studs. It gives you an option to mount with just one stud. Check the Omnimont website for directions. It was in the directions.

We did not have to drill a hole. It's been up for a year and we've had no problems but I won't really know how well it protected the banister until we take it off which will be quite a few more years I hope.
