Can you use this gate at the bottom of a staircase?

Yes, and it works great. The bottom of our staircase is 72" wide and it fits well as we mounted it on oak 1x4" boards and run Velcro around the posts so we did not have to drill into the posts.

You wouldn't have to, but we did; because we were installing gates at both the top and bottom of a beautiful wooden staircase. We wanted to be sure the wood of the staircase would be completely protectected. The gates and installation kits worked perfectly...even with all hardwood rails on both sides of the gate. I would recommend researching how other folks did the installation, before buying, that's what we did and the advise/insights were really helpful.

The top of the gate locks and the bottom of the gate has a lever that you can put into place so that the bottom of the gate is not allowed to be pushed in the direction that you select.

This gate is not appropriate for top of stairs. I purchased a different gate for my stairs.

Not sure. We added a piece of trim to the newel post of our stair to satisfy the width requirement and to minimize damaging the post. We are very satisfied with the safety and strength of our installation. We highly recommend this gate. Our grandchildren and elderly parents are safe!

I believe so. We have a bi-level house and this sits under a small stand along side the front door. At times I could move around the corner to go down the second level of stairs and not set it off if I was close enough to the post. Usually just the front door opening or someone standing right in front of it would set it off.

The gate is pretty easy to use and I suspect it will work fine in a doorway that is not exactly, completely square...depending, of course, on how un-square the door in question really is.

Yes knobs screw into the gate so you can adjust the bottom different then the top! Ours is the same way as far as base boards go :)

Hi, Yes, you could, but I think that you would be better off with another product as my gate had just normal use with a 12 lb dog and two hinges/screws came right out.

I don't think so. My gate is not up right now but the spacing was probably about 2-2-1/2 inches. It worked very well for our wide stairwell. The gate was easy to operate with one hand. Worth the money.

Yes. It takes a little time so you may want to look into a pressure mounted gate that opens instead. But I do move this gate regularly.

Wooden sub-floor? Shouldn't have a problem. The device has a low profile, however, you may need to trim the bottom of the door.

Usually yes. Each of the four mounts adjusts individually, so the bottom mounts can be a little closer together than the top mounts. The only time this wouldn't work is if the distance between the baseboards is less than the minimum width of the gate, so measure carefully. (This is an issue I had at the top of my stairs- the distance between the walls was the minimum distance, and the distance between baseboards was too short).

Possibly. You'll need to install a piece of wood or something to attach the one end of the gate too (metal banister side). The directions for this gate are terrible!! I would suggest finding a gate that is tension mounted instead if possible.

we had a couple of hinges that were broke, but the manufacturer replaced those and the safety gate was installed with no problems.. and we havent had any problems with the stairs.. we actually love them and they work great.. i am not sure if you could stake it to the ground or if you would even want to.. it doesnt need it..

The gate does not have to be installed on the floor. You can set the eyelets at any level you want. They suggest close to the floor so pets cant try to get under it and get stuck
