Can this gate be adjusted to fit a 41-1/2" space at the top of my stairs? I need a gate that's safe and adequate to protect a 15 month old toddler.

No! Evenflow indicates this should never be used at the top of the stairs: Product Specifications * Use only on openings between 29" (74 cm) and 39.5" (100 cm) wide. * For use in doorways, hallways and bottom of stairs. Ideal for high traffic areas. * Never use at the top of the stairs.

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

The gate is pretty heavy, so if your children are small, they wont be able to move it. It's easy to step over if your an adult or tall child.

There probably isn't any baby gate that is pressure mounted that will withstand a child's pushing at it with their legs. Your only alternative is to screw mount the gate.

I also say no. I am surprised to see that the product description states that this gate would work for a 55" doorway. Fully extended I measure about 53", just as the previous poster did.

This gate is very versatile and would fit an entrance within the 3ft 6 inches range to 3ft 8 inches. I had mine mounted on the first step of my staircase and not at the base. However this gate can be adjusted well to suit any length you want to achieve. I'm not too handy so I got a handy man to do it for me.

The product description says it will fit and opening from 29-1/2" to 35". I believe my staircase opening is 32" and this gate fits well without the extension. You can see my installation at this link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/customer-gallery/AHLYPNMRTEG6E/ref=cm_pdp_imgs_all Munchkin also sells extensions separately for this gate to make it go past the stated 35" limit. I hope this helps.

Yes. You can adjust screw to any size. I have it on my stairs and it is wider on top and more nerrow. The screws about 2" wide. Great quality and nice looking gate :)

Ours can't swing over the stairs. It's an amazing gate. Our 4yr old can't open it and isn't able to climb it.

Yes, I think so. If the stagger from top to bottom is no more than 4 inches. The gate is not a pressure gate but it has screws that press against the wall. Easy to install -- no holes in the walls or anything. We like ours. Lets the cats in but he dog stays in the room.

The safety gate is 41 inches tall and can fit openings between 29-1/2 and 34 inches wide. It also includes a 6-inch extension kit to increase the width up to 40 inches.

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!

The gate has to be mounted a few inches off the ground or else it won't open easily. I had a similar issue. I bought a Stairway Gate Installation Kit so I could mount the gate on the banister side of my stairs. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000P007FI/ref=oh_details_o00_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hello,This gate has an extension that opens between 44 to 72 inches wide. I believe it will fit your doorway.Thank youBabyhaven

I tried this in an opening that is 39 inches. It was not stable enough to suit me even at that width. I bought it to keep a large dog from jumping over an existing gate, but ended up putting the old one back.

thats what we had to do, my husband says that 3inches is probably the most offset they could be. If we understand what you are describing. Our walls were not even across, there is about a 2 inch difference in the walls. This is the second gate that we have installed, the first one we have had for 5 years. We liked it so much we got another to use for the basement stairs. The first was used on the landing of the stairs going up. It's been great for our grandkids and our dogs!

We use ours at the top of the stairs and have never had an issue. We have an extra-wide staircase, so this is the only gate that works for the size.

I would say it is a combination of the reasons Amy and Cheryl gave. Although it fits snugly, it is possible to move the gate given a moderate amount of force. Plus the need to lift a foot to depress the foot pedal, could result in a very unbalanced step through, and potential fall when combined with the top step of a stairway.
