can this be use instead of a staircase on a door frame???

i'm sure it could you would just have to adjust the mounting pieces accordingly.

If the question is "Can it be used on a door frame that leads to stairs, I would think so, depending on what the door jam looks like. When the door is closed, is there an additional inch or two of flat wood? You would need about an inch of width to mount the door. You would need this space on both sides of the door frame (i.e., the side with your door hinges, and the side the door latches to.

Yes a doorway should work fine. You just need to be able to screw it into the frame solidly.

If the size of the opening works, I wouldn't see why you couldn't put it inside the door frame.

No, it can't do that by itself. I imagine that some creative rigging with some supplies from a hardwear store would allow it to attach to a tree or floor joist. But it's ideally made for doors.

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

I don't think so. The steps are pretty narrow. It is a lovely step ladder that I use in my custom, dark wood closet.

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.

It probably could be used to pull it up but not sure how it would work for lowering door.

I have mine hanging from a tree. I am not sure I'd want to hang it from a doorway - even if it doesn't pull out of the frame, you will be blocking a door.

Yes it should work since it is adjustable it shouldn't be to difficult to use on stairs.

I suppose you could, but you would probably need to put a piece of wood in there and then put the door into that. It would take some extra work, but you may be able to make it work.

yes. its not that wide so the sturdyness could be a problem. Double check the dimensions and see if that will work for your steps :)

it Should Not as the Back Wheels are Big Enough to Hopefully Keep the Frame from Dragging Against the Wood & the Wheels are Rubber So Un-Less You Intentionally Drag the Metal-Frame Against the Wood Your Stairs Should Be Fine

No, it's made to install in a door minimum 1 1/4" thick. You would have to frame it with wood first.

I believe you can. You will notice it doesn't line up with the frame very well. No hardware is included either.

Not sure because I never tried. But I think so. I did on polished wood door frame. Worked well. Not coming down.

I use for doorways only. Would not fit properly on my stairs due to banister rungs if have solid wall it should work I would never use for top of stairs. I use for dog not child

I put this bed together twice (before and after a move) and never really thought about trying to switch the stairs. The bed goes together like a puzzle and the instructions do not deviate from the standard design. Also, the design of the drawers and book rack may make it impossible, but it might be able to be done with some ingenuity. This is a better question for the manufacturer.

It probably could, but the back is very flimsy plywood, so you would have to screw it in many places to make it secure. I would strongly advise against buying this product in oak finish, because very little of it is actually oak, only the door frame and frame of the main cabinet. All of the other "oak" parts are actually a paper thin film of oak over particle board. These areas do not stain like the real oak and are not the same in quality or appearance to real oak. Also as others have commented the door hinges are very poor quality plastic and steel and the screws supplied will twist off if you try to use them.
