The banister at the top of my stairs and nearest stud on the opposite wall are off by about 6". Can it work properly at that much of an angle?

You would need to fasten a piece of trim wood to the wall (into the stud) and then hang the gate on the piece of trim. The open/close side of the gate must be hung perpendicular (90 deg. angle) to the wall to close correctly.

It sounds like you have a hollow wall opposite the banister. My solution would be to place it where you want it to be. Use a3/8 inch toggle bolt for a solid installation.

You might have an issue with the latching side fitting properly into the lock mechanism. The gate is must sit fairly straight into the lock mounted onto the wall. 6 inches might be too much of an angle.

I've got the top of mine about waist-high, leaving about a 2ft space from the floor to the bottom-as long as u have the 4 bracket screws in wall studs it should be safe no matter how high u go.

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.

Depends mostly on how the shelf was mounted. If you hit the stud real good, you should be fine,

The spacing of the screw holes are just a bit two wide for a typical house stud, I was able to sink one screw securely and angle the other screws in such a way that I was able to make it work, but unfortunately after doing this, I had to force the screw cover on. Now that is up it really is outstanding. Notably. If you had a wider stud it would go up no problem. Without a wide stud, the template is useless and it takes a bit of finess. Hope this helps.

We have it installed onto a banister. It would probably depend on your banister. How sturdy it is and the material. Ours nailed right in and our banister moves slightly if pulled hard. Weve had this installed for about a year now (maybe longer) no issues for our 6 yo, 2 yo or 1 yo.

I use it in a closer under my stairs for heavy winter coats and it has been very stable. I don't have it extended the full height so I can't judge if that would make a difference.

I woulg say yes as but the sturdiness of the gate will depend on the sturdiness of the posts. I have it mounted one side wall and one side post of a banister and have never had an issue.

This pot rack is designed to mount on walls built using standard 16" stud centers. In my application, the screw holes are exactly 32" apart since I was able to locate it on a wall with standard stud placement. There is not a lot of room left for adjustment either, as both wall brackets are at either edge of the rack. So unless your window and trim are less than about 31", this probably won't work there.

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

In my case I drilled two screws 32 inches apart. I think that's the distance between every other stud. I should of put 3, but it has been working with two ever since I put them 2 years ago. My kids hang their heavy backpacks instead of coats and we put heavy stuff from time to time on top of this entryway. However, this entryway is made of cheap quality but you get for what you pay

I'm interested in knowing the answer, too... I want to use this at the bottom of the stairs where the width of the banister is 41" at the top and 39.5" at the bottom

The mounting parts are at both extremes of the gate. They can't be adjusted so I don't think it can be mounted on anything shorter that the length of the gate unfortunately. I had trouble getting it to fit on my stair rail (height-wise) because it's almost exactly the same height.

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.KidCO Stairway Gate Installation Kit

No, the top wall bracket would be unstable the way it is designed. It may work if the bracket could be sealed shut in the horizontal position and located at the very back of the cabinet.

The distance to the side wall shouldn't make a difference. The brackets shouldn't be more than 24" apart, and I'm assuming your shelf doesn't exceed 36". If you have a 36" shelf, and you want the end of it next to the side wall, then you would put your brackets at the 6" and 30" spots away from the side wall to have 6" on either side of the brackets. HOpe that helps and makes sense.

Probably not, the mount bracket is a two piece system, first is a angle piece that is multiple holed to mount to the side of the unit ,the second part is a deep channel that olds the cylinder and arm that bolts to the angle to get the out space needed to clear the cover. The mount unit could be mounted above the banister to the side of the unit
