How much space, width-wise, do you need to mount the gate on both sides? We bought a banister installation kit and it's only 1.5 inches wide.

On one side (the side the whole gate mounts to) 1.5" would be enough. On the other side (the side for the latch/lock), you'll need about 2.5-3".

I believe the gate adapter needs a flat surface on the banister for it to be attached securely. Otherwise, it will most likely just end up twisting around out of place. Most wrought iron railings I see have skinny round banisters but if yours is different and you can find flat parts (even thin ones) then it might work for you.

There is an option to pressure mount the gate between two walls. I can't remember if the manual provided an option to install when one side is a banister but I believe as long as there is a flat surface on the banister I don't see why not. I do remember reading in the manual that pressure mounting is only OK for the bottom of a stairs (never for the top). Hope this helps. I have two of these installed to swing open. The top of the stairs had a tall baseboard so I had to install a little higher than the bottom. The gap was not too wide so this was OK. The gap between floor and bottom of the gate should not be wide enough for the little tike to fit body parts through.

if your looking to use a small one you can most likely cut it to size. Then drill the holes out so you can screw the self drilling screws into place.I used them on a big double gate that extended them out to 5 ft on each door... Made my gates look great and very easy to install. Took me about 10 min

I think I would contact the manufacturer. My space was 55", so I bought a gate that covers 58", but with the extensions, it is not straight. I thought it was operator error, but my daughter has the same gate with the same issues.

we purchased the extension that is offered for this gate. You can put it on either side, whichever works best for you. Opening the gate is a little awkward until you get used to lifting the gate back by the hinge then swing it open.

I've installed the unit to a door with an outside width of 14.5 inches with about .5 inch to spare on each side. The width of the cabinet opening is 14 inches. Hope that helps.

It includes spacers for the gate side and the receiver side. So, you only need 1 package for a full installation at one site. The gate itself comes with an extra set of components so you can easily move the gate to another site. You would need an extra spacer package for that of you installed elsewhere.

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:

This gate is way too small for what you need. I think they show the measurements on their page.

If you have a banister on both sides or handy stud in the wall it will be fairly easy. If you don't have anything solid to mount the gate to on the wall side it will not be easy as the weight of the gate will eventually break any drywall mounting methods loose after awhile. I rated this fate low due to the clumsy closing method which requires two hands and some fiddling to close. If you only need to open it occasionally you will probably be happy with the gate.

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.

gate only fits nicely in 31 - 32 inch opening. if your opening is 63", you will need 31 - 32 inches of extensions. I don't know what the extension width is.

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.

We did not screw it on even though we have a wood bannister. Bought a wooden plank that is about 1.5 inch thick and used industrial plastic ties to secure it to the bannister. The little metal clamps that come with the gate are screwed onto that. Plank and ties came from Home Depot.

I purchased the 1" for a baby gate which measured 1" across. Put it on and it's loose fitting in depth. Had to stiff it.

No. You won't be able to properly mount it on the banister if it is rounded. If it is square/flat edged you can.
