Can this gate be installed at the bottom of the stairs, with a banister on one side? Preferably without drilling into the banister?

The gate uses eye hooks to latch to and as a hinge. I don't see how it can be used without drilling holes. Also, read my review, this gate broke within a couple of months.

This is a hardware mounted gate on both sides so you will need to drill into both sides. The mounts need to be drilled into a flat surface.

No, it has to have 4 holes drilled, 2 each side. But with animals, I have found it the most effective. And though basic wood color, I believe it can be spray painted to blend in better. It is also one of the taller gates. Best of all for me, it swings either way and is easy to open and close. And it can betaken down if their are guests. Though drilling the holes leaves marks these can be filled with wood putty and stained if the gate is removed.

Nope. You will need to put in an eye round in on the side you want to lock. If you use two on the wall side then you've only got to put one in on the side that latches. The top things on both ends can be released so the gate can swing in either direction.

We installed it at the bottom of the stairs but did drill into the banister. There are separate kits to allow of gate installs that clamp around banister but you'd have to buy that in addition to thus. The eye bolts that this uses are about an eighth inch so you could puddy them without much issue when you remove them.

I don't think so. This gate is designed to have the mounting hardware screwed into wood on both sides.

My gate is attached to the banister with the latch side on the wall. It's attached just above the wood. Not sure if this helps answer your question. When I look straight down at the rail from the top, it is uneven in that it angles slightly more toward me as it connects to the wall because we wanted to narrow the gap a little between the edge of the top step and the bottom of the gate. So on the banister side the rail is over the opening of the step, but on the wall side the rail is slightly over the floor before stepping down. Don't know if this makes any sense, but it has worked great.

I'd suggest getting the adapter. I tried to use a gate with the same set up (wall on one side banister on the other) and it was not very secure. After putting the adapter on, it was as secure as having it set up between 2 flat surfaces.

It depends on what type of banister you have on the one side. We have a rod iron banister that is not very wide, so there was no way to install our gate without the adapters. The product worked well for us with the type of gate and banister we have. Much better looking than some of the other products out there that are big and bulky that go around the banister. Highly recommend this priduct

My gate is attached to a small metal railing. It works great! However I attached mine with zip ties. May not be the most attractive attachment but it works. I did not need to drill any holes in the wall or railing.

No, the door doesn't need to be installed, but there are pre-cut notches for the hinges that would be exposed on one side.

You could tie one side of the gate to the 1" banister. But what about the other side? They only provide you with two chords (as shown on right side of picture) to tie to a rail. You may have to buy 2 additional chords from them separately. Or you could use those $1 drawer clip locks from Home depot to fix these gates. It would still work. Good luck

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.

Yes, I would think that would be fine. Both the top and bottom mounts screw in the wall and have a bolt that can be adjusted for width tightness. Very nice gate.

Yes, you can install the gate higher off the ground if you want.. there are knows at the end if the fare to tighten to the wall

We used it with a gate that my husband made. He had to make some adaptations, but it is working great and we didn't have to drill holes in the stair newel.

We have one side mounted to a banister and the other mounted to a wall. If you have a banister on both insides I would feel confident that this gate would be sturdy as long as the banisters themselves are sturdy.

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.

No. It slides in the latch so if the latch is flushed against the wall but the gate is at an angle, you would not be able to slide it in, however if you tried installing the hardware at an angle, you'd probably make it unsafe. Hope this helps.

It depends on the base molding (if you have any) that you have where you are installing it, if you are installing it on the stair, or if you are installing it in a space that is flat before the stairs begin. Ours is installed on the bottom stair (because there is no space with two walls past the bottom stair) and my 4 year old figured out how to push it just right so that she could slip under the gate. However, she couldn't squeeze through to get up the stairs (which was what I was using it for).

No, but you can put a piece of material under it or install it raised off the floor a fraction of an inch. You really don't have to worry about it marring your floor if it's installed properly, the main section doesn't move, the gate swings, but there's a small bar under it that doesn't move.
