It says this is a pressure mounted gate, are screws needed at all to mount this gate?

Screws come with the package, however, you don't have to use them. My husband and I mounted it on the wall without screws and it stays without a problem.

You don't *need* to screw it into the wall, but it comes with screws. I have 2 rather rambunctious cats that will pull on the gate if I'm on the other side of it for too long. Without it being mounted to the wall, they would, without a doubt, pull it down on a daily basis.

screws are not needed-but they do include a kit for a more permanent mounting

it does come with caps to screw into the walls but it is not required, only recommended. I did attach the caps to the wall with the screws as it makes it more secure.

If you are mounting the gate in a door frame, no screws are needed. However if one or both sides are up against a wall--say at the top of the stairs--then you'll need screws to mount the stabilizing "cups." These are small plastic holders similar to the things you put under bed frames or furniture. They give the gate stability so that it can't be slid along the wall if someone were to push firmly against it.

You CAN mount it with just pressure, but I found it worked better if screws were used.

Only if you need to put the little cups ob the doorway if you have big jumpers like my huskies, but I don't use them on the gate I have on my bedroom or kitchen doorways and they haven't knocked the gates down, but I did mount the hold cups that come with it on their bedroom doorway because their always jumping on that gate when I get home.

Yes, it is a pressure gate. It can also be screwed into the wall but it is very secure just pressure fitted.

Yes, I have 3 that are pressure mounted. It does the same thing. I also use the Y on the staircases and they work great. I love this gate.

It's a pretty generic setup. It should work with any type of gate that you screw into the wall. The product is basically a piece of wood you screw into the plastic clamps, then you screw your gate into the wood.

Yes it is a pressure gate. I have had it for awhile and I love the gate. It is nice looking gate and appears to be the best quality gate I have ever seen. Hope this helps.

It attaches with an eye bolt screwed into the wall and the gate attaches to them. You would need to find a replacement for cement or a way to attach the bolt with appoxy

It comes as a solid piece, I think the gate part needs attached if I remember right. There is installation required.

Installing it is pretty easy with the extensions. Mine needed to fit out 46" opening and we used all but 1 extension. You add each extension individually and then use the tension screws to make t tight. The instructions are a little confusing but it's the best gate around!

Everything you need is included. No attachment to the wall necessary. The gate is held in place using pressure by hand made adjustments to the gate. No tools required. Hope this answers your question. Let me know if you need more.

No, the 2 mounting surfaces need to be in the same plane. Also the gate would need to be well balanced with good hinges to work.

I have the "Summer Multi-Use Deco Extra Tall Walk-Thru Gate, Bronze", which is essentially a prior model of this gate. The hardware mount is simply a plastic cup about two inches diameter and 1/4" thick, with a hole in the center for passing a screw into the drywall. The gate still mounts with pressure using the same pressure pads when using the hardware mount, they just sit inside the plastic cups which provide some extra security by prevent the gate from slowly scooting along the wall over time. The wall (or whatever you're attaching to) still needs to be strong enough to support the pressure (which is substantial). Hope this helps.

The gate comes with the hardware to mount it on the wall. That being said, unless your house has studs that perfectly match up on both walls your will probably need to get some heavy duty drywall anchors. I also decided to get slightly longer and stronger screws than the ones provided...but that's just because I am paranoid about safety.If you want to install it on a banister without screwing into the banister I believe they sell and additional kit for that.

You would need to use anchors no matter what type of wall. The eyelets that came with the gate do not support normal use. (Opening the gate several time a day. There is a push lock at the top to release the gate to open (not like a door, it slides). Not a good design if the area is a normal passageway.

As long as the correct screws and tools are used. There is a flat panel that gets screwed to the wall and the gate hooks to that.

Any gate mounted above stairs needs to be hardware-mounted. This pressure-mounted one eventually can wiggle loose, especially if the surfaces it's pushing up against for mounting are not completely square horizontally. More than once we have stepped to open it and the whole thing dislodged, and we hadn't realized it was that loose.

No- doesn't close automatically. I tried just using it as a pressure mounted gate but it's too heavy and slides out of position. Just wanted everyone to know it needs to be mounted to wall. Nice tho

Definitely. Mine is mounted on a wooden gate. It was easy to mount following the instructions. It also has mounting instructions for chain link and other metal gates.
