I have a metal spiral staircase that I need to block my 2 yr old from decending. Will this attache effectively to a metal banister?

It really depends on the circumference of the banister not the material. One side of the gate should be secure into a wall with a stud or some kind of anchor like a 2x4 though.

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.

Yes. One side will mount to the wall. The other side uses spacers and nylon straps to secure it to the banister post.it is rather sturdy.

I don't think it would. The back wheels are pretty good size, the metal parts may not even touch your stairs. But if it does line the bars with duct tape to keep it from scratching.

Thank you for your question! It is not recommended for use near large metal appliances due to the possibility of "electronic noise" causing the ScatMat to activate unintentionally. For effective deterrents around these objects, we would recommend the http://amzn.com/B00IZGO0RU

That's how I used it on my set up, had to Velcro a piece of oak wood the same width of my banister. I then put a small strip of wood on the wall to attach the gate to. Worked great for all 3 of my kids. The gate could swing open easily when I needed to get through also. When kids grow up remove wood from velco\ Banister (No Marks) Removed wood strip from wall, a little putty to cover the screw holes, and it was like it was never there.

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.

We have it pressure mounted at the bottom of the stairs. Neither the 3 or 5 year old can dislodge it, even when they (against orders!) Swing on it. I think I could if I tried really hard, but it would take a series of strong kicks.

Yes! We have ours mounted closer to the floor than recommended and into the stud. It hasn't shown any signs of being loose. I have a 3&8 yr old that share a room at the top of the stairs so there is a lot of use

I've set up mine as a barrier to keep my 17-mo old from going up and down stairs--to stay out of it instead of in! Works really well!

If the metal railings has a flat face that is at least 2 inches wide, then it should work. If the railing is round all around, then it will not work.

Space wise, yes it should work. HOWEVER, a small pet (my puppy) escaped thru the 4 1/2 inch space at the bottom, where the base of the crooked bar attaches to the extra piece. I would not recommend this gate for small pets at all. I had to block my with acrylic sheets.

Yes, though we used a ~1 1/2 inch thick strip of wood to place adjacent to our banister so that we didn't have to attach it to our stair's banister (we held the wood to the banister using zip ties)

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

Absolutely Not!!!!! Please dont! your child will fly down the stairs because this thing doesn't attach to the wall

You need this adaptor. The gate will not secure to the banister without it.

I think so. I have my gate adaptor attached to a pretty skinny spindle, and although I had to wrap the velcro strap around it many many times, it still works. In addition to the velcro, there is a little clip that goes around the velcro so no one can easily remove the velcro. It will most likely work for you as it did for me. **EDIT - After reading the other answers, I wanted to add that my spindle is not flat. I used that shelf liner paper (the grippy kind) underneath the adaptor velcro to keep it more stable. It does not spin around the spindle and works fine. I use this safety gate at the bottom of the stairs. I'm not sure I would use these adaptors...or this gate...at the top of the stairs.

Depends on the banister. You want a flat surface to attach the hinges to..... and strong.

It's hard to say. You might be able to make it work with the material provided. The problem is u have 2 sets of rubber brackets and Velcro for the 4x4 square part of the post and 2 round kits for the round part of wooden banister. They also is a complete kit to wall mount it which could be used around the metal banister. I think u might be able to do it with using some of the pieces in the mounting kit the more I think about it. I like it!!!! I suggest checking the Amazon return policy on it prior to purchasing. We bought 2. 1 from Amazon and the first one from wal Mary because if it didn't work we could just take it back to wal mart. Of all the ones I looked at, this one seemed to me to be the nicest and cleanest to mount. Hope that helps. You could make it work I think. But again make sure you can return it if it doesn't Good luck
