The Cardinal Gates Stairway Special SS-30 is emphatically endorsed by parent communities as 'probably the most secure baby gate' available. The one-handed latch operation requires adult dexterity that toddlers cannot replicate - even determined climbers fail to open it. Hardware-mounted design with no floor bar eliminates trip hazards at the top of stairs. JPMA and ASTM dual certification validates safety testing. Gate stop feature prevents the gate from swinging over the stairs - critical safety detail often overlooked. Fits openings 27-42.5 inches with extension kit available to 64.25 inches. The aluminum construction is sturdy without excessive weight. White and black finishes available. The premium price is justified by uncompromising safety engineering. There is no better gate for top-of-stairs applications.
