Q: Can a child or pet lift a Stair Barrier or pull it down? 

A: No, not if our gates are installed properly.  Our banister gates are reinforced internally with rigid plastic vertical struts and heavy-duty horizontal webbing that keep our gates from being pulled down or lifted up. The Wall to Wall gate is constructed with vertical aluminum bars. The lack of horizontal bars on all of our gates make it more difficult to climb and helps prevents common injuries caused when children attempt to climb gates. Additionally, these bars are not visible to children because of The Stair Barrier’s signature upholstery grade fabric covers.
