Is this the right gate?
When to choose a double stair gate
A double stair gate is one long gate with two gate doors. It closes off two staircases in one run, with a door in front of each, instead of trying to fit two separate gates side by side.
It suits your home if:
✓ A staircase going up and a staircase going down start from the same landing, hallway or room
✓ You want a door in front of each stair, so you can go straight up or straight down
✓ The space between or around the two stairs is too long or awkward for two standard gates
Double stair gate examples
Double stair gates we've made
Every gate is made to measure. Here are some we've fitted where two staircases meet.
Getting double stair gates right
Two stairs, twice the care
The gate sits forward of the top step going down, and flush with the stair going up, so a caught foot never sends anyone toward the drop.
Set forward of the stair going down
A landing with a stair going down is as risky as the top of any staircase. These are the rules we follow on every double stair gate:
Take it down when you're done
A release mechanism lets the gate come fully off its wall mounts once you no longer need it.
Secure, without the damage
Our non-intrusive fixings hold the gate firmly and come off without damage to your surfaces.
Use a manual latch, not self-closing
Self-closing springs need frequent tuning and wear with daily use. Manual operation is the only failsafe way to know the gate is latched.
