Extra Long M8 (8mm) Stair Banister Adapter Y-Spindle Rods 2 Pack for Pressure Mounted Baby and Pet Safety Gates (8mm, Black)

This product worked well with the regalo baby gate as others have said. My staircase is curved and the main post is hard to reach, so I utilized the unused pressure gate spindle/rubber foot to reinforce the smaller post, which initially was curving a lot under the pressure. Just installed today and holding up to baby imitating King Kong so far, will see if it lasts and if my banister stays intact!

Good idea in theory as a way to avoid drilling into your banister with a more permanent installation... but found that this product did not work. With any real pressure on the mounted gate, it slipped forward. With enough pressure, the gate can be pushed out completely, and of course that would represent a hazard to your child falling down the stairs. Probably works well enough as a superficial deterrent, but I wouldn't place my trust in it to withstand actual force. Ultimately ended up purchasing a hardware mounted gate (i.e. not pressure mounted) which indeed gets screwed into the wooden banister. Why gamble with your kid's well-being? Patch the banister a few years later and call it a night.

I bought these to use with my Regalo Easy Step 38.5-Inch Extra Wide Walk Thru Baby Gate. Very easy to install but they do make the gate less sturdy. If the gate is pulled on really hard by my daughter, most likely it would come crashing down. (Luckily for now she doesn’t have a want to do so.) I think if these were designed differently to wrap around the banister and lock into place rather than the “Y” shape I’d feel a bit better but they do the job.

I needed these adapters to make the gate I purchase fit at the top of my metal banisters. While the product did work, you could not tighten the top enough to keep it from being wobbly and unsafe. I was able to use wire ties at the top on both ends and secure the gate enough to be safe. Pay close attention to the size and length of the bolt. Not all extenders work on all gates. I guess I didn’t do enough research but this is my fourth set of extenders and the ones that worked best for the gate I purchased.

Not going to lie, this wasn’t the easiest to install. It might have also been how our banner was, I couldn’t for the life of me get the gate to stay straight every time I tried tightening it, one side lifted up. Finally after about an hour I got the gate mounted as straight as I could and it’s very secure on the bottom of the stairs. We didn’t think we would be able to have a snug fitting gate at the bottom, but we were wrong! Strongly recommend if you have some patience installing.

After looking everywhere, and trying to figure out a solution, I found these! Perfect solution for our Regalo Wall Safe Extra Tall Safety Gate at the bottom of the stairs (not top!!). I ordered the 8mm. We needed to have this secure for our 40lb., very strong dog, so I used several zip ties for extra support, but for a smaller pet, or less of a "wild child" that may not be necessary. I used these with the extensions that come with the gate, but it will work with or without them. Pretty easy to install, just try to put the rods in evenly at first and then tighten evenly. An extra set of hands would be helpful to hold the gate while one person tightens it up, but it's not necessary. I did it by myself.

This product works just as you imagine it would. I like that they are long. They are very sturdy too! I just wish someone would invent a version where you could slightly "bend" the handles, because they are slightly off the corners of my angled entrance. Another thing I wish is that the knobs were a little slimmer, they are kinda bulky and the knob itself isn't compatible with every gate out there. But other than that, it's very true to the pictures!

So I bought a baby gate to keep the 1yo off of the stairs, and then he seen his brother crash into said gate and that with the flat springloaded peg on the banister made it wiggle. So he then proceeded to jerk on that end until it popped free and he could get to where he felt he needed to be.I bought these as a cure for that problem. I've had them for several months now and all the jerking gives him is an attitude towards the gate.

Brilliant idea! I searched high and low for something that would solve our problem (a regular safety gate + awkward stairs + rented accommodation meaning no drilling into walls) and this was the perfect solution! The gate is now safely on the wall despite the annoying spindles being in the way.

Bought to allow me to position the gate against an end post on stairs. Fits well and grips the post nicely. Does the job

Exactly as described brilliant for round banister fitting

Easy replacement for std heads - only need one for a solid fit at top of stairs - can relax now when grandkids upstairs

Very pleased and a lot easier to fix than old fixings
