Here's the Best Solution for Installing Safety Gates to Balusters! I think this is an excellent solution when installing a hardware mounted gate in an area where you can't (or prefer not to) utilize the bannister post. -Dr. Jim This Baluster Mounting Kit gives you the ability to mount a child safety gate between two wood or metal balusters. Each kit comes with mounting wood and a hardware set to mount one side of the gate. Not for use with pressure gates. Works with balusters spaced 6 1/2" wide measuring from the outside edges of one baluster to the other. We recommend using one of our baby gates that can be mounted on an angle since the 36" wood rails will probably not be able to be mounted directly across from each other.
 | Pros • Will adjust to fit around many different sized balusters • Very easy to assemble and install
|
|  | Cons • Only comes in natural wood color (but can be painted) • Balusters can not be more than 6 1/2" apart from each other

| Tips from pediatricians
• Pressure gates at the top of stairs are NEVER appropriate so use this mount to erect a safe gate without damaging your woodwork
• Superior stability makes it suitable for use most anywhere including the top of stairs |
