Installing A Baby Gate Can Vary Greatly Between Makes And Models
An important thing with safety gates to keep in mind is the installation of them. You sure don't want to buy a baby gate and then later find out that you can't install it because it is more difficult than you thought. So this is an area that you will need to think through when shopping for a gate.
Pressure gates are very easy to install. Since they operate by applying pressure against the wall with springs that are built inside the gate, all you have to do is set them up let the tension take care of the rest.
Hardware gates on the other hand are a bit more tricky. You will need to screw them into the wall studs in order to permanently mount them. Although this is not too difficult for any weekend handyman, or woman, it can be challenging for those who have never done anything like this. In that case you might want to stick with pressure gates instead.
