Product Usage Instructions
Stairs
The most important place to fit a safety gate is at the top and bottom of
your stairs, preventing your child from falling andcausing themselves injury.
Please choose the correct type of gate for each setting.
Kitchen doorway
Using a safety gate on your kitchen doorway is also a good idea. Kitchens
hold a multitude of dangers from hot appliances to cleaners and chemicals. A
safety gate ensures that your little one can’t gain access without you being
in the same room.
Bedroom door
Changing from a cot to a bed brings a whole new challenge. With more
freedom to get in and out of bed, a safety gate on their bedroom door means
you can be assured that they won’t wander from room to room in the night and
more importantly, will be unable to get into the bathroom, another danger zone
when unsupervised. Using a gate also helps to discipline your child to stay in
bed, without the need to close the door completely.
Bathroom door
If you like your little one to be able to come into your room on a night
and would prefer not to fit a gate to their bedroom door, it could be a good
idea to fit a safety gate in the bathroom doorway. Bathrooms, like kitchens,
contain many dangerous substances, from bathroom cleaners to shampoos, shower
gels and lotions, not to mention medicines. Not only can these be dangerous
but water itself be extremely dangerous, with risk of drowning.
Important Tips
- Fit a wall-mounted safety gate to the top of the stairs.
- Check your pressure-fit gates daily to ensure they maintain their pressure and strength.
- Ensure you read the mounting instructions to ensure the gate is installed correctly as incorrect installation can be dangerous.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where should I fit a safety gate?
The most important places to fit a safety gate are at the top and bottom of
your stairs. Additionally, it is recommended to use a safety gate on kitchen
doorways, bedroom doors, and bathroom doors to prevent access to potential
dangers.
What types of safety gates are available?
Munchkin provides two main categories of safety gates: pressure-fit gates and
wall-mounted gates.
What are the dimensions of the pressure fit gates?
The standard size of pressure-fit gates without extensions is 76 cm-82 cm.
However, extensions are available in three sizes, allowing for a maximum gate
width of up to 117cm.
What are the dimensions of the wall-mounted gates?
The wall-mounted gates are extending gates and can fit a maximum opening of
106cm.
Are Munchkin and Lindam gates the same?
Yes, Lindam baby gates became part of the Munchkin family in 2010. Both brands
are from the same high-specification production line and benefit from the same
care, technology, and innovation.
What types of safety gates are available?
Munchkin provides two main categories of safety gates:
-
Pressure fit.
These gates are ready to assemble and do not require drilling or screwing to the wall. The pressure fit gate design incorporates a power frame; a “u” shaped frame that enhances the stability and safety of the gate through added strength. The pressure fit gates can be extended using extensions (3 sizes available, creating a maximum gate width of up to 117cm – opening sizes vary so check each model for exact sizes). Standard size without extensions fit 76cm-82cm. -
Wall mounted
These gates are mounted directly onto the wall and therefore require drilling. The benefit however is that they are extending gates and can fit a maximum opening of 106cm (opening sizes vary so check each model for exact sizes). They also do not have a bottom rail which is a feature of the pressure fit gate and can be a potential trip hazard, especially at the top of the stairs. We recommend that a wall-mounted safety gate is used at the top of the stairs for additional safety and strength.
Important Tips
- Fit a wall mounted safety gate to the top of the stairs.
- Check your pressure fit gates daily to ensure they maintain their pressure and strength.
- Ensure you read the mounting instructions to ensure the gate is installed correctly as incorrect installation can be dangerous.
- Always fit your pressure fit safety gates with the wall cups and sticky pads provided.
- Gates with fixed floor bars, for example Pressure Fit gates, should not be used at the top of the stairs.
Fit safety gates either before or as soon as your child becomes mobile.
