My Favorite Gate
Cardinal gate with trim to protect the newel post from fasteners. Industrial zip ties are the secret.

Custom Trim
To save your historic newel post or keep with the style of your home, let us create custom trim to serve that purpose.

No Trim? No Problem.
This Cardinal gate is installed into the oak banister and drywall. Each wall anchor is rated for 240lbs of force.

Regalo Wall Mounted Gate
This gate only opens from the left and therefore is not appropriate for all situations. The parts are mostly metal, but the latch is plastic and can sometimes slip past “closed” while being shut with the love of your 10th tantrum of the day.

KidCo Gate
This gate is slightly bigger than the Regalo with a minimum width of 24 ¾ inches. It can be opened from either side, though.
Unfortunately, its “stopper” for the top of the stairs is a laughable piece of plastic smaller than the nail of your pinkie. It requires a custom stopper if it’s going to be used at the top of stairs.

Extra Tall Regalo Gate
Perfect for confining your adorable gremlin or blocking your counter surfing dog.
