From How to Install a Hardware-Mounted Baby Gate at the Top of Stairs, Step 3: Drill Pilot Holes
Using a drill, create pilot holes at each marked location on the wall. The size of the drill bit depends on the wall surface: for wall stud surfaces, drill a 1/8 inch (3mm) hole. For drywall surfaces, drill a 1/4 inch (6mm) hole, and then insert the provided plastic wall anchors into these larger holes. If necessary, use a hammer to gently tap the plastic wall anchors flush with the wall surface. Ensure all marked holes for both the gate mounts and handle mounts on both sides of the doorway are drilled appropriately according to the wall type.
