Moments in this video

  1. 1:50–2:02 Mark and Drill Bottom Pilot Holes (Side 1) From How to Install a Hardware-Mounted Baby Gate at the Top of Stairs, Step 3: Drill Pilot Holes

    Position the assembled gate against the wall where the gate will be installed, and use it as a guide. Place one of the prepared bottom mounting brackets on the wall, aligning it with the lower bar of the gate. Using a pencil, mark the exact locations where the pilot holes need to be drilled through the bracket. Then, using the corded drill and the selected drill bit, carefully drill pilot holes into the wall. Ensure the drill bit angles slightly upwards, following the orientation of the mounting hardware.

  2. 2:59–3:10 Mark, Drill, and Secure Top Mounting Bracket (Side 1) From How to Install a Hardware-Mounted Baby Gate at the Top of Stairs, Step 2: Mark Bracket Positions

    With the bottom bracket installed, position the gate temporarily in the opening to determine the placement for the top mounting bracket on the same side. Ensure the gate is level and at the correct height. Mark the pilot hole locations for the top bracket with a pencil, then drill the pilot holes using the corded drill. Screw the top mounting bracket into place, similar to the bottom one, but leave the screws slightly loose for now to allow for final adjustments.

  3. 3:44–4:19 Secure Mounting Brackets (Side 2) From How to Install a Hardware-Mounted Baby Gate at the Top of Stairs, Step 4: Attach Mounting Brackets

    Align the top and bottom mounting brackets on the second side with their respective pilot holes. Securely attach both brackets to the wall using the corded drill and the provided screws. These brackets are designed to allow the gate to 'click' or slide into place, so ensure they are oriented correctly for easy attachment and removal of the gate. Similar to the first side, tighten screws firmly but avoid over-tightening the plastic.

  4. 3:44–4:19 Secure Mounting Brackets (Side 2) From How to Install a Hardware-Mounted Baby Gate at the Top of Stairs, Step 5: Attach Gate to Brackets

    Align the top and bottom mounting brackets on the second side with their respective pilot holes. Securely attach both brackets to the wall using the corded drill and the provided screws. These brackets are designed to allow the gate to 'click' or slide into place, so ensure they are oriented correctly for easy attachment and removal of the gate. Similar to the first side, tighten screws firmly but avoid over-tightening the plastic.

  5. 3:44–4:19 Secure Mounting Brackets (Side 2) From How to Install a Baby Gate on Stairs with a Banister on One Side and a Wall on the Other, Step 4: Mount the Gate

    Align the top and bottom mounting brackets on the second side with their respective pilot holes. Securely attach both brackets to the wall using the corded drill and the provided screws. These brackets are designed to allow the gate to 'click' or slide into place, so ensure they are oriented correctly for easy attachment and removal of the gate. Similar to the first side, tighten screws firmly but avoid over-tightening the plastic.
