Many homes have staircases that aren’t bordered by a wall. In this situation the Y Spindle aids installation of the pressure mounted gates to these types of staircases. The Y Spindle wraps around the baluster to provide a secure installation. On all Gateway Models, the Y Spindle can be used on either side of the gate. Simply swap out the included padded spindles for a Y spindle on as many corners as is needed. NOTE: For installation of a pressure-mounted gate on a staircase with balusters on both sides, you will need to use a K100 Installation Kit.Features:
