Do I Need to Use Adhesive Pads with My Pressure-Mounted Baby Gate?

Modified on Wed, 20 Aug at 10:29 AM

The adhesive pads included with your gate are designed to secure the mounting cups to the wall. These cups improve grip and help keep the gate stable, especially in high-traffic areas or when the gate is used frequently. 


Want Extra Stability?

For added strength, each mounting cup also comes with a small screw for permanent fixing. This is recommended for:

  • Busy homes with active children or pets

  • Top-of-stairs installations

  • Long-term setups where maximum stability is required


Adhesive-Free Alternative: Wall Protectors

If you prefer not to use adhesive, Wall Protectors are a great option. They:

  • Disperse pressure across a larger wall surface

  • Use a non-slip silicone base that grips without marking walls

  • Are perfect for rental properties or homes where drilling/adhesive is not preferred
