1. Hauck Stop N Safe 2
The Stop N Safe 2 metal safety gate comes with a 9 cm extension, making it ideal for securing doors or stairs with a width of 84 - 89 cm. For larger openings, Hauck recommends the Stop N Safe 2 with a 21 cm extension (96 - 101 cm) or the standard size Stop N Safe 2 (75-80 cm). All these models can be further customized with additional extensions of 9 cm and 21 cm and can be combined with Y-spindles to attach to stair railings with round posts. The child gate can be securely tensioned between staircases, walls, or door frames using adjustment screws, and no drilling is required. Adults can easily open the gate in both directions with one hand, leaving the other hand free for a little one or shopping bags. The Stop N Safe 2 features a manual locking mechanism with a double safety system, preventing uncontrolled opening by children. With separately available extensions of 9 cm or 21 cm, the gate can be flexibly expanded up to a width of 110 cm, allowing it to also be used as a stair gate. Additionally, it can be combined with Y-spindles for stair railings with round or oval bars. The Y-spindles can be installed on one side of the gate in place of the adjustment screws if needed. Note: This item is a self-adjusting safety gate. The initially tilted side panel becomes straight when the adjustment screws are tightened, ensuring a secure hold and parallel fixation in the area of the locking mechanism.
Pro
- Easy assembly
- Looks stable
- No drilling required
Contra
- Not extremely stable
- It becomes unstable on wide stairs with an extension
- Not suitable for wider stairs

2. Hauck Open N Stop 2 9cm White
Practical, manually closing door & stair gate set
As soon as your child is mobile, safety gates on stairs and doors are essential. The gate can be opened in both directions with one hand and closes safely and reliably.
Whether at home, at the grandparents' or on holiday, the clamp gate can be securely attached and removed without leaving any residue.
The Open N Stop 2 set including 9 cm extension is not only suitable for passageways with a width of 84-89 cm, but can also be extended up to 110 cm with the separately available extensions of 9 cm or 21 cm. With separate hauck Y-spindles, the gate can also be mounted on banisters with round rails.
The following dimensions are possible with separate extensions:
75-80 cm = child gate without extension
84 - 89 cm = children's gate + 9 cm extension
93 - 98 cm = child gate + 9 cm + 9 cm extensions
96 - 101 cm = child gate + 21 cm extension
105 - 110 cm = child gate + 9 cm + 21 cm extensions
117 - 122 cm = children's gate + 21 cm + 21 cm extensions
Note: This safety gate is self-adjusting. This means that the initial misalignment/gap in the area of the locking mechanism is cancelled out by tightening the four fixing screws.
