Product Description

Size: 1-Pack

Many homes have staircases that are not 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 the Gateway (Model G11), use Y Spindles only on the hinge side of the gate. No more than 2 per gate can be used.

On the Center Gateway (Models G15 and G35), the Y Spindle can be used on either side of the gate. However, they must be used on the same side. No more than 2 per gate can be used.

NOTE: For installation of a pressure-mounted gate on a staircase with balusters on both sides, you will need to use a K10 Installation Kit.

Can be used with Kidco Pressure mount gate models G11, G15, G16 and G35.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great solution for a wrought iron gate problem, January 17, 2010

Others on here have discussed how well this works, so I think I will provide a little detail of our exact experience. We originally purchased a well reviewed, non-pressure mounted baby gate for our stairs. However, I realized the assembly was far too complicated, so instead we purchased an additional KidCo G15. We already had two and were extremely happy with their simplicity and quality.

One side of our staircase is a wall, so it presented no problems. The other is a wrought iron gate, so it presented plenty of problems. At first, I only ordered one Y Spindle, then realized when I received it that you actually need two, one for the top (as you see in the picture of the Y Spindle) and the other for the bottom (not pictured). We got our second one and installed it and couldn't be happier. It is SO easy and SO simple compared to the other remedies I found that I highly recommend it to anyone dealing with a similar problem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Works like a dream, January 24, 2008

This spindle attachment is exactly what we needed. Our stair well banister and the wall do not match up at all - the gate would have to be slated and we did not want to drill into the banister. The spindle attachment allows us to use the tension option on the gate without having to damage the walls or banister. We love it!!! If you have a wide staircase, I would recommend getting the gate extender to use with the Y spindle option - our son is starting to figure out that he may be able to get up the space in between where the gate ends and the stair rail begins since it is about a 5" gap. Y spindle works great!!!

We looked for a way to install a gate on our steps that have only a railing on one side. We really didn't want to drill holes into the banister, and this was the perfect solution. It works perfectly on both the top and bottom of our stairs with the pressure-mounted gate.
