Crafted Gates Co. Baby Safety Gates
Stair gates that look like they belong in your home, because they do. Crafted Gates Co. designs hardware-mount and pressure-mount safety gates with the kind of finish work you'd expect from real furniture: clean joinery, considered hardware, and silhouettes that read as architecture rather than baby gear.
Built for the realities of a house with a new walker, every gate in the collection is engineered to hold up to climbers, leaners, and the daily traffic of a busy household, without the plasticky look that usually comes with childproofing.
What's in the collection
- Stairway gates with hardware-mount installation for the top and bottom of staircases
- Pressure-mount gates for doorways and hallways where you can't drill
- Wide-opening gates sized for open-plan living rooms and kitchen entries
- Room dividers that section off play zones, pet areas, and home offices
Who these gates are for
Parents of cruisers, new walkers, and toddlers between roughly 6 months and 4 years, in homes where the gate is visible from the living room and the kitchen island. If you've already chosen the crib, the rocker, and the rug, the gate shouldn't be the thing that breaks the room.
Choosing the right gate
For stair tops, go hardware-mount, every time. For doorways and bottom-of-stair use, pressure-mount installs in minutes and leaves no holes. Measure the opening at the narrowest point, then add for the latching mechanism, most Crafted Gates Co. models fit 28 to 42 inches with extensions available for wider spans.
Pair it with the rest of the nursery
Once the stairs are sorted, finish the room with pieces that hold the same design standard. See coordinating Westwood Design furniture and cribs, the dadada toddler furniture range for the next stage, a crib mattress built to current safety standards, and the motorized nursery gliders collection for the corner of the room you'll spend the most hours in. Shopping the full baby gear selection covers everything else on the list.
Frequently asked questions
Are pressure-mount gates safe for the top of stairs? No. Use hardware-mount gates at the top of any staircase. Pressure-mount is fine for doorways and the bottom of stairs.
What opening widths do Crafted Gates Co. gates fit? Standard models cover 28 to 42 inches, with optional extensions for wider openings, open-plan rooms, and irregular stair landings.
At what age do I need a safety gate? Most families install gates around 6 to 8 months, when babies start crawling and pulling up. Plan to keep them in place through age 2, sometimes longer on stairs.
Will the gate damage walls or banisters? Hardware-mount gates require drilling. Banister-friendly mounting kits are available for stair installations to avoid marking spindles.
