Spiral or Curved Staircase
Likely cause: No flat, parallel surfaces for a gate to fix to at the top or bottom.
What we do: A hardware gate on custom mounting posts or a fixed panel that follows the curve.

Spiral stairs, angled banisters, glass balustrades and walls that are not quite straight defeat most baby gates out of the box. We combine adapter kits, extensions and custom mounting so a gate fits securely where a standard one cannot.

At a Glance
Made to Fit
Feature staircases and glass balustrades are common in Dubai duplexes and villas, and they leave nowhere square to mount a standard gate.
We measure every angle, combine the right gate with banister kits, clamps or mounting posts and test the result until it latches every time.
Awkward Openings
Likely cause: No flat, parallel surfaces for a gate to fix to at the top or bottom.
What we do: A hardware gate on custom mounting posts or a fixed panel that follows the curve.
Likely cause: The newel post sits at an angle to the wall, so hinges cannot line up.
What we do: Angle-adjustable banister kits and offset hinges to square up the gate.
Likely cause: Drilling glass is impossible, and clamps can slip on smooth panels.
What we do: Padded clamp kits rated for glass, or a mounting post fixed to the floor or wall.
Likely cause: Skirting boards and out-of-plumb walls stop pressure gates sitting flat.
What we do: Spacer blocks and skirting adapters bring the mounting points into line.
How We Do It
We measure the opening at floor and gate height, the angle of the banister and any slope on the stairs. Most irregular openings are a few centimetres different top to bottom.
We choose the gate, extensions and adapter kits that suit the shape, and decide where fixings can go without damaging stone, glass or rented walls.
Mounting posts, spacers or banister kits are fitted first, then the gate is hung and adjusted until it closes square and latches every time.
We push, pull and lean on the gate and test the latch repeatedly. The gap at the floor is checked so small feet cannot slide under.
Duplex apartments and villas in Dubai often have feature staircases with open risers, curved treads or glass balustrades. They look stunning, but they leave no square surface for a standard baby gate. Forcing a pressure gate into an angled opening is the most common unsafe setup we find.
A custom fitting usually combines a hardware-mounted gate with banister adapters, angle kits or a fixed mounting post. At the top of stairs the gate must always be screwed in and swing away from the steps, however awkward the opening.
For standard doorways and straight stairs, see baby safety gate installation. For very wide openings, our extra-wide and retractable gates suit open-plan rooms. If you also have pets, see pet barriers in Dubai.

Tools and Materials
Straps and brackets that let a gate fix to round or square banisters without drilling. They protect timber and metal railings. Angle-adjustable versions suit sloped newel posts.
Padded clamps rated for glass panels. They grip firmly without scratching. They are the only safe way to fix a gate to glass.
Blocks that bring the mounting point past skirting boards and uneven plaster. The gate then sits square in the opening. Pressure gates stop slipping.
Gates screwed to the wall, post or adapter, with no trip bar on the floor. They are the only safe choice at the top of stairs. They swing away from the steps.
Based in Al Barsha since 2014, we work across every Dubai community with trade-specialist technicians and a workmanship guarantee on every job.
Feature staircases are common in Dubai villas and duplexes. We fit gates to them regularly. We know which kits work with which banisters.
A pressure gate is never used at the top of stairs, however hard the opening. We find a hardware-mounted solution. Safety comes first.
Clamps and adapters are used on marble, timber and glass. Drilling is a last resort. Expensive finishes stay intact.
Every gate is pushed, pulled and leaned on before we leave. Latches are tested many times. You get a gate you can trust.
Custom fitting starts from AED 200 per opening, including adapter kits we supply for common situations. Spiral stairs and glass balustrades that need custom posts are quoted after we see photos. Prices vary and can change depending on your exact requirements, the materials and access to the property, so the final price is confirmed after we see photos or visit.
We use clamp kits and banister adapters wherever they are safe, and place any screws where they are easy to fill. In rented homes we explain exactly where fixings will go before drilling.
