The Eco gate comes as two panels with a simple central connector which fits standard widths of 70 - 80cm. A range of extensions are available which simply slot between the main panels to fit any width up to 140cm. By removing the traditional overlapping system of traditional screw fit pet gates, the whole installation process has been simplified to five easy to follow steps. This gate has a simple manual opening and closing system. The push to release button is activated with a thumb, allowing the user to lift the gate frame out of the cradle with ease. Once through the gate, simply slot the fittings back into the cradle. Screw fit gates are recommended for use at the top of a flight of stairs as they do not have a trip bar, unlike pressure fit gates. However, it is equally important that a gate can be restricted to open ONLY away from the stairs to avoid any potential dangers of falls. The gate has a one-way restrictor to resolve this issue, but also has the option to enable the gate to open in both directions should the gate be installed elsewhere in the home.
