Extra-wide modular protection for open-plan homes
The BabyDan Flex Stair Gate XL (also known as the Hearth Gate) secures openings from 90 up to 278 cm with a single kit. Use it as a super-wide stair gate, wrap it around fireplaces or create a bespoke barrier for open-plan living areas. The modular system (door + two 72 cm panels + two 33 cm panels) connects via swivel joints so you can build straight runs, zig-zags or corner layouts while keeping the gate rock solid.
Key benefits
- Huge coverage out of the box: 90–278 cm with the supplied sections (door 72 cm + 2 × 72 cm panels + 2 × 33 cm panels + 2 × 4 cm wall mounts).
- Shape it to any layout: swivel wall brackets allow inside-frame or outside-frame fixing and angled installs up to 270° around hearths, mezzanines or awkward stairs.
- One-handed, double-lock handle: keeps curious toddlers out while adults can open the stair gate with a single hand.
- Two-way swing: configure the door to open left/right and inwards/outwards to match your traffic flow.
- Heavy-duty metal build: powder-coated steel resists bumps in busy family spaces.
- Stable threshold bar: integral floor bar improves rigidity; add the optional BabyDan anti-trip ramp when fitting near stairs.
- Tested to EN 1930:2011: compliant with UK stair gate safety regulations and UKCA marked.
