  "title": "Baby gate mounting adapters by baseboard or banister size",
  "question": "Which baby gate mounting adapters fit a given baseboard size or banister size?",
  "answer": "Qdos Universal Stair Mounting Adapter: The manual says the adapter mounts to most square and round banisters and between wood or wrought-iron spindles without screwing into them. The manual lists short mounting brackets for square posts 1.7-2.6 inches and long mounting brackets for square posts 2.4-4.2 inches; the store listing instead says square banisters up to a maximum of 4 x 4 inches, so the sources disagree. If there are banisters on both sides, two adapters are needed.\nQdos Universal Baseboard Adapter: It suits baseboards up to 7 inches tall and up to 7/8 inch thick. Each adapter is designed for one baseboard, so two are needed if there is a baseboard on both sides.\nQdos Pressure Mount Y-Spindles: They grip round banisters or spindles measuring up to 3 inches in diameter. They are only for pressure-mount gates, not hardware-mounted gates. The pack contains two Y-spindles only, so a stairway with spindles on both sides needs two packs to cover top and bottom on both sides.",
