  "title": "Baby gates with installation aids for easier fitting",
  "question": "Which baby gates include templates or installation aids to make fitting them easier?",
  "answer": "The checked facts describe installation aids but do not mention templates. Qdos Spectrum Designer Baby Gate: The box includes the pressure-mount gate, QRF spindles and two extensions. The QRF spindle head allows installation over quarter-round molding. For the bottom spindles, tighten until the red area of the AccuInstall Indicator disappears; for the top, tighten hand wheels to a 1/8-inch gap. For a wooden banister at the bottom of stairs, the Universal Stair Mounting Kit is likely needed. Qdos Crystal Designer Pressure Mount Baby Gate: The bottom spindles have an AccuInstall indicator; tighten the nuts until the red area disappears. For the top spindles, tighten the hand wheels until the distance between the gate and the handle is 1/8 in. Qdos Auto-Close SafeGate: The bottom spindles can be adjusted independently of the top spindles; making them shorter accommodates baseboard thickness in most cases. Qdos Extending SafeGate: The box contains the gate itself, the installation hardware and an instruction manual.",
