  "title": "Mounting adapters and spindles for baby gates",
  "question": "Which mounting adapters or spindles fit a particular baby gate model?",
  "answer": "Qdos Universal Stair Mounting Adapter: The maker says it works with all brands of baby safety gates up to 34 inches tall, both hardware-mount and pressure-mount. The manual says the adapter mounts to most square and round banisters and between wood or wrought-iron spindles without screwing into them. The store listing says it fits square banisters up to a maximum of 4 x 4 inches, or round banisters up to 5 inches in diameter; the maker's manual gives different maximums (square up to 4.2 inches, round up to 4.7 inches), so the sources disagree. If there are banisters on both sides, two adapters are needed.\nQdos Universal Baseboard Adapter: It works with all brands of baby safety gates up to 34 inches tall, both hardware mount and pressure mount. The adapter prevents damage to woodwork by removing the need to screw into the baseboard, and gives an even vertical mounting surface for the gate. 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 are stated to fit every Qdos pressure-mount safety gate. The Y-spindles are an adapter that lets a Qdos pressure-mount gate be fitted where round banisters or spindles are present instead of a flat surface. They grip round banisters or spindles measuring up to 3 inches in diameter. 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.",
