Toddleroo by North States extra-wide wooden baby gate — fits 29.5"–50" openings, 31" tall, pressure-mount, natural wood

We do not recommend using this pressure‑mounted gate at the top of a staircase; unless a gate is specifically approved for top‑of‑stairs use, only hardware‑mounted gates permanently installed into a solid stud are considered safe for the top of a stairway. This gate is a no‑drill, pressure‑mount model intended for doorways, hallways and bottom‑of‑stairs use — choose a hardware‑mount installation for the top of stairs. [1][2]

We do not publish a specific measurement for the vinyl‑coated mesh opening (the product specs and instruction manual do not list a mesh aperture), so we can’t give an exact gap size. The gate is JPMA/ASTM‑certified, which means it has been tested to applicable safety standards for infant gates, and the manufacturer’s manual also warns to discontinue use if a child can climb over or dislodge the gate — so follow that guidance and supervise accordingly. If you need an exact hole/mesh measurement for a particular concern (finger size, medical reason, or climbing risk) we can try to obtain that measurement from the factory on request.

The assembled/item weight is about 5.7 lbs (≈2.6 kg) per retailer product listings. Shipping weight will be slightly higher because of packaging, but this gate is designed to be lightweight and portable so one adult can easily remove and move it between openings using the pressure-mount design.

Yes — replacement parts are sold separately through North States. We offer hardware packages, wall cups, upper latches and (for models that support them) replacement panels/parts such as the vinyl-coated mesh; part numbers and prices are listed on North States’ replacement-parts pages. Please have your gate’s model number/date code ready and use the product’s parts drop‑down or the brand parts catalog to find the correct part. [1][2][3]

Yes. One reviewer specifically reported installing this Toddleroo extra-wide wooden gate about 9" above the sill so a Chihuahua could pass while a Pit Bull could not, and noted it worked without the latching component; another reviewer said they used the gate for 1.5 years with no issues, indicating the raised configuration remained secure in customer experience.

We use a lift-style locking bar — to lock you push the bar down and slide the locking pin into a slot, and to open you simply pull up on the locking bar (the manufacturer’s instructions show this exact operation). [1] When the gate is installed with the included wall cups and the locking bar is placed on the side away from the child, this gate is intended to be secure for toddlers; however, like all pressure-mounted gates a particularly determined toddler or a persistent medium/large dog may eventually learn to dislodge or manipulate it if installed improperly or left without the wall cups engaged.

When installed per the manufacturer instructions the Quick‑Fit/pressure‑mount gate is placed directly on the floor (i.e., essentially 0" intentional clearance under the bottom); the manual instructs “place gate on floor and expand in the opening.” [1] Because it sits flush, there’s only a very low threshold to step over (not a tall bar), so small rolling objects are unlikely to pass under and most adults step over rather than trip — however any floor‑level gate creates a small threshold you will lift your foot over when walking through.
