Many homes have staircases that aren't bordered by a wall. In
this case the Y spindle aids installation of the pressure mounted
gates to these types of staircases. The Y spindle wraps around
the baluster to provide a secure installation.
On the Gateway® (G-11, G-14),
use Y spindles only on the hinge side of the gate. No
more than 2 per gate can be used.
On the Center Gateway® models (G-15, G-35),
the Y spindle can be used on either side of the gate. However,
they must be used on the same side. No more than 2 per gate can
be used.
NOTE: For installation of a pressure-mounted
gate on a staircase with ballusters on both sides, you will
need to use a K10 Installation Kit.
