Does the job. No instructions to fit. Have to use common sense while installing to the other one. Need to be a bit longer screws. Installer was panicking if he over screwed i
This stair gate extension does the job as the gate unit is too narrow for an ‘average’ stairway. Check the height of your gate before ordering . I believe different width extensions are avilable
I bought 3 of these gates and two extensions. It took a few minutes to install them, and they seem quite sturdy. They might cost a little more than other similar products, but you get what you pay for.
I purchased this extension bracket to enable a stair gate to fit the bottom of our stairs. Good quality and very easy to fit to the Lindham stair gate. Did the job perfectly by giving a tiny bit of extra width (7cm max)
The product itself is fantastic and very easy to assemble.
However, the packaging. Oh my the packaging! The product came in its normal product packaging inside another ENORMOUS box filled with paper to bulk it out. I had previously ordered the gate which was delivered in it’s own product packaging with delivery stickers stuck directly on to it. Why was the same not done for this? the additional VERY LARGE box is completely unnecessary never mind bad for the environment. The bulking paper alone filled my recycling bin! Now I’m stuck with a box that will fill it up again when my current bin filled with bulking paper is collected. What am I to do with all my usual recycling Amazon? Put it in my general waste bin to go to landfill? YOU SICKEN ME!!!
We saved our Lindham stair gates to use for our second child. However in the meantime we moved house and they were no longer wide enough by about 5cm. We were going to buy new wider gates until I stumbled across these. They’re easy to use and save money and waste if you already have gates that no longer fit. Our gates work exactly the same as they did before and you cant really tell the extension isnt part of the original gate.
If you haven’t already got stair gates, it might be cheaper to buy bigger ones instead of smaller ones and also have to pay for extensions. However if you already have gates and theyre too small now, this is the perfect solution.
We’ve got Lindham stair-gates but have no idea on the exact model as they’re used and don’t seem to say on them so I took a risk buying both a 7cm & 14cm extension. Thankfully they fit and work so all good.
Initially it didn’t make sense to me how they fit together as I only had the picture on the box to go by which is very misleading, you have to take the plastic plugs out of the existing stair-gates which are easy to mangle as they’re soft plastic, thankfully wifey worked this out.
The main issue we had is that the bottom just doesn’t fit snugly and sticks out but it still holds perfectly well.
It’s also not the best quality item and the connections to the gate are not up to scratch in my opinion. I doubt it will last very long but it’s doing the trick in the meantime.
Advice: double check the height of your gate before purchase. I assumed that the best seller gate and extension from Amazon would be compatible, but it isn’t. I also won’t agree with the word “Universal” in the title.

REVIEW ON LINDAM 28cm SAFETY GATE EXTENSION.
This is sold through Amazon as a “prime” item at a cost of 16:00 (July 2017)
Prime items come with a promise of included next day delivery.
You cannot rely on the next day delivery promise.
There is no indication as to any potential additional postage charges applicable to non prime members.
I am a Prime member. My extension was needed very quickly and was not delivered as promised. Two days.
The Extension comes in a product marked cardboard box. There are no installation instructions on the box.
They are on a leaflet which is very poorly cobbled together. There is also a tin spanner, useless, much too small to afford the tension needed. There are also a couple of end cups.
The frame matches the height of the gate. It is a solid and weighty piece of metal finished in a smooth white plasticised coating.
That said, A little common sense coupled with experience had the gate plus extension in about 10 minutes. A spare hand would half this time.
The first thing to do is decide which side of the gate you want the extension to be on.
If, as in my pictures you have a wall, set it up to open the gate against the wall. That puts it out of the way for access and egress.
Remove the plastic infills from the extension is to be added, put the extension joiners into the same holes from which you just removed the infills.
Put the infills into the unused side of the extension.
Place the tightening nuts and feet, supplied with the gate into the four infills, two at either end, top and bottom.
Ensure level and upright with a spirit level, not supplied.
I suggest using a couple of adjustable spanners for the nut tightening.
The spanner supplied with the gate is rubbish at best.
OVERALL,
Very easy to attach to the gate and install. Bought at this source at this price easily represents the best value I could find. Delivery, (even late as it was) is a bonus.
All parts fitted as they should. They need to be a little tight and this is the case. Once assembled they are not designed for easy removal but a flat head screwdriver and a tack hammer would get them out if need be.
I would not hesitate to buy this again.
FITTING PROPERLY IS THE KEY.
I hope that this review has been of assistance to you the potential buyer. If so please click on the useful review
