Megan –
We used this product to install a Baby Dan folding baby gate across two square, wooden, banister posts. Firstly, it is definitely universal, so that’s 5 stars. However, it wasn’t clear when we bought it that the “kit” only does one single banister. I think this should be made clearer (a “kit” implies that you will be able to install the entire stair gate with it, what use is one by itself?) so we did have to screw into the banister on one side after all. But it protected 50% at least, 50% less work filling holes when we eventually remove it.
My only complaint was that I am just an average person with a small baby not a professional builder or a DIY person, and I found the instructions were unclear and lacked detail. I also didn’t realise there would be so much screwing parts into wood involved, and there were no markings on the wooden beam provided (it would be much easier with a grid or ruler printed onto the “fake” banister i.e. the wooden post, I got the wrong side of the wooden beam and I just couldn’t get the screws straight at all). But after about 4 hours I got there and the final result was good and sturdy which was a relief. In conclusion, it did the job but wouldn’t say it was very easy and there was some frustration involved.
