- Universal Fit for Round & Square: Fits stair railings from 1.9" to 4.72" Wide/Diameter. Whether round or square, the adjustable strap conforms perfectly to fit your gate. Covers most standard indoor and outdoor stair railings.
- No-Drill, Zero Damage Installation: Protect your stair railings from screw holes and glue residue. The adapter straps securely to your post, letting you drill into the wood block instead of your banister—ideal for renters and homeowners.
- Solid Wood Block for Custom Drilling: Unlike plastic mounts with limited, pre-drilled hole patterns, our premium solid wood blocks allow you to drill your own mounting holes exactly where your gate hardware requires.
- Quick Setup & Pack Details: Wrap, tighten, and mount your gate brackets in minutes. Each pack includes 2 wood adapters, designed for mounting ONE side of a stair post. (Note: Order 2 packs if you are mounting the gate between two posts on both sides).
- For Retractable Gates Only: Specifically engineered for standard retractable safety gates. Verify your gate type and banister size before purchase. (Note: Not suitable for rigid gates).
Key Takeaways

- Straps attach without drilling into the stair post.
- Two wood adapters mount one side of a stair post.
Adjustable Fit for Different Railings
The adapter is designed for round and square stair railings measuring 1.9 to 4.72 inches wide or in diameter. Its adjustable strap conforms around the post, giving the kit broader compatibility than an adapter intended for only one railing shape. Confirm your post dimensions before purchasing.
No-Drill Installation, Custom Bracket Placement
Installation uses a wrap-and-tighten strap rather than screws or adhesive on the stair railing. The included solid wood blocks then provide a surface for drilling the mounting holes required by your gate brackets. This design avoids screw holes and glue residue on the post while allowing custom hole placement.
What the Pack Includes
The package includes two wood adapters, intended to mount one side of a stair post. That detail matters when planning a complete gate installation: the product is not presented as a full two-sided mounting setup. Borthmiu also describes the basic process as wrapping, tightening, and mounting the brackets.

Buying Advice
Measure the railing’s width or diameter before ordering, ensuring it falls between 1.9 and 4.72 inches. Confirm your gate-bracket layout can use custom-drilled wood blocks, and determine whether you need additional adapters for the other side.
