Short answer: No — the all of Hakuna Pet's Retractable Gate must be installed using screws.
Why Screws Are Required
The Paw Proof Retractable Gate is designed as a hardware-mounted gate, meaning it needs to be installed by screwing the mounting brackets into a suitable surface (e.g., a wall, doorframe, or banister). This ensures a strong, secure fit - essential for withstanding the pushing and pulling of determined pets.
Looking to Avoid Drilling?
We understand that not everyone wants to drill into walls or doorframes. While this specific gate requires screws, you do have options:
#3101 Banister Adapter Kit
This kit allows you to mount the gate to round or square banisters without drilling - a great option if you're installing at the top or bottom of stairs.
Pressure-Mounted Gates (No Drilling Required)
If you’d prefer a no-drill solution, consider our Extra Wide Easy Fit Pet Gate. It installs using pressure between two flat surfaces - no screws, no tools, and no permanent marks.
You can also explore more pressure-mounted options in our Baby Gate range at permachildsafety.com.
