Yes, Retract-A-Gate is certified for use at the top of stairs and can withstand a push out force of 200 pounds. On each side of the opening, the bottom brackets mount at about 3 inches off the floor and the top brackets mount at about 31 inches off the floor. The brackets require a flat surface of 2.5 inches to mount to. If your spindles or banister offers this space then there should be no problem mounting the brackets. If this space is not available or you prefer not to put screws into your posts, then our Banister Adapter Kit is what you will need. Please see our Users Guide for further details.
