Baby gate installs only work when the mount matches the opening. Gold Hands installs pressure-mounted gates where they belong and hardware-mounted stair gates into studs or solid blocking — never a pressure gate at the top of stairs. Labor follows the published baby-proofing menu.

Miami install notes
- Stairs = hardware — top and bottom of stairs need screw-mounted gates into studs or blocking.
- Openings — measure width; extension kits matter on wider Miami hallways.
- Wall type — drywall, plaster, and concrete block need different anchors; send photos.
- Batch it — gates + outlet covers + cabinet locks in one visit beats three truck rolls.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much to mount a baby gate in Miami?
Pressure-mounted safety gate: $69. Hardware-mounted gate for stairs: $99. Full-home baby-proofing package: $399. Outlet covers, cabinet locks, and furniture anchoring use the baby-proofing menu when added.
Pressure-mounted vs hardware-mounted — which do I need?
Pressure-mounted gates are fine for hallway openings without stairs when the manufacturer allows it. Top-of-stair and bottom-of-stair openings need hardware-mounted gates screwed into studs or solid blocking — pressure gates can fail on stairs.
Can you install a baby gate on tile, concrete, or condo drywall?
Yes for hardware mounts when we can hit studs or use rated anchors. We will not fake a stair install with a pressure gate. Send photos of the opening and wall finish when you book.
Do Miami condos allow drilling for stair gates?
Usually yes for in-unit work. Some associations restrict drilling into common-area halls — confirm building rules. We patch carefully if you later remove a gate.
Can you baby-proof more than one gate in a visit?
Yes — multiple gates, outlet covers, cabinet locks, and TV/furniture anchors often book as a half-day or the $399 full-home package when the list is long.
