DIFFICULTY RATING: (1 out of 5 - Beginner)

A child's curiosity can be a dangerous thing in an unsafe home. Follow these steps to protect your child from harm.
Step 1: Install hardware-mounted baby gates.
 Hardware-mounted baby gates are much safer than pressure-mounted gates. To install them, first line up the mounting brackets and mark the locations for the mounting screws in the wall or molding. Some baby gates come with full-sized guides for easy drilling and mounting.
Use any mounting guide that comes with the baby gate kit.
