If you’d rather not have to crack open the tool box and start drilling holes, opt for the Hauck Squeeze Handle Auto-Close Gate, a simple to install pressure-mounted gate. The double ‘squeeze’ action needed to open it is a doddle for grown-ups but tricky for small children, whilst there’s a handy self-closing mechanism - ideal for the odd occasion when you forget to secure the gate behind you.
