Retract-A-Gate is super easy and quick to install. All this customer needed was a measuring tape and a screw driver. Her installation required spacers on the wall side of the installation because the bottom bracket was installed to the baseboard. Because of this, the spacers were needed to put in-between the upper bracket and the wall so both brackets were plumb with each other. On the banister post side, she used a Stair Banister Adapter Kit which straps to the post and allows her to avoid drilling into the banister. Smart Retract sells all these install accessories on their website at retract-a-gate.com
