PLEASE NOTE: 

The key to the best fit is to be able to pull TSB 

fabric as tightly across your staircase opening as possible. A 

small gap (maximum of 1”) on the sides between TSB and the 

attachment to the banister or spindle may offer the tightest fit.

installation instructions

1.  While facing your staircase, position the 

front of your Stair Barrier (TSB) between the 

banisters.

2.  Position TSB as far to the rear of the treads 

as possible. If there are multiple spindles on 

the tread where TSB is to be installed, use 

the spindle located closest to the rear of the 

tread. 

See Fig. B

3.  When installing at the top of stairs: Install 

TSB a minimum of 10 inches back from first 

tread/step. With all soft barrier gates there 

will be some give to the fabric and to ensure 

there are no entrapments, there must be 

ample flooring between TSB and the first 

step. 

See Fig. D

4.  Wrap the top strap of TSB around the 

banister and latch the buckle. You may use 

the banister, spindles or both to attach the 

straps. In some cases, you may choose to 

use multiple spindles. 

See Figs. A, B and C.

5.  Repeat this process for the middle and 

bottom straps.

6.  When properly installed, the bottom edge of 

TSB should be flush with the stair tread and 

there should be little (a maximum of 1”) or no 

gaps between the fabric and the attachment 

to the banister or spindle, on either side. 

See 

Fig. A

 

7.  If one side of TSB is unlatched to allow 

access to the staircase, completely roll TSB 

to the side that is still attached to the banis-

ter. See 

Fig. E

. When not in use, TSB should 

not block the staircase.
