For products in the stairs & doors category, the two most important things to confirm before purchase are fit and durability. Measure or check the area where the product will be installed, and verify that the product's published dimensions or specs match. A product that almost fits is a product that will fail under repeated toddler attention.

Adhesive strength, adult-friendly release mechanisms, and material durability are the next layer of considerations. Avoid the cheapest option in any category — the small price savings rarely justify the higher rate of failure during the months when the product needs to actually work.

Read the included instructions before installation, even if you have used a similar product before. Manufacturers vary on placement specifics, cure times, and load ratings. Clean any surface that will receive adhesive with isopropyl alcohol and dry it completely before attachment.
