safety gate

Stairway access preventer

A safety gate is a barrier installed in doorways or at the top and bottom of stairs to prevent small children or pets from entering dangerous areas or falling.

Most safety gates swing open or lift out for adult passage: We installed a safety gate at the top of the stairs when the baby started crawling.
