This is what I used to mount my child's safety gate to our stair railing.

Mount a baby gate using hardware in tricky locations:
- Attached to metal balusters
- Using zip ties instead of screws
- With the gate at an angle
The baluster at the top of our stairs is metal, and a clerestory window obstructs where one of the brackets should mount. This model helps mount the gate at a slight angle (~10 degrees) to clear the window, attach to the metal railing using beefy zip ties, and ensure smooth operation.
Assembly (this order prevents strain when applying zip ties):
- Use giant zip ties to attach the brackets at the appropriate height to your baluster
- Use liberal amounts of CA glue to attach the brackets that came with your gate to the brackets
- Close the gate and let CA glue dry completely
Tip: you can extend the gate to act as a clamp while the CA glue dries; however, don't apply so much force that the bracket distorts.
To customize the angle, load into FreeCAD, open the spreadsheet (visible in Combo View), and edit the “Angle” to suit your need.
