The gate is advertised as 39.4" tall, but at what height are the upper mounting points? My banister is only 39" tall.

The upper mounting point is slightly above the gate at 39 to 40 inches. This gate won't work with your banister.

If you measure to the top of the mounting hardware it measures 40 1/4 inches. That is not taking into consideration that I had to start above my wood trim along the floor (so mine is at approx. 43 inches from the floor). I hope this helps.

From the floor to the very top of the circle of the mounting point is 40.5 inches and I have it the lowest it can go.

Details say for up to 40.5 inches, but extensions can be added. I do like the gate. Opens easily both ways and closes easily with the latch.

The gate structure is 28.25 inches tall. My installed height is 30" because I wanted a smaller gap at the bottom. Given the less than 4" gap rule the tallest the installed gate should ever be is 30.24" tall.

The instruction sheet states that without extensions it will fit 28"-31.5". With one extension it will fit 31.5"-35.5". With two extensions it will fit 35.5"-38.5". My opening was just over 33" so I had to use the gate with one extension. Hope that helps.

You can buy attachments for your banister. We bought the No Hole Stairway Baby Gate Mounting Kit By Safety Innovations & just stained the wood to match our railing.

The gate is 34 inches. It comes with 3 extensions. One is 10in, one is 7in and one is 4in. So using the gate, 10 in and 4 inch you will be good to go! Keep the 7 in just incase you move or want to move the gate. Anyway, it looks great, easy to install.

The metal is 28 inches. The way I have it mounted height from the deck to the top of thegate is 30.5 inches.

The top of the gate measures at 32 inches high. It is easy to operate and worked great for our german shepard mix dog. You can install it a little higher up the wall if you remember to step up when going through.

We were able to mount the gate to a banister on one side. It did not come with the hardware. We had to buy and stain a 2" x 4" piece of wood and cut to the height of the banister, then strapped it on the banister with heavy duty straps. We had cut grooves in the 2x4 to secure the straps in place. Then the gate circles (where the gate is attached to open and close it) were screwed into the wood. It sounds like a lot of work but works great in the long run.

That's going to be too narrow. I just measured my gate and without the screw mounts it's 27.5" wide

I'm interested in knowing the answer, too... I want to use this at the bottom of the stairs where the width of the banister is 41" at the top and 39.5" at the bottom

No. You won't be able to properly mount it on the banister if it is rounded. If it is square/flat edged you can.

I just checked the other question/ answers for the size opening and one reviewer was adamant that the widest opening for this gate is 40 inches. You definitely need to look for a longer gate. It will not be secure.

The gate is being stored currently, therefore, I am unable to take a physical measurement, but if I recall correctly, it was 34 1/2" tall.

I woulg say yes as but the sturdiness of the gate will depend on the sturdiness of the posts. I have it mounted one side wall and one side post of a banister and have never had an issue.

I think it would depend on how big the banister is, if it is small the gate might not have enough surface to grip it.

Depends on the banister. You want a flat surface to attach the hinges to..... and strong.
