Stair Gate Fitting in South Dublin
Whether you need a pressure fit gate across a doorway or a wall mounted gate at the top of the stairs, we fit it correctly the first time. Top of stairs gates must be securely fixed into the wall to be safe and this is something we see done badly far too often. We bring the right fixings for your wall type and make sure everything is correct.
Key Safe and Lockbox Installation South Dublin
Key safes and lockboxes are one of our most requested installations. Landlords use them to manage access between tenants and tradespeople, Airbnb hosts fit them to handle guest arrivals without being on site, and families use them so carers can always get in when needed. We fit wall mounted key safes to brick, render and timber and make sure the position works for whoever will be using it day to day.
Window Locks and Restrictors
Window restrictors are one of the most overlooked safety measures in homes with young children. They prevent windows from opening more than a few inches while still allowing ventilation. We fit window restrictors and window locks to most standard window types across South Dublin homes quickly and neatly.
Cabinet Locks, Drawer Locks and Kitchen Safety
Kitchens and bathrooms cause the most accidents for small children and securing them properly is one of the best things you can do. We fit a wide range of cabinet locks, drawer locks and appliance latches cleanly and without fuss. Whether you are baby proofing an entire kitchen or just locking a few cupboards under the sink, we can take care of it.
Home Security Upgrades Without the Locksmith Bill
Beyond child safety, we also handle everyday home security improvements that do not require a locksmith or electrician. This includes fitting door chains, door bolts, deadbolts, door viewers and letterbox guards. These are simple, practical upgrades that make a real difference to how secure your home feels without costing a fortune. For full alarm system installations contact a registered electrician through Safe Electric Ireland.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does stair gate fitting cost in South Dublin?
We charge €45 per hour with a two hour minimum, so the minimum charge is €90. Most stair gate jobs take between 30 minutes and one hour depending on the gate type and wall. Wall mounted gates at the top of the stairs take a little longer as the fixings need to go in correctly and safely. The minimum charge for child safety installation in South Dublin is €90.
Do I need to buy the products before you arrive?
You can supply your own products or ask us to source them for you. If you supply them we will fit them. If you would like us to source them we can talk through the options beforehand and materials are charged separately from the labour rate.
Can you fit a stair gate to an angled or awkward wall?
Yes. Most stair configurations including angled walls at the top of the stairs can be handled with the right gate and the right fixings. It is worth mentioning any unusual layouts when you get in touch so we can advise before arriving.
What types of window restrictors do you install?
We fit a range of window restrictor types including cable restrictors and hinge restrictors suitable for most standard casement windows found across South Dublin homes. If you are unsure what type you need just send a quick photo on WhatsApp and we will advise before booking.
Do you carry out electrical security work such as alarm systems?
We do not carry out electrical work. Our home security installations focus on physical security such as door bolts, locks, chains, viewers and window restrictors. For full alarm system installations you would need a qualified electrician or dedicated security company.
