Babelio Auto-Close Safety Gate (66-101cm) | NDIS Home Safety Aid

Establish a secure home environment and manage safety risks effectively with the Babelio Auto-Close Safety Gate. Classified as low cost assistive technology, this adjustable barrier is designed to support NDIS participants who are parenting with a disability, or for families managing children with Autism (ASD) or Intellectual Disability who exhibit wandering behaviours (elopement).

Creating "safe zones" within the home is essential for reducing the need for constant, high-intensity supervision. This gate features a pressure-mounted system that installs without drilling, making it ideal for rental properties or temporary setups. Uniquely, the auto-close gravity mechanism ensures the gate swings shut and latches automatically behind you. This is a vital feature for parents using mobility aids (like walkers) or those with limited hand dexterity, ensuring the barrier remains secure without requiring a physical backward reach or two-handed operation.

How This Device Supports NDIS Participants

• Elopement Prevention: Creates a physical barrier to prevent children with a lack of safety awareness from wandering into high-risk areas like kitchens, stairwells, or external exits.

• Parenting with Disability: The auto-close feature supports parents with reduced mobility or upper limb weakness, ensuring the gate locks automatically without needing physical force or twisting movements.

• Visual Zoning: Provides a clear visual boundary for participants who struggle with abstract rules, reinforcing "no-go" zones to support behavioural regulation.

• Rental Friendly Safety: The pressure-mounted design allows for safety modifications in rental accommodation without damaging walls or requiring complex carpentry.

Key Features & Benefits

• Hands-Free Auto-Close: The gate automatically closes and locks behind the user due to gravity, preventing accidental breaches if a carer forgets to latch it manually.

• Wide Adjustability: Fits openings from 66 cm to 101.6 cm using included extension kits, making it versatile for standard doorways, wide hallways, or the bottom of stairs.

• Double-Lock Mechanism: Features a secure latch that is easy for adults to operate with one hand but difficult for children to open, balancing accessibility with safety.

• Pressure Mounted: Installs quickly using tension bolts, eliminating the need for drilling holes, which supports participants who cannot perform structural modifications.

• Dual-Swing Action: The door swings open in both directions (180 degrees) for flexible movement but includes a stopper to limit direction when used on stairs for added safety.
