Quick answer
Use the Easy Step Extra Tall 6" Extension when your gate needs an extra 6 inches in height to safely block a taller opening, or when you want to match the Platinum finish for a seamless look. Skip it if you only need width extension.
Height vs. width: what this extension does
The Easy Step Extra Tall 6" Extension adds 6 inches of height, not width. It is designed to make your existing Regalo gate taller, which is useful for doorways or stair tops where the standard gate height leaves a gap. If your opening is wider than your gate, you need a width extension instead.
Matching finish: why Platinum matters
The Platinum finish is a popular option for modern homes. Using the same finish on the extension keeps the gate looking like a single, intentional piece. If your gate is a different color, the Platinum extension will still function but will stand out visually.
Compatibility check
This extension works with Regalo Easy Step gates, but not all models. Confirm that your gate model supports the Extra Tall 6" Extension before purchasing. The extension attaches using the same hardware and mounting method as the gate itself.
Decision rules for using the Extra Tall 6" Extension
- Your gate is already the right width but too short: If the gate fits the opening width but leaves a gap at the top (e.g., a tall doorway), this extension adds the needed height.
- You want a uniform Platinum look: Choose the Platinum extension if your gate is Platinum. Other finishes will work but won't match perfectly.
- Your opening is wider than the gate: Do not use this extension for width. Look for a width extension (e.g., 12" or 24") instead. Measure the gap at the top, not the sides.
