Hi,
I need to fix a child safety gate to a nice oak staircase. The thing is, I don't really want to drill into the staircase so I'm wondering if anyone can think of a way I can do this? I'm thinking if there was some kind of bracket or other mechanism I could use to attached a piece of wood to the posts I could then screw the safety gate into the bits of wood and not have to harm the staircase.

At the end of the day, my son's safety comes first so if there isn't a safe way of doing it we'll just have to screw it!
Thanks
Paul
