Abstract
A self-aligning, simple to use and reliable child/pet safety gate (2) that is removably mounted by a support assembly (4) to an existing room door (12) by hanging the support assembly on the room side doorknob (10) without the use of mounting hardware is disclosed. This design allows the gate to be used or stored while so mounted to the room door. Further, with the gate in its stored, hidden position behind the door, the existing room door can still be opened and closed in a normal fashion. Yet, it is a simple matter to place and secure the gate's blocking assembly (6) in its operative or blocking position by pivoting it to block the open area and then latching it to the door frame using a locking strap (54) and pin (60) and the existing door lock bolt aperture (62) to secure the blocking assembly.
