Abstract
The child safety gate system is a modular barricade that forms a barricade in a door selected from a plurality of previously identified doors. The child safety gate system comprises a gate, a plurality of pivot frames and a plurality of latch frames. There is a one to one correspondence between any pivot frame selected from the plurality of pivot frames and a latch frame selected from the plurality of latch frames. Each door contained within the plurality of previously identified doors has installed in it a pivot frame the corresponding latch frame. The selected pivot frame and the corresponding latch frame are used to removably attach the gate to any selected door. This modular behavior allows the installation of the barricade structure in any door selected from the plurality of previously identified doors as required.
