A safety gate which is adapted to be mounted on the sidewalls at the top or bottom of a stairway to prevent unwanted access thereto by a toddler or on the sidewalls of a door frame or other structure to prevent unwanted passage therethrough from either direction by a toddler includes a mounting rail which is adapted to be fixedly attached to one of the sidewalls, a locking post which is adapted to be fixedly attached to the other sidewall opposite to the mounting rail and a gate frame assembly which is adapted to be removably and pivotally mounted to one end to the mounting rail and secured at the other end, when desired, to the locking post. When the gate frame assembly is mounted on the mounting rail, the gate frame can be pivoted back and forth like a swinging door when restricted passage is not desired and then locked to the locking post when restricted passage is desired.
