Gates

We installed this gate at the top of our stairs about a month ago. It has given me great peace of mind with a crawling baby, and an active toddler niece that comes to visit often. It was a little tricky to install in our particular situation because it had to fit underneath the stair handrail, and attach to a round wooden railing on the other side. We had to screw a 1" by 2" board into the railing post, then attach the gate to the board. It worked beautifully and is very sturdy. We had a hard time finding a gate that was short enough and wide enough, and this one is perfect! The only complaint I have is that there isn't a stop to keep it from opening too wide and smacking the wall behind it. We stuck a little felt piece on the wall to protect it, but the kids keep peeling it off. Also, the gate doesn't always latch if you just swing it lightly closed. You have to bang it pretty hard, so if the big kids are opening and closing it a lot it tends to be a bit noisy/annoying. I love that it is a little tricky to open because it also does a great job of keeping my 3 1/2 year old out of the basement. If you have a child 4 or 5 years old that you WANT to be able to open and close the gate, I don't recommend this one. It takes a bit of hand strength to hold in the buttons. It took me a few tries to figure it out. My 6 year old has a hard time with it, but can manage. My 8 year old can use it easily. The quality and construction are very impressive. The box was totally trashed when it arrive in the mail. I thought for sure it would have broken the gate after looking at the mangled box. But the gate didn't have a scratch on it and has worked perfectly."..."  Read more

Purchased 1st gate 1 years ago..Gate is used to keep 3 large dogs out of living room. LR is semi formal and wanted a gate that would blend...this gate works perfectly, opens in both directions and is attractive. I recently bought a second gate to close off another area..couldn't be more pleased. Does need a little patience when installing."..."  Read more

We have a wide space by stairs that go up and down to the basement. The opening is 54 inches wide and we were having a hard time finding a nice looking gate as this space is near the front door area. We have a 8 months great granddaughter living with us who moves very quickly these days. We also have a puppy coming next month. The gate is very easy to operation. All of the components that operate the gate are covered with the material so what you see is very clean. The things that I like the most is that the gate needs no screws and can be used in other parts of the house. A very great find."..."  Read more

We use this gate to block the puppies from getting to the back of the house so that the kitties can run free. It is absolutely wonderful for this. They can see each other thru the gate, but the dogs can not get thru.The kitties can jump over if necessary. Easy opening even with my hands full. Love this gate"..."  Read more
