This is a great, manuverable, lighweight baby gate. It is extra long for those longer than normal enterances. Affordable as well. I really like how easy it is to move back and forth, use it or leave it open….it’s great!

This would be a fine product if you have an opening with wood on both sides, but do not use if its just drywall. Within 2 days the supporting hardware pulled out of the wall and left the gate unsafe and useless.

Honestly though this could be a very nice product in the right situation.

This is the one and only gate i could find that fit my 24 inch wide doorway. it also works well in another room in my house that has a 48 inch opening. Keeps my crawling 10 month old girl out of harms way!

You can’t beat the price compared to other gates. I use it to block of a 60" opening and it’s wide enough to block even a couple more inches. You do have to drill 4 holes in your wall but the gate is sturdy and if you pay attention to your child when you are opening and closing it it’s perfectly safe. good stuff.

I purchased this gate for a the opening into my kitchen. It is an odd caddy corner shaped opening. The gate was easy to install and works great. We purchased it to keep my 8 month old son from crawling into the kitchen to eat the dog’s food! He is almost 2 now and we still use it to keep him out of the kitchen. He has never pinched a finger or any other part of his body. My 5 year old is able to open and shut it with ease. It is very durable and his withstood my son shaking it back an forth. I guess you could say it is kid tested and mother approved.

This gate is the best for the price, and frankly, I never found a larger gate that made sense for the large opening I have.

It takes some practice to open it with one hand. If it’s a bit stiff at first, examine it and loosen it a bit at the catch. I bent mine a little with a screwdriver to make it not so stiff to operate with one hand. Over time, the second gate we got became much looser and therefore easier to open and close with one hand.

We have had three of these gates for about 3 years now. We kept three kids and three dogs in their respective places with these gates! One was at the bottom of the stairs to keep the kids from crawling up the stairs when we weren’t looking.

I recommend this gate if you are willing to work a little harder to learn how to use it than another, more expensive gate. I gave it four stars because I feel that when new, these can be especially difficult to unlatch with one hand. Out of the three gates, only one was a real pain at first until it had been used for about 2 months. The up side is that the kids could not figure out how to open this on their own. The holes were too small for them to climb it. And even older kids can’t operate it….which could be a down side if you have a 6 year old who can’t operate it. Our son, even at age 7, could not open this by himself. I would say it is hard to use, but only at first. Once you get the hang of it, it’s quite OK to use quickly and without thinking about it…

Since the reviews on this gate had a wide range, I bought it with some caution. I am pleased to report that the gate is in fact easy to install, easy to open and close, doesn’t get stuck, and is very easy to latch closed. Unless you have an older child, you don’t even need to use the locking pin (which is a good thing because the locking pin is strictly for adults and is not easy to manipulate). It is best to install this kind of gate in an opening trimmed out at least 6" in depth. This is because the right side of the gate where it attaches to the wall of the opening will be offset about 6" from the left side of the gate where it attaches to the wall of the opening.

I purchased this gate to keep my new puppy in the kitchen. I have a large opening between my kitchen and living room and this gate fit wonderfully. It was very easy to install and there was no assembling required. I would recommend this item to anyone with pets or small children. I also have a two year old and it works on him also. The ease of opening and closing is wonderful. This item was priced very reasonable.

I had my husband put this up- we needed to add our own 1 x 4 wood to screw in the gate to the wall- their screws are lame so we used our own wood screws too-
only to find this gate is way too hard to open/close. We took it down and returned it. This was for a kitchen entrance where there is high traffic, and each time we go through this gate, we had to be very patient, for it is wobbly and you need to latch it shut - have it aligned just right and it is soooo frustrating! The sliding door sticks and gets stuck every time so you need to push and pull to get it to slide open or shut.
Once you can get it to slide open, it swings out which is great, but don’t waste your time and money!

Not a bad gate and ceratinly one of very, very few that accomodate large openings. It’s plastic, so it is a bit flimsy though. Sliding open and closed is not difficult and it locks easily enough. I bought this gate for a dog gate, and my beagle figured out he could use the little openings in the panels to get a foot hold and climb over. Took him about five minutes to figure that out. Then I installed some plexiglass on the inside of the gate so he couldnt get traction, but again, he was able to jump up high enough to get his elbows on it and shift his weight right over the top. This gate needs to be aboout a foot taller for sure. If you have a dog that doesnt jump or climb, install this gate he’ll learn real quick…
