Five Stars for a reason! When they say ready to install...they mean, do you have about 4-5 minutes to spare! That's how long it took to put in our doorway! I used a power drill and the screws in the box and was done before my wife even knew I started! It opens and closes easier than our other Safety 1st extra wide baby gate. I love everything about this gate except that you have to drill into the wall. No threshold for my son to trip on when I open the gate, which is great. Overall two thumbs up from this dad!
This is a great product! It helps to keep my little one away from the stairs but is also easy to open and get through as an adult and for my older children.
This gate is perfect for the top of the stairs. It is sturdy and so easy to install. With a newly crawling 9 month old, I'll be much more relaxed about letting her explore upstairs without the fear of her falling down the stairs.
There is too much play in the plastic hinges. As soon as the blocks were removed and the door opened for the first time the weight of the door made the latch side sag and not line up. Easy to install, annoying to use.
I have a few different gates in my home, mainly for use to block stairs. This gate has proved to be one of the best. It's sturdy and feels secure but is lightweight. Upon opening the box, I really appreciated how ALL pieces needed for installation were secured right to the gate. The directions were very clear, and with everything needed right at my fingertips, it took only minutes to install correctly. Only tool needed was a screwdriver, as the cardboard spacers insured a correct fit without having to measure. The gate is easy to open so it's perfect for high traffic areas. I really like the swing stop to prevent it from swinging out over the steps at the top of the landing.
