Ready right out of the box!

The gate came ready to install right out of the box! The instructions were clear and it was really easy to install on the top of our stairs.

Super easy to install

Very very easy to install just don't take the instructions off the front like my husband almost did. Only con for us was it's just a little too short for our large kitchen opening but we ended up being able to use it on a set of stairs. Great for dogs too!

Easy install

It is perfect for the stairs because of the size of the brackets. They easily fit under a stair rail. The only difficult part is having to drill holes before screwing into walls.

Product is unsafe
on July 1, 2024
Posted by: Designer
Installed product per manufacturer's instructions. The issue we are having with ours is that the clamps that set the width do not hold position properly. Our gate popped open when our 1 y/o pushed on it. Fortunately I was there and caught her. Upon inspection of the gate I found the lower clamps had allowed the gates bottom latch to become disengaged. I re-adjusted the gate and opened it and closed it a few times and once again found that the bottom latch was out of adjustment. This design is going to kill a child, the latches are clearly poorly designed (I am a design engineer who designs machines and safety guarding) and I even recall making a comment to my wife that I didn't like the locking mechanism. I've since retrofitted my gate so it is no longer adjustable. Again do not buy, this gate will kill a child some day. Keep your children safe. Had the incident happened at work we would have had to file a near miss report with OSHA for a potentially fatal event.

Great Gate for the top of stairs
on July 1, 2024

We live in a split level house so the the area we hang out in is at the top of the stairs and with this gate it is screwed into the wall so when my son hangs on it I KNOW it will not go down with him. It also has double locks which is nice.

Easy assembly, sturdy gate but hard to open
on July 1, 2024
Posted by: Adrienne SK
This gate looks great and is very sturdy. The assembly instructions were very easy to understand and execute. I find it very difficult to open the gate. I have to use two hands and despite following the directions closely it does not open easily. I cannot open it while holding my toddler.

Good but needs a version 2.0
on July 1, 2024

So this seems like an awesome gate. I absolutely love the concept of just placing it and attaching it, other manufacturers should be on notice. I also love the fact that it attaches ABOVE base and molding. The only things I have to say is that 1: when you follow all the directions in order, which are super easy, the gate, mine, doesn't match up with the jamb. There is a little sag in the gate so in order to get it to latch you have to lift up. I'll be dropping the latch side to match, which will put visible holes in my wall that I'll need to fill and paint. I think it would help if there was at least some sort of adjustment up and down, maybe with a screw, 2: that the wing that swings out to prevent it from swinging over the stairs is super easy to move, like a kid could do it accidentally. I'll be adding a set screw to this part so it won't be possible, and 3: it's minor but some trim that snaps onto cover the screws would be nice. Even with these issues tho I won't be returning it as I think in the future I can mitigate these problems and overall they are minor compared to the ease of installation and quality. I'll prob need four more.
