I'm a fan!

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!

Well constructed but lightweight, easy install!

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.

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.

Perfect Gate
on July 1, 2024
Posted by: Anonymous
We have been looking for a gate that works on our staircase at the bottom of our basement stairs. We use our basement as the play room, and we've had a hard time finding something that works to keep our 11 month old out, but our 2.5 year old in. When we found this gate, we were extremely happy that as soon as we opened it, we saw it was different than other gates we tried. It was easy to install (to long thin plates that attach to the wall on each side) and it expanded to the width that we needed. The handle is tricky enough that our toddler can't open it, but if we leave it unlocked and open, he can go up and down without tripping on the base. We have tried a few others and he would fall over the bottom piece when trying to go up and down. It's extremely sturdy and supported both my 2.5 year old trying to mess with it (haha) and my 11 month old pulling himself up on it. I am extremely happy with this product and will be purchasing another for our upper staircase as well!

Gate does not work in drywall
on July 1, 2024
Posted by: now we need a new gate and wall repairs
What drew me to this gate was that it specifically said it would work in drywall. After less than a week on use (without the kids present, so no climbing or standing on it) the drywall screws have all come loose on the gate side. It works well, as long as you have not intention of ever opening it. If you do want to use it as a gate, I would strongly recommend you look somewhere else. At best, this buys you a couple weeks of use and a wall left behind as a mess. Don't buy
Response from doreljuvenile.comBy Manufacturer, Consumer Care Team, December 2, 2025
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, and I’m really sorry to hear about the issues you’ve had with the gate. It’s definitely not the experience we want for our customers—especially when the product states it’s compatible with drywall.
The screws coming loose after such a short time isn’t normal, and we understand how frustrating it is to deal with wall damage on top of that. We’d like to look into this for you, as in most cases proper anchors or updated mounting hardware resolve the issue and allow the gate to function safely and reliably, even with regular opening and closing.
Please reach out to our Product Tech Team directly at 1-812-314-6555, so we can help troubleshoot, or explore a replacement or refund—whatever best fixes this for you. We truly appreciate the feedback and want to make this right.
