Easy to use and versatile!

This gate is relatively easy to install for a mounted gate. It is perfect for the top of stairs where you don't want to use a pressure mounted gate that could cause someone to trip. It is sturdy and easy to use to open and close!
I would NOT recommend this gate to anyone. Operation of the gate is the most difficult thing ever. The slide and push mechanisms (spring actions) are very stiff and do not work. Unless you have another access out of the room you are trapped. I would consider this product a safety hazard and think it should be recalled by the Product Safety Commission.

Thank you for sharing this — a safety gate should make moving between rooms easier, not leave you feeling trapped or worried, so your frustration is completely understandable. If the slide‑and‑push mechanisms feel extremely stiff or aren’t engaging the way they should, that’s not the experience we want for any family. Please reach out to our Product Tech Team at 1-812-314-6555 so we can review your gate and provide support.
