Safety 1st Baby Gates for Doorways, Pressure Mount Lift, Lock and Swing, Dog Gates, Hardware Gate for Stairs, Fits 28"-42" Wide

I bought this gate to keep my dog out of my dining room. It is just the right size for this. This gate is well made and easy to adjust to the needed size. The handle on top makes it easy to install and remove. It appears to be well made and feels sturdy. I am glad I picked this gate.

Had one of these previously, this design is much easier to use.

Sturdy, works well. Worth the price

The media could not be loaded. If your house has HIGH floor trim, this is the gate for you!! We have tried two other baby gates and none of them have been secure enough for installation above our trim. This is a pressure gate, so the whole gate can either be fully removed or installed to swing open. It comes with hardware for installation for both options. We did NOT want to install any hardware due to the nature of our walls, so you might notice that in my picture/video, we don’t have the brackets installed, which is not recommended, but if you’re like us and looking for a secure “no-drill” baby gate, this one passes with flying colors. We have a 90lb black lab and a 19 month old and this gate holds up to both so far. Usage is very simple, you just press the button in and pull the handle up. Video doesn’t do it justice, as I’m filming with the other hand and it does require a bit of pressure to push down the handle. Definitely recommend!!

I did not need this for a child. In fact it was the opposite. I needed to keep the dog out of the space where the parrots are kept (my bedroom/office) as they are not in their cage until bedtime. Parrots wings are temporarily clipped as the house learns to live with birds (they are still babies) and gets in the habit of front and back doors and other parrot precautions once the parrots are flight trained. But I wanted something to keep dog out so I could leave my door open and something my 3 year old granddaughter could open without help. Until the dog learns to ignore the parrots in general, this was the only gate out of 7 I tried that did what I needed without any major adjustments. I purposefully have the gate just snug enough to close and open and not swing out if not clicked into place. So it doesn't actually need the button to open it. it just slides open and closed. Basically, I simply used less pressure when mounting.I wanted to highlight a diff type of use for the gate in case there is others out there who dont want to keep a kid in or out, but in fact allow even the smallest toddler to open and close like they would a reg door but keep big pets away from little pets until every can live in peace without fear lol.

I have an old FisherPrice pressure gate (30+ years old) that I used with my kids and have now gotten out for my grandkids. I do put it at the top of the stairs; I always supervise the kids there but the placement is pretty reliable unless a kid tries to intentionally shake it with some force. I could lift the gate out and replace it with one hand and the gate width is locked in place, so it would be ready to go the next time you need it. Of course that item is no longer available for purchase. We have since built an outdoor deck and I needed an additional gate out there. I don't want to permanently install one, and this was the closest to my old gate. This product has been, on balance, a disappointment. It is a pressure gate, but you have to use both hands to place it in an opening, and the procedure is, IMO, awkward to do. You also cannot lock the width of the gate in place. And, I don't know why, but the pressure pads do not grip side walls or posts as well as my old gate. It does not take much pushing to displace the installed gate. I can forgive everything else, but this last point makes the gate very unreliable. I do use it as it visually keeps toddlers from heading to the stairs, and prevents a child from tripping and falling down the stairs accidentally. But, if a child intentionally heads over to it, I feel compelled to go over and "spot" until they move away from the area. I will say, we used it for one of the "granddogs" this last weekend, and that worked fine.

I was worried when purchasing that it would be hard to install but it was alright. My only complaint is that the pack with the screws and instructions was placed inbetween the 2 panels of the gate, and without the instructions being accessible i had a hard time figuring out how to open the gate enough to retrieve the pack. Took me a good 10 minutes of fiddling with it before I finally got the handle to release enough to allow me to slide them apart and get the packet out. Im not sure why sealing the instructions and hardware inside the gate was implemented, but it was a bit frustrating. I was worried i might damage the gate trying to get it open since i wasn't sure exactly how to work it yet. Other than that its installed easily and works fine in keeping my special needs 4yr old out of trouble. Overall good product, just a bit of an annoyance while trying to unpack everything.
