This gate, despite the price is plagued with cheap screws for hardware mounting. I had to purchase longer, wood screws to get the job done because the screws included had their heads twist off (and yes I followed the instructions the letter). This is why I give it three stars.

A consumer should not have to upgrade installation parts to ensure that it is properly installed.

I just ordered my 3rd one. We have one on top and bottom of the stairs and this one will go in the kitchen. We have much older children so it is easy to work. Plus the 1 handed is great. We have them mounted which was easy to do.

This was the second gate I had purshased and I absolutely love it! The first one I bought is one that locks in the middle with those clocklike gears. It's a beast. So I bought this one and it was like heaven. You can open this gate with one hand and a toddler in the other. I never attached it to the hardware because it'd wreck our doorway. And reading through the other comments of those that hate it, that seems to be their dislikement of it. I had to buy another gate for another part of the house and I bought the cheaper version of this one with the holes in the gate part and I must say it is not good. The lock is tempermental. Sometimes it works but for the most part it doesn't. So spend a little more for this one. It's worth it!

I absolutely love this gate, and it's a great price! I'm going to purchase my 3rd one after I write this review. I have one at the bottom of the stairs, in a door way, and I'm getting one for the top of the stairs.

We purchased this gate thinking it would be easy to use, and expected it to work better,since it was more expensive. It is difficult to lock in to place,and forget it if you have wide baseboards. We have had other gates in the past, and we consider this one to be the worst!!!!! Don't waste your money!

I have 2 of these gates and put one in my mothers house. I have a 13 month old, 2 1/2 year old and a 13 year old dog. My dog has mastered the pushing of the gate to open it. When she pushes it open it takes the paint off of the wall. This gate has to be constently re-adjusted to fit tightly in the openning. People not familiar with the gate have no idea how to work it. The only thing good I can say about it, is that it is easy to clean.

We purchased this gate for our 3 yr olds room. He was moving to a big boy bed so this was nice to put in his doorway. I have to tell you don't waste your money. My husband installed this gate and in 3 weeks time it is now broken. Our son pushes at it and it releases, allowing him to get out of his room. Now I know he's a boy and yes he likes to hang off things, but we figured baby gates are supposed to be stronge enough to hold kids in! Again don't buy it won't last long especially if you have rough kids.

This gate is FANTASTIC! I bought this at a yard sale from parents who no longer needed the gate and it is so easy to use. Considering that I bought it 2nd hand and have had no problem using it, I have to wonder if some of the other reviews were about a different gate. This gate has no hardware to adjust given that it is pressure secured and snugs up to our basebords and walls with no problem once it is set to lock. My Germand shepherd knocked over the previous gates, but not this one. It is a good investment.

This gate takes a minute to get used to trying to adjust, but once you get the hang of it, it is a perfect gate, especially adjusting around baseboards or warped walls. I use it everyday, and don't have problems with it. I never used the hardware, my friend has the same gate and says it was a pain.

We had to get this gate because it is the only pressure mounted gate we could find that would accomodate very thick baseboards. It still isn't tight. I can't imagine moving it all the time. We use it to permanently block one of the doorways to our dining room to keep our baby out of the dog food and water bowls! It was installed one time and we just don't touch it. We did not try the hardware because we didn't want to mark up our doorways in a brand-new home. This one will do for now. Thick baseboards seem to be a big problem that we have.
