Q: Can this be used for two banisters? Neither said it the wall.

submitted by Mrsgreene - 8 years ago

  • A: We mounted it on two banisters. If the top is directly above the bottom, it will work fine. If one part is wider it won't work.

    submitted bycharlottewoodwind - 8 years ago

  • A: If i understand your question correctly, you are attempting to mount it between two banisters and not against two walls. The problem would be there is no surface to mount the bottom upon. A banister normally sticks out several inches from the wall. Hence the top supports have something to mount upon but the bottoms would not. In order for the gate to work properly, all four corners must be securely attached to some surface.

    submitted byBill - 8 years ago

Q: What is the recommended distance from the floor to install gate? Can I install the gate so that the bottom is 6" from floor (so that cats can pass underneath and my dog can't jump it)?

submitted by Whitney - 10 months ago

  • A: No more than 3".

Very safe for my kid the design is smooth and nice colour that suits every house. It’s very easy to install it. Also it’s very easy to clean it as it’s not hard at all.

Terrible Sliding Mechansim

I do not recommend this gate. The only positive thing about it is that it matches our banisters perfectly. However, it fails to perform basic functions. The sliding mechanism is poorly designed so that the clips that hold the two pieces together move and prevent the gate from sliding open. I need two hands to slide it side to side, which renders it essentially unusable. I cannot constantly be setting down my baby to unlock this gate while standing on the stairs. Also, we precisely measured to mount it, and the latch still does not line up perfectly with where the gate needs to enter.

Great for controlling dog.

I installed this a a doorway between our mudroom and kitchen to keep the dog in the mudroom where she sleeps at night and when we are away for a few hours. It does the job. Disregard the negative comments about this gate. If you follow the instructions and install it correctly, it is sturdy and works fine. This is a high quality gate that is made well.

Safety first definitely recommend

I would be lost without our stair gate as it keeps our granddaughter from falling down the stairs. It fits perfectly at the top of the stairs and is really easy to fit. It’s really versatile so you can adjust the width to accommodate the width of your stairs.

Augie’s Gate

We bought the gates to keep our pup Augie on our decks when we are on them. It was the perfect solution.

Awful gate

We recently bought two of these and both are awful. So difficult to open and shut. You have to have the perfect scenario in the house to even have a chance of mounting them correctly.

Terrible

Terrible. Have had experience with several different baby gates and this is by far the worst. Very hard to open and not smooth at all. This is not usable in my opinion.

Not a “quality” item…

Latch arrived all bent. Wouldn’t close right. Had to get crafty with some pliers and a bench vise. Seems like (for the effort) I should have just made my own gate…

Locking mechanism bad

The locking mechanism doesn’t fit and it’s extremely difficult to open and shut. It’s stripping the screws out of the wall with the force needed to unlock, and has smashed my hand on more than one occasion.I’ve reached out to evenflo about this and hope to hear back soon

Simple and Secure.

My kids have two at their house. As grandparents, we needed one also so searched for this same unit. Easy to install. Works well. The biggest challenge was finding one - there don't seem to be any at any major stores/online stores in Canada that we could find. We had to go to the states to get one.

Best gate ever!

Used this gate 30 years ago, and when it came back into stock, I couldn't wait to get a couple more for my daughter to use for her child. So easy to install, so easy to remove the gate without having to remove the hardware and then it's ready to go again when needed. Can be operated with one hand easily.

First off, I love

First off, I love the look of this gate! It matches our home perfectly and doesn’t stick out and lock tacky. As for the functionality of it, my family uses it just fine. But whenever guests come over they have the worst time trying to get it opened and closed. It can be a little on the loud side if that’s something that concerns you, but overall I think it’s a good product.

Love the look of this I’m just not sure it’s the best.. it’s not a smooth opening and gets squeaky really easy! We left it up because we love the way it looks!

Avoid

The worst. One gate doesn’t slide open properly and the other gets stuck at the latch. Both gates are mounted at the top of the stairs and the defects to the gates are a huge safety hazard. By the time we installed these, it was past the return window. Absolutely terrible.
