Dont buy
Poor quality. I have another brand of the same style and the other brand is soooo much sturdier. This one feels so cheap at the hinges and lock I half wonder if something is wrong with it. If I didn’t have an immediate need for something to stop by kids from climbing the steps it would be going back.

A Pain - Not Worth It
I'm a pretty handy person - I can install things, put together furniture, replace my thermostat...I got this gate for my new dog so he won't run out the door, and ... it took hours and hours, was infuriating, and if I didn't have a new fearful dog I would've been yelling at this gate. The instructions were terrible - not clear at ALL and good luck telling everything apart. The templates didn't work for me - things ended up misaligned and I had to redrill 3 times. And after all of my struggling...it still doesn't work completely smoothly. I'm glad it's just for a dog and not for a baby and actual safety.

Nice functional gate
I love this gate because it's functional, sturdy & nice to look at, plus, it keeps my fur baby where I want him to be in my house. The hardware that attaches to the wall is a must since we have a large English labrador. The gate can easily come off the hardware if you want to open the area again between rooms & it's simple to re-attach. We purchased 2 of them.

Dangerous
This has been installed at the top of our stairs for less than a month. Already the plastic clip that "locks" the gate in place is so weakened, that you only barely need to touch the latch and it easily disengages. Our 13-month-old son was mere seconds away from falling down our stairs. Luckily I was right next to him and heard the gate latch click open.

Not Secure
The latch is not at all safe for stair use. It's just not very secure. We have the gate at the bottom of the stairs and are now replacing it because my toddler was able to shake the gate free of the latch.

Works well for pets
Bought to prevent dogs from going to basement, but allow cats access (they jump over), with option for humans to go thru. Works very well for this purpose. Was simple enough to install, and is sturdy. My only minor issue with it is the little peg that keeps the gate from swinging the opposite direction does seem inadequate - it seems to fly right over it sometimes when trying to close it. I could definitely see this being a problem if this were over stairs.

(no review title)
The wall-mounted hardware at the bottom is installed about 2.5 inches from the floor, which makes this gate a problem to install if you have base molding. The screws and hardware would overlap with the top and beveling of the molding and cause an uneven mount. In the video it appears they have installed it on a wall with molding, but I cannot see how to make this kind of installation without risking damage or an uneven mount that sticks up halfway over the molding.

Nice looking and well designed
The gate is for our dog. It is well designed yet light weight. The latch is easy to and holds well. It looks very nice at the top of our stairs.

Solid gate
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the KidCo Safeway gate for use with my grandson and i am very pleased with this product. It is a solid metal gate and it opens and closes very easy. This gate is one of the best i have seen in stores.

Have a professional install!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I put this gate together and installed it myself. It took about two hours total. We have had many baby/pet gates before, but this was the first that opened the entire width of the door frame and actually looked sophisticated. The only real problem with this gate is that there is very little room for error when installing it. First off, I recommend putting your spindles on the ends before checking the gate length and connecting the two gate pieces together as the spindles add several inches. For some reason the instructions have you doing this AFTER picking your gate length and connecting the two gate pieces to each other. I also got very frustrated with the screws that connect the two gate pieces together. The screws have to line up exact which requires having another person pull up or down to counter the gate’s tendency to pull down towards the heavier end of the gate. The box included a guide to line up your screws for the hinge and locking wall pieces to ensure proper placement. I taped it to the wall and was careful to measure each side of the screw space shown in the image to ensure it was exactly even on both sides of each wall. I also drilled holes in the wall before placing the screws in. Once I put the gate on the hinges I did need to adjust for a slight rise on the lock side. I did this by lengthing the top hinge spindle and shortening the lower hinge spindle. To open, you press down on the lock while lifting the gate up and out. My almost two-year-old definitely is not able to open it, but my five-year-old can. And my dogs, who have knocked down gates in the past, can’t get past it. Overall, it was very difficult to install, but I am happy with the finished product.

Great gate
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this gate, it keeps my kids in their playroom and ensures their safety. Easy to put together and hang. I would recommend to my friends because it has withstood our toddlers hanging on it and hasn’t budged

Easy installation
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband installed Safeway gate at the bottom of my staircase to detour my youngest grandson from climbing steps and it had been so helpful. It was very simple to install and simple to use. I would recommend to all parents and grandparents.

Very secure
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very secure gate. We tried a tension mount walk through gate but the little guy could move it. The hardware mounted gate is much more secure. I was worried the screws would put huge holes in my banister. They are not huge but are very secure. It is very easy to operate and walk through carrying the little guy. I also appreciated the fact it was a darker color. To me it blends in more than bright white.

Great features
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I recieved this baby gate a few days ago and am really happy with it. I have a 15 month old and he pushes the pressure gates over but with this gate it mounts to the wall and is very secure. I love how there is not a bar you have to step over like other gates I've seen. I reccomend this baby gate and plan on getting another one for my hallway.

Excellent Quality Gate
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This "G2001 - Safeway Black Gate" is very well made and stylish. Easy to open for an adult, but secure for small children. The installation is more permanent than some of the pressure fit type gates as you do have to screw it into the wall. If you put it into a stud on both sides, the gate easily holds up to toddlers hanging from it and bigger kids climbing over. I would rate the install as moderately difficult and it is helpful to have 2 adults to do it. Tools needed are a drill with a small drill bit and Phillips screwdriver or bit, pencil and a level. This is a gate for a place that you will need it for a few months to a few years. After it is no longer needed, you can remove the screws, fill the holes and touch up the paint and you won't even know it was there. Good quality product. Highly recommend.

Sturdy and Safe
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We use this at the top of our steps for added safety for our 2-year-old son who is just learning to use the stairs. It was easy to install with a few tools and seems very sturdy. Our son likes to push on it because he has seen us open and close it so he tries but it holds fast in place and doesn't budge. We will definitely be keeping it up for the next one.

Nice and sturdy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Gate was really easy to install. The gate is very sturdy. It wasn’t too heavy. Once the gate was installed, the gate was very easy to use. It is designed for easy removal as well. The gate also mounts safely and securely, which puts my mind at ease. The late night half asleep life of a parent, I really liked that it's easy to open and close and you can do it one handed.

Excellent safety features
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I bought this gate a week ago I never expected it to be so easy to install. I didn't need a drill only a Phillips screwdriver and the wrench that they provided. The Safeway Black Gate has safe features for top of stairways and you dont have to be mechanically advanced to install it. I highly recommend it with anyone with kids or pets.
