All of the bad reviews simply didn’t read the instructions. You use the tension on either side to bring the gate latch closed. Then and only then should you remove the last zip tie. It’s pretty good for the price! Works for my 5-10 pound dogs

I bought this a few days ago …. The latch is too far away from the catch to close and you can’t adjust so I have to tie it with a string. Very disappointing
Not good for puppies or small dogs

Horrible for puppies or small dogs. There is a lather gap between the spindles near the gate hinge both of my puppies got loose when i was not home. Bad design not sure when there is not a spindle there. For reference my puppies are 7.2 and 5.8 pound puggles.

Not a great design. When you tighten the bolts on the sides to make it fit the doorway snug and properly, it squeezes the gate inward and the metal bows into itself and makes it difficult to open the gate door. Poor design, will be returning this.
1 reply from Summer team - 3 months ago
Hi - it sounds like you may have tightened the bolts a little bit too much - if you have the gate installed too tightly, it could be difficult to open. Try adjusting the tension bolts to be just a bit looser. You can also click on the product listing and check out our 5 minute installation tips video (it's one of the last images). If none of this works, please reach out to our Summer Infant customer service so we can help you. Thanks!

I have a very strong and destructive 2 year old and I’m beyond impressed this gate is not broken yet. He will rock the crap out of this gate (trying to escape) and it will become loose, as expected, but when we tighten it up, it works just as it should and always have. We have had this gate for a year now.
Great

Question - 9 months ago, Verified purchaser
All the reviews that say it doesn’t latch you need to put it together and secure it so the pressure pulls it together. That is how all gates are designed. This is a great gate! Love the auto close feature.
Good quality gate.

This is a good quality gate. I run childcare centers, so I have used a lot of differnt gates. This one is good. I've seen a couple negative reviews complaning that the gate is "bent" or "deformed". This is most likely not the case. The gate is supposed to be "deformed" slightly so that it stays in place when the compression pads are tightened. If it was not, then the gate would not stay put.
This gate is pure garbage.

This gate was so bent and misaligned, there was no way the door was ever going to latch closed. The door top was 3 inches away from the latch. I wish I had read the reviews before I wasted my time buying this.
1 reply from Summer team - 10 months ago
We are sorry to hear about your experience. As a pressure-mounted doorway gate, the frame is intentionally angled to help create the pressure once installed, but the door may appear off-center before installation is completed. As the tension bolts are extended through installation, the door and door latches should come into alignment. If we can provide further assistance by a member of our team, please contact (401) 671-6551 so we can address your concerns. Many thanks!
Brilliant gate!

I am so impressed and happy with this gate. I managed to install it without swearing or damaging any woodwork!! The owner's manual includes a page of configurations so you can build the gate to fit your space, without guessing- will attempt to include a photo. I nearly returned as defective- until I noticed the bright blue tag that shows "before" vs "after" installation. The door does not align properly UNTIL the gate is installed properly... (will also try to include a photo of this "note").

Would have loved to use this gate but when they assembled the frame they have put all the plastic inserts together wrong making it impossible to use the wall adjusters, making it impossible to use. Well I figured Id try to reassemble in correct way but you cannot do so without entirely destroying the inserts and cannot find anywhere to purchase replacements
Frame came bent and unable to close

It came bent and the gate doesn’t close. Since we ordered it prematurely before we actually needed it by the time we took it out of the box to put it up it was to late to return! So disappointed

Hi there - before installation is completed, the door may appear off-center. As the gate is installed and the tension bolts are extended, the door and door latches should come into alignment. Please contact us at https://www.summerinfant.com/consumer-relations/contact-us so that we can help!

Gate was crooked and misaligned from the package. The gate doesn’t lock in place unless you slam it. Bought for our daughters nursery to keep the dogs out but it’s more of an inconvenience at this point.

We are sorry to hear about your experience. It's possible that the installation was not fully complete. Before installation is completed, the door may appear mis-aligne / off-center. As the tension bolts are extended, the door and door latches should come into alignment. Please contact us at https://www.summerinfant.com/consumer-relations/contact-us so that we can help!

I really love this gate. It's sturdy and there are no pinch points. One star off because it was difficult to install alone but that's my problem not the manufacturers haha!

Honestly, I expected more quality. Scratches and defects out of the box. One of the extensions doesn’t look straight to me. Auto-close?? I don’t think so. Some times it closes and sometimes it doesn’t. Got to push it down in order to lock.
Perfect Size, Easy Instal

This gate fits out wide stairway perfectly and we have a piece to spare. The gate comes with three extenders, S, M and L. The wall mount works great and we are pleased with the protection it has been and continues to provide us. My son constantly climbs up on it, pulls and shakes it and it doesn't budge.
Worth it!

I’ve had this gate for 5 months now, and I love it! I have not had any problems with it at all. It was easy to install & does exactly what I need it to do. I love that it can swing in or out, so you can have it open on whatever side fits your needs.
