The gate only swings one way and the latch is plastic. I don't think it will last. I was disappointed as I ordered one other one about two months ago and thought this was the same one. My mistake. The other gate swings both ways and the latch is metal. Much better.

We purchased this baby gate for the top of our stairs. It installed very quickly and works well. We did not screw it into the walls but just used the pressure mounting. It is very secure. It does take two hands to open and shut it and the opening isn't very wide but it is a great value.

Worked great to keep my 1 yr old grandson from getting to our stairs. Easy to put together and I liked having the extension for different walkways. So far it stood up for a 2 week visit from the grandkids. The older kids loosened the wall pads with their running into it, but that's normal for kids having fun. It survived and will be ready for the next visit!

This gate is great for the price you're paying. We're planning to buy a couple more of them now that we've tested it out. I can't say I'm overly impressed with the design of the gate since it won't stay closed if you don't have enough tension on it and it will not open easily if you have too much tension on it....but for the price, it's definitely worth saving the money over the more fancy gates if money is an issue. It seems to fit reasonably well in all of the openings we need it for. We have openings we're using it for ranging from 32" to about 40 or 41". My 3 year old daughter is able to open it, which I like, but my little baby will still be protected (as long as we make sure our toddler closes the gates behind her). I also like that it comes with one extension. I would recommend this gate if you're looking for the swing gate design and don't want to spend a lot of money!

I bought another gate and my daughter learned fast how to open it. This one is easy to open yet my very intelligent 3 year old can't figure it out, which is great because its meant to keep her away from dangerous basement stairs and a scary open platform in our laundry room! I love that it swings both ways and it was really easy to install!

I had this shipped to store and had it in 5 days which was fine. Once put up it seemed sturdy and was easy to open and close. When searching for a gate I assumed all opened both ways which is my fault but I was disappointed to realize this only opened in one direction. Overall a great gate it just didn't work for us bc we needed a gate going to our kitchen so we go back and forth through it a lot and needed a two direction one :).

I bought this gate to keep my dog out of my daughter's room. I love the fact that it locks the door in place because there is no way for the dog to get in there. The only thing that I wish it had was a spring to make it shut once someone walked through it. That would make this amazing.

This item is very easy to install, you can have it up and ready within 10 minutes, a little longer if you opt to do a little more hardware installation which is optional. Using the locking mechanism (opening and closing it) is counter intuitive (before buying it, I thought you squeeze the handle to open, instead you must lift it), but after a short time you get used to it. The gate is well made and solid for what it is and a good value for about $32. I use mine as a gate to keep my dogs from entering in to areas that they shouldn't. I am giving this product only 4 stars instead of 5 because the passageway (the opening) that the swinging gate creates is narrower than I prefer.

We had used several different baby gates (wooden, plastic and etc), before finally settled on this one! Great construction, simple installation, convenient, easy to use and keep baby safe and away from places you don't want them to enter! Would definitely recommend to any family!

We were using a wooden removable gate for our dog which was a pain, because it kept falling down all the time. Our son has one of these gates to confine his 2 dogs. It works so well for them, he suggested we get one for ours. It is so great & easy, I wish I had purchased 1 years ago.
