This gate was very easy to put up but make sure you check the measurements bc the gate extender made the gate way too big and it barely works as it. The screws are extended all the way out so it isn't as sturdy as our other gate but stairways are tricky to fit. The handle works by pulling the red button back to expose the end of a white handle that you lift up that pulls back the piece that allows the door to open and close. Requires two hands so it's not easy carrying a two year old. For the price and ability to step through, is good though. We paid twice as much for an easier to open gate.

We purchased this gate to keep our new Shi-tzu puppy in our kitchen. After reading numerous reviews on this gate we decided to purchase. We actually ordered three of them for all three entries into the kitchen (one being the top of the stairs). They were easy to install (my 12 year old daughter assisted me). The only problem is that the slats are too wide and the puppy can get through them. They are a good three inches apart at the end where the gate opens. They will be great gates once she gets bigger, but for now we are still having to use the mesh gates in front of the metal one.

I bought this gate about a month ago to keep my dog out of the living room. It works really great! It is super sturdy and fit's well in our doorway. The lock is secure so I don't have to worry about her pushing against it and breaking in. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it was really tricky to install. Other than that, it is great and I would recommend.

I am about to buy my 3rd one! I love this gate! I have an 18 month old that loves to get in everything and is now climbing out of his crib. This is the stylish, most value for your money gate, my opinion! I would recommend this product to everyone who has little ones or pets that like to get in to rooms that are off limits! The price is great most gates go for 40-80 bucks, this one is great for the money and we love them, also very durable!

Easy to install if you have a power drill to screw in the wall mounts for extra support. I had help installing it because it's hard to measure. With just the pressure alone it does not feel safe. I like that the gate only swings one way and you have to push down on handle to activate the lock. The safety lock is sometimes not easy to open with one hand. The opening is very narrow to walk through. It's nice to have the extensions and i like the metal but your baby can get hurt on the metal rails if they do not have proper balance yet. Overall it does the job.

I should have bought this when my baby first started crawling because its so much easier to contain him to the play area. I really like that it's able to stay closed without actually locking it so that my 2 year old can still lift the latch to come in and out (since he's potty training and needs to run to the BR). I didn't actually mount it because the instructions say that mounting the wall cups is only absolutely necessary if you're placing the gate at the top of a staircase. The pressure is enough to hold it; it's been up for 2 weeks and hasn't moved at all. I think I'll buy another one to put in the doorway of my boys' bedroom so that when I start putting baby in his toddler bed I don't have to worry about him getting up and wandering around the house.

this gate is great. Spring loaded. Great for the nursery door. Easy gate latch too! I think my son will figure it out wventually becuase he is a little problem solver at 21 months, but so far it does the job. My only thought is that the gate slats are pretty far apart in my opinion.

I have a Regalo and a Summer baby gate. We needed a few more. Since I preferred our second-hand Regalo, I ordered two of those. But after staying up far too late for someone with a 10-month-old to set this up (it didn't take long, but let's face it I need all the sleep I can get) it didn't even come CLOSE to the quality of our other Regalo. The design was similar, and that's what I liked: the way the gate latch lifts up and can be easily locked. I also like that the door does not have a spring, so when Baby is asleep, we don't have to fight bouncy gates all evening; we can just leave them open. Like a normal door. But this one... First of all, the one I set up tonight didn't come with the hex tool. Luckily, I have a bit for my screwdriver that fits, but seriously... Second and MOST OF ALL: to get it pressure mounted tight enough so that it doesn't wobble when shaken, the door WON'T OPEN. I have installed several baby gates by this point, and this is by far the worst. When I loosen the pressure screws so that the gate can actually be (barely) opened, the entire structure is horribly wobbly. I will be returning this gate, and the unopened one. I thought Regalo was my "gate brand" (the Summer latch left was too shallow for the Rambunctious Baby) but I guess it's back to the drawing board. Too bad. I really wanted this to work.

This is a pressure mount but there are parts that have to be screwed into the wall. I was looking for something that actually attached to the wall and had a door since I was annoyed by stepping over the ones we owned. This is PERFECT for my 2 year old, who can push the others down. Plus is very inexpensive compared to other similar models at other stores.. a definite buy. Con: the doorway is rather slim. My mom is plus sized and fits, but if you are really big you probably won't fit through the opening.

I ordered 2 of these gates to keep my 2 dogs out of the living room and from going upstairs. Right out of the box I was slightly confused on how the latch would work but after ready the instructions and following them it worked great. Install was so easy and had both gates up and working in about 15 minutes. Granted the dogs aren't to happy that I cut off space in the house for them. But it saves on my cleaning time.
