EasyBaby Retractable Baby Gate, 33" Tall, Extends up to 55'' Wide, White / Child Safety Baby Gates, Pet Retractable Gates for Stairs, Doorways, Hallways, Indoor and Outdoor

So this gate is really great overall. The set up and installation was clear and one MAJOR bonus was that it comes with an extra set of mounts. This was great for us because we can easily move it between top or bottom of stairs as needed. Extremely convenient. The locking mechanism is solid and I know I won't have to worry about my children opening.It should be noted, this is not a hard gate. While it is sturdy material, I wouldn't recommend allowing kids to lean on, hold on to, hit, etc.One tiny flaw: the included wall anchors. They are really flimsy, and I was surprised that for a protective gate, they wouldn't think to include even slightly stronger ones. Just a few hammer hits to the anchor in a snug hole will bend it. They are usable, but harder to install in wood or steel (which might be common areas if you put by stairs). I had extra plastic anchors in my toolbox that did the job just fine. If you have extra anchors or are willing to spend $2 at a home improvement store, I'd recommend doing so.Basic handy skills are recommended, and if you can workaround the flimsy anchors, I highly recommend the gate.

I recently purchased the EasyBaby Retractable Baby Gate to keep my dogs from going upstairs, and it has exceeded my expectations. This gate is not only perfect for babies but also ideal for pet owners looking to restrict access with ease.Setting up the gate was straightforward, and I appreciated how easy it was to install and adjust. The retractable feature allows me to extend or retract the gate with just one hand, making it incredibly convenient when my hands are full with the dogs.Once extended, the locking mechanism is sturdy and reliable, ensuring the gate stays securely in place. It gives me peace of mind knowing my dogs won't sneak upstairs or into restricted areas.The design is sleek and blends well with my home decor. It’s also durable enough to withstand my dog’s curiosity and attempts to test its boundaries. Overall, the EasyBaby Retractable Baby Gate is a fantastic solution for pet owners seeking a versatile, easy-to-use gate that keeps their pets safe and secure. Highly recommended!

Excellent gate for babies, relatively easy to install if you have the right tools, and in our case a small piece of plywood had to be cut out to be installed on the railing post (see pictures).We have an 11 months old, so the gate was overdue for at least a month as she starts going everywhere and likes to climb those stairs.The gate comes with the necessary hardware (but not for unique setups, like ours), and in our case we got 2 sets of hardware, but only used one (and have plenty of spacers left).The base mount of the gate is the easiest to install, and this is where you should begin. Just requires a Phillips screwdriver.The top mount of the gate. There was no stud in the wall, so I just used heavier duty drywall anchors. The ones provided are not heavy enough for long term use just in my opinion. What is excellent is that plenty of spacers are provided to compensate for the gap created by baseboard below, and they have 4 holes in them. Just remember to use the outside holes first, when attaching the spacers, and then the inside as they are used to attach the actual mount for the gate attachment.Base catching mount was second easiest to install in our situation as it simply required 2 screws and a driver. I had to reposition mine, because of the torque I used and one of screws broke off. The stair post I was attaching to is also made from oak, which is a very hard wood.Top catching mount was easy to install, but took most time to come up with the right custom made spacer for the mount. See pictures. I made a spacer out of plywood that was about 3/4" thick, cut it at an angle to compensate for the slope in the vertical oak post, used 1/2" screws and some glue (obviously both not provided). Then I used 10" long zip ties (8" long were too short for our set up), and finally drilled out a hole on the back of the post and used 1 long screw there (again, obviously not provided) to fix the mount in place from rotation.Overall, in my opinion, this is an excellent sturdy gate, and can be installed anywhere if you have right tools.

I have installed these gates in a couple areas of my home in order to strategically wrangle my dogs - out of the kitchen for example.They were easy to install and look great. I find them much more attractive than the traditional wood or plastic gates.They are also much more convenient for frequent use. When I need to open and close them multiple times per day, they're much quicker than having to remove and reset pressure mounted baby gates. They also fully expose the doorway - unlike the baby gates with a "door" that opens but still have a bar across the bottom, and the walking path is more narrow. When this gate is not in use the doorway is fully open with nothing sticking out in the way.After almost 8 months of frequent use (opening/closing multiple times per day) they are still working smoothly and have had no issues.On the note of sturdiness and lock feature: the lock feature does work and generally prevents the mesh from moving, but isn't perfect and there is some flex. For my use this is not a problem as my dogs are pretty respectful of boundaries (they won't push on the gate or try to get through it) so in day to day use I don't even bother engaging the lock. However if your dog is particularly eager and pushes boundaries, you may want to make a point to use long screws to install and be religious about using the lock.In addition to pets I think this gate could work well for children, although I would personally be cautious when using them around stairs - I think they'd work but as I mentioned there is a touch of flex even when locked.

Ours was a good temporary solution until we had a hard gate on our back porch. My kids were a little rough on it and my 2 year old quickly figured out opening it. I was hoping to use it at our new home but my husband forget to take some of the parts when we moved. It would be nice if replacement pieces could be purchased.
