QDOSSafety Extending SafeGate Baby Gate - Meets Tougher European Standards - Angle Mount Capable - Templates for Easy Installation - Top of Stairs - Fits openings 26"-41"| Hardware Mount | Slate

Two dogs and a tiny human on the way, we decided to upgrade from a pressure-mounted gate at the stairs to our basement. This is a major upgrade, feels really solid, metal, would definitely recommend for a location that needs a permanent/longer term fixture. I see a few complaints about it being really hard to build and just...no. It's fine. Takes a little time and you'll want a drill for the wall screws, but the instructions are easy enough, it includes a template so you can drill without even measuring. Really not bad at all.After a few weeks I will say, opening isn't bad but it's not that easy to close one handed, at least with the bi-directional swing install option. Optional stoppers keep it from going the other way if you want, without that you have to kinda find the right spot to drop it into the latch. I like being able to swing it both directions for it's worth the hassle for me. Also I'm super tall and usually just step over it. (You'd have to be about 6'4" for that to be an easy option.) Not a deal breaker, def still recommend it.

I don't have much to compare to as this is our first gate, but after shopping around for awhile we decided to go with this gate (we were looking for an angle mount gate that we could slightly modify to allow a cat to pass through the gate). The gate took about an hour to install (also installed a banister protector), but was pretty straight forward. The gate is solid and we are happy with our purchase. *The gate is a bit stiff to open (latch), but everything seems to 'break-in' and operation of the gate is much more smooth after a week or so of use.

Installation was done by my boyfriend and he’s usually great with puzzles and instructions but this one seemed to frustrate him just a little and he had to do it over the course of a few days bc it was a bit noisy and the location is next/close to the room where we put baby to sleep. Suggest purchasing and installing prior to baby arriving. Also, gets some getting used to but I’ve hyperextended my thumb a couple painful times trying to unlock/open it. Once you figure it out and realize the right about of thumb force needed to pull/open it, it is a great stair blocker. Daughter is starting to hang on it though sometimes which obviously we stop her but it’s held up about 6 months so far. We have a dog too.

I have several baby gates that are great except they all have a bar at the bottom so my roomba can't get around. I purchased this due to no bar. This thing is darn near impossible to open/close. We can't stand it! Do not purchase if you actually want to be able to get in and out of the area you put it in. It takes 2 hands and is a struggle!

This gate is perfect for what we were needing.it looks great in the house. Steardy , easy to put up, latches nicely stays close and won't open when the dogs jump on it. Great product.

Most baby gates would not fit the top of my stairs and the ability to rotate the hardware made this such an easy installation/baby gate to use. Highly recommend for troublesome stair areas.

Purchased to control access to our office by our grandson. Definitely works even when he hangs on it to complain about not being inside. Only downside is that he now closes the gate when we forget and manages to get his fingers caught [OUCH!]. Not a defect in the gate - able to install it outside the door frame for full width access - unlike most gates that are installed within the door opening. It is more permanent and any holes in the sheetrock will need to be repaired after it comes down. Small price to pay to keep little man safe.

Very sturdy and easy to install. Toddler and dog proof.Opening the gate latch can be difficult if you have long nails or weak hand grip. Would not recommend for either of these situations.
