This gate is beautiful and is perfect for visible areas of a home. We use it at the end of our hallway, where it meets the living room. I would not say it's easy to install, b/c any time you are trying to line up something perfectly on two sides, it's a challenge. We had a family member who is very handy help us. He did a great job installing it and - as a result - the gate works great. (If you don't get things lined up right, it would not latch and un-latch smoothly, which is a must for high traffic areas.) It's easy to open (and of course close) one-handed, which is a must since baby is usually in my arms. You can also remove it from its brackets fairly easily (i.e. remove the gate, while the mounting hardware stays attached to the wall). That is a nice feature and we recently did that when we had grandparents staying with us for a few days. I uploaded 2 pictures of the gate. In the one picture, the gate is opened as far as it can go. The biggest draw back is it only opens 90 degrees and it's made for only an inside mount. As a result, when it's open, it's sort of a sitting duck to get pushed beyond 90 degrees and I'm worried it's life will be cut short by cracking the plastic pieces that hold the metal hinges (i.e. ... kids roughhousing and someone pushes into it when it's open ...). The second picture is a close-up of the plastic pieces that hold the metal hinges. To address that concern, we initially wanted to mount it just outside the hallwall walls (so the mounting hardware would actually be on the living room walls). The outside mount we desired would have allowed the gate to open all the way back and be flush with the left wall you can see in the picture. We were going to put "bumper" pads on the gate so wall would not get damaged if gate bumped against it. However, to accomplish all of this, we needed a 2"x2" piece of wood to use for the right side of the mounting hardware (for things to line up) and we didn't have time to get that wood and stain it and varnish it, so we just installed it with the inside mount. Sometimes I regret not taking the extra time doing the outside mount. Plan ahead and do what works best for your family. Yes, I would recommend it to a friend and I still gave it 5 stars. Just consider what's mentioned above before you install.
I love this gate. Looks beautiful with my banister. It looks like it belongs there, not like an eyesore like other gates. The little latch to open being on the side it a little weird, but makes it look nice. Very helpful paper guideline to tape to the wall to help with where to put the screws for installation.
Have to admit I had my father-in-law install it but he told me it was pretty straight forward. It is installed at the top of the stairs to keep the little ones safe. It looks nice with the wood grain and matches most of my trim well. The gate is secure but still easy to operate.
We've had these same gates to control where our dogs can go in our house at different times. This gate is a replacement because a new rescue dog chewed one of the old ones. Even if you give your dogs the full run of your house all the time, they're helpful for keeping them off the kitchen floor when you're mopping or away from an outside door when you're bringing things in and out and you don't want the dogs outside. We have two of these gates in full-time use and love them.
I was skeptical when I read the reviews on the problems with installing the gate but my husband did not have much trouble. He does suggest to be sure you do your own measurements because their measurement guide was off by 1/8" which could make the gate a little wobbly. It only took him about 20 minutes to actually install it. We stained 2 pieces of wood & attached to each side of our banister so to not have to screw into the banister and it came out great. (I included a picture.) It is easy to open with one hand & then simply pull close. Very pleased.
This is a gate to keep things in or out, and it does just that. The unlatching mechanizm is a little hard to work, but then it has to be difficult enough so that inquisitive toddlers can't figure it out. Assembly and installation was not too hard. It adjusts to fit a wide range of openings. It was designed to be used at the top of stairs (not all gates can be used that way), which is what I needed. The look of the product is very nice.
This is a nice gate, solid wood. We did a lot of engineering to get it in place, but that is more due to our house than the gate. We were disappointed as to the mechanism used for how you open/unlock the gate. We bought it for use at the bottom of the stairs between the banister and the wall. Having the lever on the side of the gate several inches down from the top was not going to work for us. How would I bend over and use my thumb or finger to unlatch the button with a baby in my arms? We took off the plastic hardware and instead installed a traditional picket fence latch. This works for us, at least for now. May have to buy a more sophisticated latch down the road when the baby can reach it!
I like the look of it, however I don't like where the handle is position to open it, unless you just lift up on the gate, squeezing the latch is a little tricky. Also screws sent along with the gate didn't screw into the predrilled holes which made it difficult to assemble.
If you need a gate that you plan on leaving up for a while, this is the one. I did a lot of searching for a "top of the stairs" gate and never found one that matched our needs, until I found this one. I read the other reviews and most of them stated it was hard to install. I like to think I'm a mechanically inclined guy and it would be no problem, but it was actually a tad bit difficult to install. It matched our woodwork pretty closely and it will look good for the two years we'll probably have it up. Overall, a great gate.
The way you are supposed to put together is very flimsy. I had to drill holes and put in screws to hold together.The latch, you might as well not even have one on there, as all you have to do to open is just lift up on gate and it opens. after about one day our dog figured out how to open.
