4.0 out of 5 stars Nice gate, well constructed, but installation is a real balancing act!, May 20, 2008

I purchased this gate to contain my son's vivacious little Pug in our family room. I originally had the expanding type, but when I injured my knee, it became impossible to step over it. I liked the clean look of this gate and that it was black. Black has a tendency to "disappear" as opposed to beige or white. If you have to have a gate, this one is very chic.

Installation was quite a "balancing act." The installation instructions assume you don't have baseboards. To have the gate work properly - that is, to automatically close and latch, the tension has to be even. The gate comes looking like it's broken, but that's part of the tension issue. Also, the description says that it is tension mounted - no bolting to the walls, but the instructions recommend screwing "end caps" onto your wall and putting the tension bars into them. This would definitely make the gate much more secure, if needed, like for a child, but I didn't want to do that for my temporary purpose. The tension is achieved similar to that of a shower rod - by twisting the ends of the bars.

There are two latches on this gate. One on top and one on the base. I could not adjust my gate to the point of getting the top latch to connect, but the bottom one works fine. I have to give a slight upward pull to "release" it. Despite this small issue, the gate is perfect and works smoothly. I like the fact that it opens both ways and latches automatically when closing.

Finally, my space was just slightly over the 42.5 allowance. I used some small felt pads to adjust the fit, but this could also be the reason I couldn't get enough tension to get the top latch connected. For my "non-secure" application, this isn't a big issue. I wouldn't recommend this "fix" for securing a child, though.

From opening the box to having the gate installed took about 20 minutes. I would buy another one of these if I had to.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this gate!, June 28, 2008

This review is from: Bindaboo Hallway Pet Gate, Swing Closed, Black, Extra-Tall (Misc.)

This is a GREAT dog gate. It is so easy to install - you dont need any tools. The extender just fits right into place - nothing to put together. You dont have to screw anything into the wall, its all pressure mounted. I have two Siberian Huskies, a giant Heinz-57 and two Pomeranians - and a toddler - so finding a gate that would work for all was a little tricky. I mounted this one a little up off of the floor to get some extra height and its working perfectly. Neither the baby or the dogs have gotten past it yet.

Its easy to open with one hand. It also happens to look really nice! I'm very pleased with it.

Measure carefully - there isn't alot of give.

Looks very nice and has a tight fit. Our dog jumps up on it and it doesn't even budge. Very easy to install. Latch is a little hard to work, but probably has to be to keep younger kids from figuring out how to open it.
