Product Description

The Gateway series uses the pressure mount system rated 1 by a leading independent consumer organization. This premier gate installs quickly without tools or hardware, leaving no holes to damage walls or woodwork.

Constructed of strong tubular steel, the U-shaped frame remains firmly installed while the center walk-through door opens in either direction. At 42in tall it is great for the safety of children and confinement of large dogs while also helping owners prevent bad habits like jumping and climbing. Basic gate fits openings 29 1/2in to 37 1/2in wide.

Optional extension kits G16-5 or G16-12.5. Space between the bars range from approx. 2in to 2.25in.

I may be one of the few reviewers who didn't buy this for pets. I purchased this because my 2.5 year old twins are like stealthy ninjas and have even bested 36" gates - and they're just over 36" inches tall! So far this gate has kept them safely in their bedroom at night. The handle is too complicated and requires too much pressure for them to open and the height is perfect to keep them safe. As for the pressure required to open the handle, it does require quite a bit, so it's not recommended for folks with arthritis. The gate does not latch automatically upon closing, but the gate does close short of the latch if you just walk through. It also STAYS OPEN if you open it all the way - very nice if you're frequently in and out of the room (we only close the gate at night.) Installation took about ten minutes and it doesn't require any holes in the wall nor any tools aside from the included little wrench.

PROS:
Latch isn't easily figured out by even the craftiest toddlers
Easy installation
Stays installed - my twins haven't been able to knock it over they way they can most pressure installed gates
Easy to walk-through and can stay open

CONS:
Latch button and lift could be difficult for people with arthritis

I'm very happy with this gate!

5.0 out of 5 stars So much better than the typical tension gate!, June 2, 2008

I needed a tall gate to keep my high-jumping, rescue dog confined to the kitchen during his housebreaking. This gate, although a bit pricey, fits the bill perfectly! It was very easy to install and simple to use. It does not require any permanent attachment to walls or woodwork, and once installed, the frame stays in place. No more having to constantly undo and redo the tension bar to get in or out of a room, or risking your life trying to step over it! If you need something tall, this is definitely the way to go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Love this gate!, April 16, 2009

I purchased this gate because I am working on introducing my new cat to the other two in the household, and wanted them to be able to see each other without being able to harm one another or jump over the gate. They had already proven they could jump over the regular 3' high baby gates and it was a nuisance for my husband and myself to have to be stepping over this kind of gate anyway. The Kidco gate was super-easy to mount-I had it up in less than 10 minutes without needing tools nor having to screw it into the walls. It is pressure-mounted, which was a highly desirable feature, since our apartment is a rental. We love that the door swings both ways. I've had it for a few weeks now, and so far, none of the kitties have even thought about trying to jump over it.
