Installation of the Model G35 is quick and easy without the need for tools, holes or hardware. Four non-skid mounting pads eliminate damage to walls or woodwork. A simple, one hand adult release opens the center walk-through door in either direction while the U-shaped frame remains firmly in place.

It stands 29½in high. Space between the bars range from approx. 2in to 2.25in. This gate works with Model G5.5 - 5½in Optional Extension Kit. You will need: One Optional Extension kit for openings 35¾in - 41½in Two Optional Extension kits for openings 41¼in - 47in No more than two extension kits per gate.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a gate that works!, March 11, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Kidco Wood Center Gateway Beechwood (Baby Product)

I had purchased several gates before this one and had to return them all because none of them would stand securely between our wall (which is not perfectly even) and the staircase post. Though this gate ... definitely "cost" more ... than the others...it works!...and there are some things (like my son's safety and our peace of mind) that you just can't attach a dollar figure to. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Features that I most like:
1. The gate is pressure mounted (no need to drill holes in our wall or staircase post).
2. It is secure (even with constant opening and closing, as well as my son's persistent pulling, the gate stays securely mounted).
3. The gate has this additional safety feature that if you forget to lock the gate after opening, it semi-locks, which does not allow the gate door to swing open.
4. easy to mount and use!

5.0 out of 5 stars WONDERFUL product, July 9, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Kidco Wood Center Gateway Beechwood (Baby Product)

We initially bought this gate in January when we were put our house on the market (to sell) and wanted to keep our 3 dogs off the carpeted areas. While somewhat pricey compared to the other gates on the market, we liked that it was both pressure mounted and could be adapted to work on the spindles on stairs (haven't tried that yet). For about $... the extensions are also pricey, but again, the pressure mounting (which doesn't move if installed properly) is great. It's easy to use once you get the hang of it (a couple of tries) but can be a little tricky in poor lighting getting the bracket that keeps it secure in place on the bottom. The fact that is swings either way is nice as well. Once it's locked down, our 17 month old can't get it open, but if it's not secured properly, she is able move the gate without lifting it and the inner workings of the hinge mechanism seem to be wearing down somewhat. Other than those minor issues, it's a great product. She tries to climb, but can't at this point. We're getting ready to purchase another one for our new house so we have one at the top of the stairs and one at the bottom - both for our daughter and the dogs! :)

I checked on the Kido website (kidcoinc.com) and this model fits openings 28" to 36" wide. An optional extension kit exists which measures 5.5" (available on this webiste). The gate plus extensions can be combined for a maximum length of 47".
