We purchased this gate for an odd sized opening, because it is expandable. It attaches to both sides of the opening so you open it on either side. We have the gate in a very high traffic opening, and it is not only easy to open and close, but has stood up to the bigger kids going in out. In the evening when the kids go to sleep, we simply unlatch both sides and set it off to the side. I love it so much, I'm buying 2 more to replace those pitiful pressure mounted gates we have. Works well to keep the dog contained from the baby area also. Quality, durable product. I definitely recommend it. Target is the only place I have found this gate.

I purchased this gate for a the opening into my kitchen. It is an odd caddy corner shaped opening. The gate was easy to install and works great. We purchased it to keep my 8 month old son from crawling into the kitchen to eat the dog's food! He is almost 2 now and we still use it to keep him out of the kitchen. He has never pinched a finger or any other part of his body. My 5 year old is able to open and shut it with ease. It is very durable and his withstood my son shaking it back an forth. I guess you could say it is kid tested and mother approved.

First the gate is Assembled in the USA. The design of the gate is rather simple which makes it very versatile. The gate is symmetrical and once the four eye bolts (or eye screws) are installed, either side of the gate can be detached for swinging in both directions. The latches for the top eye bolts (it just sets on the bottom eye bolts) are a little finicky. This is both good (harder for toddlers to open the gate) and bad (if you have to race to answer the phone). The top rail is plastic and telescopes when the gate is expanded. The directions say to screw the eye bolts into the wall at 6" & 24" above the floor, I would recommend adding 1/2" to 1" to that so that it may clear an uneven floor or carpet. The bolts may need those self drilling plastic anchors if the gate is being mounted to drywall with no stud behind it. In general, it feels like a quality made gate and the price with free shipping is right.

Also, If the gate is not left swinging free (fixed in place or removed and put away), it shouldn't be a danger to little ones as the diamond openings are actually rather small and fixed when the gate is latched.

You can't beat the price compared to other gates. I use it to block of a 60" opening and it's wide enough to block even a couple more inches. You do have to drill 4 holes in your wall but the gate is sturdy and if you pay attention to your child when you are opening and closing it it's perfectly safe. good stuff.

Purchased this gate to use to keep my son from climbing steps. It is fairly strong, easily adaptable, but a flawed design. Having to hook 2 latches is difficult, contrary to the pictures on the box. You could never operate the latches with one hand and a baby on your hip. The springs in the stick, sometimes won't latch, sometimes won't let go. Worst of all, my wife cut a large gash in her hand on the "safe" plastic section. Good idea, POOR hardware. Needs serious work to make this functional. Going to build yet another baby gate myself due to lack of cost effective, SAFE options on the market.

i have a walkway from the living room to the dining room that most expandable wooden gates wont fit because they arent wide enough. This one expands perfectly to fit! i also wanted something that couldnt just get pushed or tipped over so this being able to ger secured into wall was exactly what i needed. no complaints, easy to set up.

This gate does exactly what I expected. It was easy to install, easy to use.

I bought this gate to keep my dog and cat out of the living room. I have a 46" opening between the living room and the kitchen so I was having trouble finding something wide enough. The gate is also in a prominent spot in my house so I needed something that looks decent. This gate is easy to install, sturdy, expands to widths bigger than most gates. It's wall mounted and when open can swing back so you can get it out of the way. It looks clean (some of the gates out there are hideous!) and it presents a strong barricade that my animals don't challenge. All in all, it was money well spent.

This is a great, manuverable, lighweight baby gate. It is extra long for those longer than normal enterances. Affordable as well. I really like how easy it is to move back and forth, use it or leave it open....it's great!

This is the one and only gate i could find that fit my 24 inch wide doorway. it also works well in another room in my house that has a 48 inch opening. Keeps my crawling 10 month old girl out of harms way!
