The Sumer Infant Custom-Fit gate lets you tackle the dilemma of cordoning off unusual openings and areas in your house. Being as much as 12 feet wide or as little as six feet, the Custom-Fit gives you the freedom of blocking staircases or for use in extended openings--think living room. The gate comes with hardware to mount to the walls and a template; all you need is a screwdriver. The locking door swings both directions for easy passage without removing the entire gate-- no more hurdling to save time. The fabric is soft and durable, and the panes are pretty much transparent, so the little ones won't miss any of the action when behind the gate. No bars or metal and wood also reduce the likelihood of injury. --Scott Teal

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice WIDE gate, December 17, 2005

By 

Michael (Garrett Park, MD United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Summer Infant Sure And Secure Custom Fit Gate (Baby Product)

This is a nicely designed gate, particularly for wide openings (minimum width is 67"--although the box says 70"). Note that for openings up to 89" you just use the gate panel and one of the side panels. Openings wider than 89" use all three panels. If you're using it for a pet, the panels are made of a mesh fabric that looks like a cat could make quick work of it wanted to get to the other side.

You do need some "handyman" skills to install this gate, equivalent to hanging a shelf. I recommend not using the drilling template, and just position the gate on the wall and mark through the screw holes for drilling. You'll almost certainly need appropriate size screws, since the included screws will only work if you're screwing into woodwork directly.

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect gate, March 4, 2006

By 

Mike M. (California) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Summer Infant Sure And Secure Custom Fit Gate (Baby Product)

if you have a wide opening you want to gate off, this gate will do the trick. It uses a fabric mesh instead of vertical bars, which works well to keep our infant on one side. There's less for him to grab onto and pull himself up with as well.

It was easy to adjust to the size I needed and easy to install. Just screw a few brackets in place and snap the gate in place. The locking gate swings open both ways. The gate also has a bracket at the bottom that connects to the bar to keep it from being pushed out at the bottom.

Update: This fence is still nice, but 10 months later my (then 18 month old) son figured out how to break out of it. The mesh on the gate wraps around the metal frame and attaches with Velcro. He figured out he could essentially pull the top apart and move the mesh down and get out. Sneaky little guy! Not sure if the newer gates are the same.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Gate!!!!, January 21, 2006

By 

HBMommy "HBMommy" (Orange County, CA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Summer Infant Sure And Secure Custom Fit Gate (Baby Product)

This gate ROCKS! It is totally adjustable to fit any weird sized opening (such as we have) and my daughter does not even attempt to barrel through it as she does with our superyard. The swinging gate works awesome, though it takes some using to get loosened up and easy to close. The only caveat is the screws. I agree with the last review, ditch the screws that come with it and get some that are right for your wall. The ones they sent are too short and pulled right out of our studs. And the plastic wall anchors they send are useless!!!
