5.0 out of 5 stars great gate for big doorways, March 17, 2005

By	alicia "alicia" (shirley , ny) - See all my reviews

this gate is great for large doorways.i have an in home day care and i love it. the gates have been up for a year. I have 9 kids in my home 6 days a week and the gates are still up and working.i mounted them in beams on the wall and the kids sometimes hang on the gates so I did have the same problem that other people said about the hinges breaking but i emailed summer infant via their website and i recieved replacement hinges FREE OF CHARGE!!!they had no problem sending them and i even offered to pay for them at first and they sent it to me for free anyway.

3.0 out of 5 stars great gate - LOUSY hardware, March 23, 2005

By	Doctor Gold (Boston) - See all my reviews

I have read alot of the reviews here and the problem with the gate is neither the installation nor the gate itself. The problem with the gate is the hardware. the extra wide, and therefore, extra heavy gate attaches to the wall on each side with metal screws. these screws are held in place by plastic. for the most part this is fine until an accident occurs, which is when you want to gate to work the best. unfortunately, the plastic holding the gate onto the wall broke, not the screws, and not the metal gate itself, but the plastic mounting hardware. the fix to this is simple, get rid of the plastic and use brass or stainless steel. at the very least, make the replacement parts available on-line through the company's web site. If I am paying 60, 70 or more dollars for a gate, I would pay an extra five for better hardware. fortunately, when the gate came down, with my wife, she suffered a bruised ego and some black and blue marks, but it could have been much more serious.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT PURCHASE THIS ITEM ! ! !, October 9, 2004

By	Thomas Moore (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews

The engineer/designer for this product should be given a demotion at their next performance review. What a great way to ensure your company gets a reputation for putting out crappy products. After I installed the gate, I was counting the days the plastic components would start breaking. Sure enough, it took 11 days of light use and the plastic hinge cracked and flew in all directions. Employing plastic hinges for heavy metal gate runs contrary to most manufacturers' intuition, but not this one. Until they start using better materials, my strict recommendation on this product would be to take a pass. If this on-line rating system allowed a score less than "1", I would give it.
