5.0 out of 5 stars Get this gate!!!, January 29, 2003

okay, I've been through a lot of gates. We have three kids, 2 dogs, and have finally got a house that almost fits us all. This gate has been terrific. We set it up, it works. Plus its expandable without having to buy extensions like you do from all those other gates, and its extremely well made. Here are some the features you want in a gate. It has to be walk-through, that is it opens so you don't have to step over it or move it out of the way. This opens and swings so when your done you just close it behind you. In our case we also wanted a gate that pressure mounted so we didn't have to put screws in the wall, does that.

Plus it looks great, it doesn't have bars like all the others, or big plastic grid. It actually looks like a piece of furniture. Anyway can't say enough good stuff.

I believe I got one of the first ones. I was attracted to it because it mostly uses a soft mesh to be the barrier not metal or wood which would just be another hard surface in my house. It was easy to set up, expanded into the doorway I needed it to and plus it's a walk-through gate which makes getting through a breeze. The handle to open and close it really works well, especially when I have my hands full : )

Anyway for all the features and the price I thought this was the best gate out there, and with 2 kids, one on the way, and a dog I've seen and used plenty.

2.0 out of 5 stars There seems to be no middle ground with this gate., June 18, 2003

After reading the reviews that were already posted I can think of three reason for the difference in opinion about this gate.

1. The good reviews were written by people that work for the company.
2. The good reviews were written by people that received gates that work as advertised.
3. The good reviews were written by people with the *aforementioned bionic hands.
*in previous reviews

My wife and I bought one gate on Saturday and I tried to put it up when we got home. I noticed two things... I thought the bottom adjustable bar was welded on crooked (I think its actually that way to increase tension when the unit is installed) and that one of the holes that an tension bumper was supposed to go in wasn't there. I also noticed that the button for the release was impossibly difficult to press in, but I assumed that had something to do with the unit being defective. We returned it the next day and got another. The hole was there this time, but the problem with the button being hard to push remained. I would say in ten tries I was able to open the gate with one hand one time and my wife was barely able to open the gate even using two hands. While my wife does have arthritis, that is really no excuse for why she can't open the gate. I picked this one expressly because of the "simple one handed operation" it touted on the box. Last night I returned it and got the Hands-Free Gate from The First Years. Based on its reviews I think I picked a winner this time.
