Easy Step Extra-wide Metal Walk-thru Gate

I purchased two of these gates for the top and bottom of my stairs for a six-week visit from my toddler nephews. When putting the gates up, I was disappointed because the directions said that cups "must" be screwed into the walls when using the gate at the top of the stairs because I didn't want to damage my walls for just six weeks of use. I decided to try to install without screwing in the support cups, and it worked great. I checked the stability of the gates daily, and never once in the six weeks did I need to re-tighten them. They were fairly easy to install, though it's a little awkward. The opening in the gate is narrow, but it was only awkward when stepping through the top gate to go down the stairs, though it wasn't a major issue. The latch was easy enough to do one-handed, and my three-year-old nephew couldn't figure out how to get through. I will mention, though, that my friend's daughter, who is 4.5 years old, easily learned to open the gate when fully latched. If I were using them long-term, I might have splurged for nicer-looking gates, but they did the job well for us. My walls were not damaged when I took them down, though there was a faint smudge on the paint, which I could live with.

I have a 12 month old baby boy and he is walking everywhere. We had this odd length opening going from the living room to the kitchen and we needed something to keep our lil boy from going through. This was perfect. I love this gate.. In fact, my husband and I were thinking about purchasing another one. It fits perfect. It came with three extra extensions so it worked out very well. We did not use one but we will keep it for if we ever move. Also love how it opens. Great so you dont have to step over or take down. Very simple to install.

Gate arrived promptly, was easy to install and much cheaper but the same quality as similar gates I have had.

this is the second gate we ordered. Easy to set up, right out of the box. Fit our hall with extention included. Make sure you measure and pay attention to the demensions listed in the description. That is what got us in trouble with the other gate. This one and demensions were right on. Would buy this gate if I need another one.
