My review is based on owning this product, and using it daily for about the last 6 weeks. I will say the overall styling and looks of the gate are great. However, I purchased two of these gates to section off our living room, as our twin boys are now on the move. On the first gate that I setup, I noticed the wooden door was a bit warped. It still opened, closed, and functioned as designed however. The next gate I set up was so warped, that if the handle was locked, the locking device on the bottom was not even close to lining up. I exchanged this gate with Amazon for a new one. The new gate that arrived was warped even worse, as there is a huge curve from top to bottom of the door. The locking mechanism by the handle and at the bottom of the gate did line up however, so it is functional. Warped doors were a bit disappointing, however I could live with that.Fast forward a few weeks after ownership, and the gates are a complete night mare to use. The problem is a design flaw. Opposite to the side of the handle, there is a pin that the door rotates/hinges on. Essentially, a bolt pivots inside the metal frame as you open and close the gate. The problem is when using the gate, you also have to lift the gate approximately 1 inch so that the bottom catch clears the metal frame, the door then drops down once centered over the metal frame, locking the bottom portion in place. When lifting from the handle, you apply sideways pressure to this pivoting bolt. The metal frame digs into the bolt, over time getting worse. A simple little collar around the bolt to avoid the metal digging in would have fixed the issue. My gates now are nearly impossible to lift and open unless you lift from the middle point of the gate, (relieving any pressure on the bolt/hinge). This is pointless as a when I'm using the gate, I often have a child in one arm, and try to open/close the gate with my free hand. If you always have two hands available to open/close the gate, then its a non factor.Overall this a nice product in concept and style, however function was poorly designed, or the manufacture wanted to save a few pennies.

I've dealt with a LOT of baby/pet gates over the past few years, working with a pet rescue and as a pet foster family. Superficially, this one resembles most - it's got a one-hand-operation latch, it uses pressure pads at top of bottom of each end, it has some extra removable sections to adjust to different sized openings.The devil is in the details, and this gate gets a lot of details right. First the expansion sections - they fit TIGHTLY into one another and to the gate, the whole unit is a solid structurally and visually cohesive construction.Second the gate itself - it's quite wide compared to most, very easy to walk through.Third the finish - a very nice dark finish metal on the fence portion, with a slightly lighter wooden gate.I'm using this gate as a barrier to keep my dogs from rushing the front door when we have visitors. It's part of our living room, so having it look - if not exactly attractive, at least unobtrusive - is very important. The opening I have is about 55" so I used all but the smallest 4" expansion, and it's quite sturdy.If I could have one thing different, I'd like an auto-close option but typically that feature is hard to come by on a dual-swing gate, so overall I'd rather have the dual-swing and no auto-close. Very happy with the product and the price. Read more

I’ve had this gate for around 4-5 months now. It was annoying to setup but looked nice. My 18lbs dog was left alone for 20 minutes and he nearly chewed through two of the columns. My dog never chews anything and he was able to do that much damage in a short time. If your dog has issues with chewing, absolutely do not buy this gate. A dog bigger than him could chew through it in one bite, the wood is super flimsy and just barely above paper quality. I’m trying to figure out if I’m mad at my dog or at how cheap the wood was for him to be able to do that much damage. Read more

Our baby seems to be the Houdini of babies. When we put her on our bed, no matter how many barricades of pillows and blankets I put in her way, she seems to manage to get by them in order to practice her platform diving skills. Her first day in her playpen she seems to have figured out how the door works perfectly, and from time to time when I'm in there with her she'll leave it and then lock me in :)Lately, she's been fascinated with the kitchen. When her mom and I are in there cooking, she seems to love crawling in there. Our kitchen, like most kitchens, is filled with all kinds of dangerous things--scalding pots and pans, knives, fresh trash, and giant heavy containers of stuff. In other words, baby's favorite "toys". We tried barricading her with boxes, heavy water bottles, and anything else we could think of. She'd be on the one end crying, there'd be a few seconds of silence, and then she'd be on the other side smiling.A friend gave us an old baby gate to use, but our kitchen is an open doorway that measures 43 inches, much larger than that gate could handle. Also, we're looking to sell our apartment and don't want to be drilling any holes.I turned to Amazon to look for wide gates that didn't require drilling holes and came across this one and a few cheaper-looking ones.We first had our misgivings. In the pictures, the gate looks pretty strange. The colors don't seem to match (dark grey and wood?) and for some reason both my wife and I thought the wood door was going to be really thick. But we threw caution to the wind and ordered it anyway.The shipment came in one box that was really thin and really, really big lengthwise and widthwise. Inside slipped out the big gate (with wooden door attached already), three metal expanders joined together, and four giant screws with round cap on the end, which I'll explain below. At first glance the gate also appears to be broken--the door does not appear to fit into the gate properly. I assume there were a lot of complaints about this, so Summer Infant provided a notice in big letters tied to the door that assures you that this is normal and that it will all look perfect once you install it.The first thing I noticed is that the gate looks a lot different in person. I had imagined a thick, unwieldy gate, but the actual width of the gate looks quite elegant at about half an inch thick. The colors were also surprisingly attractive--the grey has a brushed slate feel, and the wood door is a lovely oak stain that coordinates well with our hardwood floors.As often is the case the instructions weren't the clearest in the world, so I had to figure out assembly on my own. The "metal expanders" help you elongate the gate to be appropriate for your doorway...it accommodates anything from 36 inches to 60 inches. The manual will tell you which of the three "expanders" to use (the other two you can save if you ever want to install your gate in another opening in the future).I had to use the medium expander, so I slipped it into the side of the main gate, no problem. Note that while the extenders are specific lengths (10", 7" and 4") they can accommodate any size opening from 36 inches to 60 inches without a problem, down the the millimeter.The next step is to place the four large bolts into four holes at each corner of the gate so that the "cap" (which are actually two pieces, a knob to tighten the tension, plus the actual pad that holds the gate to the wall) is facing outward. At first I was confused because the large bolts just slipped into the hole loosely, but I'll explain that below :)Your next step is to position the gate so that it's center to your doorway. They have a cheap metal wrench that doubles as a cheap metal ruler for you to measure. And then this is where the magic happens. You don't screw the bolts into the gate, but rather by turning the tension knob you literally expand the distance between the gate and the pad at the wall, using pressure to "squeeze" the gate, the bolt, and the wall together. (P = F/A for you physics types). You don't want your pressure to be so soft that the gate doesn't stand up, and you don't want it to be too hard that you end up gashing a hole in your wall. But find that happy medium, and you have a gate that'll withstand baby's best efforts to knock it over, and you never had to drill a hole in the wall.The installation took me about 10 minutes. The result? Baby did her usual crawling into the kitchen and then realized the gate was there. She tried all her tricks and the gate stood strong. After a few minutes she sat back and started crying. My wife couldn't help but let out an evil laugh--the culmination of weeks of her trying rescue baby from sure disaster in the kitchen over and over again. We walked over to her and gave her a big hug, and set out a few brand new toys on the outside of the gate. That, plus mom's reassuring voice to her every few minutes, seems to have satisfied baby...for now.Definitely recommend this one. Read more
