Babelio 26-43" No Bottom Bar Baby Gate for Babies, Elders and Pets, 2-in-1 Hardware Mount Dog Gate for The House, Stairs and Doorways, with Large Walk Thru Door, White

My wife has Alzheimer’s and I have to control the environment. I have a full stairway to second floor we don’t use and needed to block access for fall reasons. I bought the 28” black metal gate and installed over bottom step. It is a very durable well made gate that takes some effort to open and prevents her from accessing the stairs. Instructions were excellent. Does take some basic tools and little bit of of mechanical ability as is screwed in place but is very secure and much better than compression type gates

We bought two of these, one for the kitchen and one for our bedroom. Because our house was built in the late 1800s, the doorways, while charming, are a long way from plumb. But, thankfully, my husband has woodworking skills and tools, and we were able to install them both with a little effort. Obviously, they work better when they're level, so, we made sure of that. I couldn't be more pleased. We have five dogs and keeping them out of the kitchen while I'm cooking and in the bedroom at night (so the heat can be evenly distributed with the door open and our room isn't stuffy at night - also keeps them from roaming the house) has been a BLESSING.Because we were installing into wood, we didn't have any problems that those with drywall have expressed. I would recommend the gate to anyone who needs to control access in or out of certain areas.

My walls are not perfectly plumb…evidenced every time I attempt to put in a gate or door. LOLThis gate works great once installed but it’s very awkward to do by yourself, especially if installing at the bottom of stairs… it takes a bit to learn the best technique to open the gate but after that it works great.

Didn't take long to put together. Design of it is nice. I really love that it swings both ways and it's the whole gate that swings open instead of a third of it, not that I'm a big lady because I'm not. It's just sometimes I have a baby on my hip and a dog on my side all trying to get through at the same time. This gate is perfect for that. It seems very sturdy and I feel confident that if my baby were to get out of my sights(not gonna happen) this gate will keep him from getting hurt. So I say yes! Buy it!

This gate is sturdy and was easy to install. Works really well at the top of stairs. I would recommend it to anyone with toddlers that are taller or stronger than tots their age.

This gate is great, BUT the hardware that comes with it sucks. I am an experienced general contractor and mechanically inclined. If you have to install this in an opening that is not perfectly plumb on both sides it is hard to adjust to create a good latch. It come with platic "shim" washers for this purpose but because of the surface area, if said shim washers are installed in drywall, the drywall will fail and crush in short order. To summarize, if you are not installing this in a wood door opening or directly onto a stud, you will have to toggle bolt a wood backer on your wall and attach the gate to that if you want it to last longer than a few weeks. Also, keep the intructions and template for when it does fail, it is a lot more difficult to install without the template.

Decided to replace my old worn out gate with this one as there is no step over bar. Very happy that instructions were included and there was an online tutorial. The gate latch is a little stiff, but it’s new. It lifts up to open. The gate seems very sturdy, hoping it will last for a few years. It is used for a dog gate before he enters the home to make sure he’s clean.It will slam shut at partial opening but stays open at full opening.All in all I am very happy with it at this time.

I bought two of these, one for the top of the stairs and one for the bottom, and now that they’re in they’re absolutely fantastic. However, installing was no joke. First off, even though they send screw anchors to go into drywall, do not attempt this, it is not strong enough to actually hold the baby gate up. This MUST go into a stud. Secondly, the top wall connector that is physically attached to the gate is incredibly difficult to screw in. The top screw position is awkward to get to, especially since you really need to be using a drill if you’re screwing into a stud. I nearly stripped the screw in the process. Also they sent two different sets of screws with no comment on which should be used.Once it’s installed though it’s perfect. Easy to open and shut, and super secure. Despite the struggle I’m very pleased with this product.

Arrived quickly, easy setup and adjustment. Seems stable and sturdy. Auto close feature is not the greatest but should be closed by supervising adults anyway. When not in use it stays open, good value for the money

Great. Sturdy and easy to open and close.I tried three different brands and non of them worked for me but this one is absolutely perfect.

After our big 'ol Boxer-mix took a tumble down the carpeted stairs, we knew we had to prevent him from free access to the stairs when we are not watching him (he has some arthritis in his legs that doesn't help him with stairs).The first gates we bought were white plastic (garbage). He pushed through the first white plastic gate in a record 3 minutes!! We were able to return those useless gates to Amazon for a full refund.Then, I spotted this gate. Love the useful video that you can watch before making the decision to purchase it. We bought 3. The metal is strong and also attractive. Our house is 125 years old (so, doubt there is a straight line / wall to be had) - and my son was able to get all 3 installed securely. On 2 of them, we had to forego the bottom latch - but no problem - since the top latch is solid and really clinches the trick. So easy to open and close. One is installed outside on the back deck above the stairs. Not sure how it will do outside in our Canadian winters. However, I am sure it will be fine with a little WD40, etc - if any of the outdoor element issues arise.Our pup is 100 lbs of pure love!! These gates stop our boy - plus look great (smart at the same time).

I wouldn’t recommend this gate as it isn’t user friendly. For every advantage there is a disadvantage.If you secure the gate accordingly, once you press the button handle to open the gate it doesn’t open because there’s three latches and two of the three latches don’t release making it impossible to open. Alternatively, there are three clips in the middle of the gate to adjust the width you require for the area. These clips can be loosened so you can finally open the gate, but it is no longer secure as it should be.I believe this product should be revised where once you press on the button handle to open the gate, all 3 latches should unlatch to open the gate. The installation went excellent until I learned there was no easy way around the operation of the gate. I’m just disappointed that I placed holes in my wall to learn the gate wasn’t designed very well and I wouldn’t have known until the end. I also read another review that stated the same issues.I will be returning the gate.

I purchased 3 of these gates to prevent my puppy from going upstairs, downstairs and into my kitchen . It was easy to install in the doorway where I had a wall on either side. It required a bit more planning installing it at the top of staircase because I didn’t want to drill into my decorative wood staircase post . I ended up using double sided foam tape( not included in kit) to try to hold up the locking latch. These were installed in main paths in our house and are used frequently. Everything has held up until now except one bottom latch but the gate is still serving its purpose. This is an issue only because I don’t want to drill into my decorative wood post, it’s not the fault of the product. I still love the gate because it is sturdy , looks good and easy to operate with one hand only. I just wish the kit included the double sided tape and that the back of the latch was wider to offer better sticking/gripping surface for the foam tape.
