Poor latching system
I have a 40 year old gate just like the latest one I purchased the old gate locking system was just a metal u shaped clamp which locked the position of the gate. This gate has a plastic lock which is impossible to operate and difficult to move. My old gate you just slid it into position adjust the gate width place the space location mechanism in the slot and push the lock bar down. Done. This gate system you fight to slid the plastic lock off the the top bar position the gate hope to keep the gate position where you want it and fight to get the plastic lock in place and hope it holds. If this is a improvement the designer needs to try to operate this gate. Then operate a old one like I have. I'm sending it back. This company needs to go back to the old lock mechanism.

Not as good as the old model
The new mechanism to keep the gate locked is not an upgrade from the old mechanism. The new mechanism slips over the end of the piece that tightens the gate and it locks onto the end of the piece. This lock is tough to unlock for a person with arthritis.

Great quality
Serves my purpose well…keeping my kitty inside at night with patio door open, only after he's been out all day already. ��

Doggy gate
I'm using this baby gate for my 3 small dogs (10lbs each). While the sight of it is enough of a deterrent for my dudes, I can see how it might not be enough for more curious or relentless creatures - and it could topple over. The strength of the construction is lent what they used to be. And the latch takes some getting used to. I'd recommend this gate only to those with compliant kids/pups who need a visual reminder of their boundary.

not renter-friendly in the slightest
we used the sticky tape in hopes it would come off when it needed to, but it took off chunks of our wall paint with it.. and very complicated to set up.

Dangerous sharp edges on plastic mesh beware !!
My 10 month old slid into the gate and the sharp edges on the plastic mesh took the skin right off her nose ! I'm so upset please come up with a new design with a more rounded mesh as babies can get cut !!!!!

Gate Model 202
The item Gate 202 is 23X26 dimensions ... the assembly is close to nothing. The instructions for wall caps mounting is so small its not worth trying to read, even my magnifying glass wasn't helpful; and I asked other to see if they could read it, none could. What is wrong with the marketing dept for this company, they have a product that you could mount a poster board 2-2 ft with all the info needed and it could be made large enough for the average person to read ... my vision is 20/20 so its not that! I'm sure the gate will work properly when I use it, so don't worry about the operation of it, my complaint is with a dumb marketing dept .... PS; I know the cost of card development for retail products, I have managed marketing consumer products depts

Wooden baby gate
Junk junk junk! Not safe at all. Waste of my money. Dangerous for babies. Would I recommend? To start a fire maybe.

Great Gate
Honestly just read the directions before setting it up. It's a lil confusing to set up because si couldn't get the plastic lock off but once I did its nice and sturdy!

Worst baby gate
This baby gate is terrible. Doesn't even fit our doorways ny baby almost fell down our stairs because she busted right through it. What happened to the old style ones that you could lift and tighten?? Those were by far better.

Baby gate
Well I thought this gate worked well until the top wood piece broke and the gate slipped off the post as my son was holding it. Luckily my son was ok after rolling down the stairs. He just had 2 cuts on his head. Definitely needs to be recalled

new baby gate design
Horrible! No other word to describe this new design. Love the old style. Used for pets, the old style was great and easy to use. I will look elsewhere for a gate now! Your product is horrible. I do NOT recommend that anyone purchase this gate! A total waste of money!

Cheap wood splits rendering the gate useless
I used this gate for a couple of months and today while setting it up, the wood on the end around the metal split. It is completely useless now. I am a stay at home mom with no income. I don't make purchases lightly, so something I have out of necessity breaking upsets me. If you absolutely NEED a baby gate, don't get this one, spend the extra money for a metal one.

Effective gate
This gate worked really well for my little one.It's easy to use with positioning and locking in place. There was no issue in using it and the kids never was able to come out from the area separated using the gate. Effective gate

Garbage product
I bought this thinking it would protect my daughter from going in areas of my home she shouldn't be in........ This is a crap product. The screws destroyed my wall & it does NOT come with anchors for the screws so now I have HUGE gashes in my wall & I am throwing throwing product away. As far as I'm concerned I will NEVER use this company product again as it all turns out to not be worth the money you pay. So hey company, when are you sending someone to fix my wall?! YOUR shoddy product destroyed my entryway walls!! I DO NOT RECCOMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE WITH DRYWALL WALLS!!
