Qdos Safety Extending SafeGate Baby Gate - Meets Tougher European Standards - Angle Mount Capable - Templates for Easy Installation - Top of Stairs - Fits openings 26"-41"| Hardware Mount | White

Awesome gate, cannot say enough how fantastic this is. We researched countless baby gates because we live on the second floor and have a giant staircase in our home. This gate is very safe and makes us feel confident that our young children will be safe at the top of the stairs. For us it’s easy to use, but for people who come over they have a hard time opening and closing it properly. I’d rather deal with opening and closing it for others knowing my children are safe at the top of the stairs. We drilled and screwed the gate into our cast iron posts.

I don't have much to compare to as this is our first gate, but after shopping around for awhile we decided to go with this gate (we were looking for an angle mount gate that we could slightly modify to allow a cat to pass through the gate). The gate took about an hour to install (also installed a banister protector), but was pretty straight forward. The gate is solid and we are happy with our purchase. *The gate is a bit stiff to open (latch), but everything seems to 'break-in' and operation of the gate is much more smooth after a week or so of use.

Purchased to control access to our office by our grandson. Definitely works even when he hangs on it to complain about not being inside. Only downside is that he now closes the gate when we forget and manages to get his fingers caught [OUCH!]. Not a defect in the gate - able to install it outside the door frame for full width access - unlike most gates that are installed within the door opening. It is more permanent and any holes in the sheetrock will need to be repaired after it comes down. Small price to pay to keep little man safe.

Very sturdy and easy to install. Toddler and dog proof. Opening the gate latch can be difficult if you have long nails or weak hand grip. Would not recommend for either of these situations.

This was a BEAST to put together. The directions left out steps and the video tutorials didn’t describe it well either. I called customer support and sent pictures and they still didn’t give me the information needed to problem solve the installation. Luckily my handy dad figured it out on his own. Unfortunately, after days of tries and error, after it was put together, I realized it’s a sucky gate and should’ve returned it when I had the chance. The hinges are not locked in, so if you lift to open too high, the other side falls out. The latch is plastic and not sturdy. Ugh, what a waste of money!

This gate is great for permanent installation! We have some funky dimensions with the railing at the top of our stairs, but this gate was able to both span the unusually wide distance and accommodate a different gap spacing at the top and the bottom of the gate! This gate is phenomenally easy to close and is easy enough to open with one hand but the opening mechanism is near impossible for our children. We would definitely buy another one if our hallway dimensions weren't so constrained that opening the gate would cover the hallway doors. Not the fault of the gate design just the fault of our house design 😉

This gate is perfect for what we were needing.it looks great in the house. Steardy , easy to put up, latches nicely stays close and won't open when the dogs jump on it. Great product.

Two dogs and a tiny human on the way, we decided to upgrade from a pressure-mounted gate at the stairs to our basement. This is a major upgrade, feels really solid, metal, would definitely recommend for a location that needs a permanent/longer term fixture. I see a few complaints about it being really hard to build and just...no. It's fine. Takes a little time and you'll want a drill for the wall screws, but the instructions are easy enough, it includes a template so you can drill without even measuring. Really not bad at all. After a few weeks I will say, opening isn't bad but it's not that easy to close one handed, at least with the bi-directional swing install option. Optional stoppers keep it from going the other way if you want, without that you have to kinda find the right spot to drop it into the latch. I like being able to swing it both directions for it's worth the hassle for me. Also I'm super tall and usually just step over it. (You'd have to be about 6'4" for that to be an easy option.) Not a deal breaker, def still recommend it.
