BalanceFrom Easy Walk-Thru Safety Gate for Doorways and Stairways with Auto-Close/Hold-Open Features, Fits 29.1-38.5 Inch Openings, Multiple Heights and Colors

As indicated, I ordered 2 gates one had the extensions on it and that's the one I installed first. This one was simpler because it did not have extensions and aligned fairly easily between the door facings. I didn't realize that I had one end up a little too high off the floor. I've finally fixed that by unscrewing things a bit and repositioning the right side.The pictures of the gap/opening of the gate are from the extension gate assembly but it's the same either one.Being a bit "old school" I had a bit of difficulty figuring out how the Threaded Spindle Rods would hold, because they just slipped in and out of the holes for them in the gate. I expected them to be affixed to the gate then screw onto (against) the surface of the walls/door facing. When you rotate the white wheel on "the adjustment bolts along the threading" in order to "shrink the space between the adjustment bolt and rubber foot", that creates the blocking force for the bolts against the Gate Frame. Ingenious new school.I purchased the small "Wall Nanny" blocks from Amazon to go against the wall in order to protect the walls and door facings that were involved. This gate not having extensions and being installed by myself, the Wall Nany blocks were easily contained with working the bolts to help hold them by alternating the adjustments.As mentioned, I installed both gates myself (and was really exhausted when I did that as it was late). This gate will require either reaching down to the floor or getting down on the floor to work with the bottom part of the Gate Frame and bolts. I reached down from a sitting position for this one, which explains the gap I didn't see until after-the-fact.On this gate I did not cut the tie that held the gate to the frame. I didn't see the notice on the one with extensions and cut it pretty much first thing. That just made the one with extensions very unwieldly. However, it is manageable if you do inadvertently cut the tie. Just troublesome here and there because the gate can swing while you're attempting to balance everything and get it installed. With extensions it was also that the extensions were unwieldly at times.Closing the gap was a little confusing for me. There is an embossed line on the part that fits somewhat inside the Lock Slot. If it is not aligned properly, the top part of the gate can be pushed open. I noticed the little piece in the lower part seemed to hang in there but it is tiny. With it aligned properly (the embossed line just inside the slot), you will need to properly squeeze and lift the handle in order to open the gate. The gate swings both directions, will stay open at a 90 degree or more angle to the gate frame. It will also close automatically if not at a 90 degree angle or with a small nudge. Because I have a small dog who could be injured by the gate and a large dog who would just freak out if it moved, I have a bungee cord holding the gate open at night where they access in and out of the room.I am tall and more padded than I wish, so for a while the gates felt very close when I walked through them. I had a balance problem for a few days and had to watch the frame piece that is exposed when the gate is open. If someone has issues with balance or stepping, you might consider that before purchasing. And, of course, I move stuff around fairly often so it either has to be lifted over the gate(s), take the gate(s) down or just leave that kind of stuff where it is. ha ha. I've adjusted to walking through the gates now. I installed them December 28th. And, my balance problems have also resolved so I'm not intimidated by the frame on the floor with the open gate.I knew this gate was white and ordered it. The picture on the extension gate was a light brown and I really wanted white. I was pleased when white showed up. I still do not see an option for color on the ordering of that gate.Okay - I was looking to write a review on the gate with the extensions and the review I just wrote pops up. My review still here, I'll just add to it. You can see in the picture with the dog that I have arrows pointing to the place where the "anchors" are somewhat installed. I have been looking at those for days and when I put a hand on them (ingress/egress) the anchors move. In addition, I had installed the gate with a little bit of a lean towards the direction of the dog. (I had balance issues then, so that might account for the gap and the lean of the two gates.)As I was working on it tonight, I observed the extensions on the floor as I screwed and unscrewed the bolts towards/away from the wall. That made me take note of the top of the extensions. After having fixed the lean, I started over again and flipped the extensions bottom-to-top. Yep, they were upside-down. BUT very much correctly aligned and easier to deal with the anchors at that point. The carpet hid the bottom of the frame from me otherwise when I installed them. So, let's see, what else? Other pictures? I think so. A couple out of order but they don't reposition without deleting.What made this gate unwieldly to install was my inadvertently cutting the tie that held the gate to the frame, the extensions would not stay in until I used the anchors (had I used them properly then I wouldn't have had to redo this after-the-fact). Things just kept flipping and falling. For that, a second pair of hands would have been nice. Other than that, I think that's it. I'm just curious if this will be in the final review or if I'll have to add something later.You can see the Wall Nanny blocks in many of the pictures. I went with the smaller ones because I had baseboards and door facings involved. Being smaller was also less obvious for the ones on the wall. These were installed December 28th and when I redid things this evening (1/8/22) I did not see any reverse markings of "Wall Nanny" on my wall nor impressions of the blocks.The gates are made in China "to USA" I believe the boxes noted. "Wall Nanny" blocks are made in USA.

I originally bought one gate to block off our hall/stairs from our 15 month old and came right back to buy another! The second one we have at his bedroom door as pictured. The bedroom gate has no extenders but we did need one extender for the hall gate.Pros:1) Cost for the quality is unbeatable. We got the small gate for $30 and the larger one for $33 at the time of this review.2) It looks nice! Which matters to me personally.3) It holds pretty steady. I can move it if I put some force into it without the anchors installed. But if you’d like to make it more permanent, you can add use a screw to add in the anchors and I’m sure that would make it nearly immovable. I also saw a product called Wall Nanny that makes the gate more stable and protects the walls without adding a screw.4) It swings either way, according to your need at the time.5) IT HOLDS ITSELF OPEN 🎉 So if baby doesn’t need containing, then we can walk through without worrying about the latch.6) The latch is hard enough that my son can’t open it, but easy enough that an adult can operate it after a one-time explanation.Cons: so far, none. But I will update this review if I come across any. ☺️So far, we are very satisfied with the gates!

We bought three of these as we were struggling with what to do when we wanted to give a little more freedom to our new puppy while we are watching her - these are so well made and my husband said very easy to install also. I love them, and they close behind you if you choose not to open all the way which is great if your hands are full but also easy to just pull back on the handle, lift a little and open. But not too easy that a small child can do. Highly recommend!

We needed a way to keep our toddler safe, but also block off the room from the dog. He figured out how to unlactch and open our last gate, and eventually broke the whole thing. We needed to find a new gate with great reviews from other pet owners. This gate has worked wonders!! It keeps a strong, energetic dog where he is supposed to be and he can't unlock it when we're not home.

This gate is okay. The locking part is difficult for kids to open as well as adults so if it’s a baby gate your looking for then I can tell you my 6 year olds are struggling to get it open so your baby or toddler would also struggle to get it open.We bought this to keep our puppies in the kitchen while we are potty training. It’s serving its purpose but is still difficult to open sometimes. I do like that it swings open both ways though and it was easy to install.

We purchased this gate to keep our dogs from wondering down to the basement unattended. I looked at making a gate, painting it, and screwing it to the wall. I couldn't make a nice looking gate for what this gate costs. It installed quickly and has stayed in place for the past couple of months without any issues. It is a bit tricky to figure out the latch system on it the first couple of times people use it, but after that, it becomes automatic. It is great that it auto closes behind you if you walk through it with your hands full. My mom was so impressed with ours, that she purchased one for her house.

We are using this gate for our pug when we are away or can't watch him for his safety. We are impressed with the quality and ease of installation and use. We purchased separate wall protectors that were a little more to our liking without needing to screw into the wall with the protectors that came with the gate. We would highly recommend this gate.

Bought gates for the house because our recently adopted dog likes to go in the loft and pee in the same place every chance she gets. The gates are sturdy and look alright. Only issue I had was when I was installing them I felt like I was never going to be done tightening the screw. However, eventually got it set in place and haven't had to mess with it since.

EL material es muy bueno, su apariencia neutra combina con casi cualquier decoracion, tiene el tamaño perfecto para bloquear el espacio, tanto a los lados como en altura. La separacion entre barrotes impide el paso incluso de cachorros pequeños o bebes, al mismo tiempo que no pueden atorarse. Si sigues las instrucciones, se instala en minutos sin ninguna dificultad. El unico detalle que haria notar (tambien señalado por otros usuarios), es que se atora contra la pared mediante un tornillo largo. Entre mas alargues el tornillo, mas inestable quedara. Para que quede realmente firme, hay que colocarle un par de piezas de Jenga para que hagan presion. Lei esa solucion en otra reseña, y es cierto. Lo que me llama la atencion es que parece ser un detalle muy comun, al grado que otros fabricantes venden pequeños bloques o cuadros para realizar dicha funcion de mantener el tornillo en su lugar. Siendo asi, a estas alturas esta puerta ya deberia incluirlos en el paquete, o bien ya deberian haber actualizado el diseño para no tener que extender en exceso el tornillo. Fuera de eso, todo perfecto.

Se ajusta muy bien los materiales excelente calidad en general buen producto. Recomendable

Installation was easy enough. Seems sturdy, nice to have a gate you don't have to step over. Unfortunately the paint already chipped, not great with obviously an infant that will try to put anything in their mouth.

We like this gate. It is used for keeping our puppy out of certain areas of the house. Love the extensions and built - in gate. We ordered another one.

Excelente calidad de material así como puntualidad . Muy satisfecho gracias
