Need two hands to open/close February 1, 2008 Well designed product that blends well with the interior. Locks both in the open and retracted position (a must). However, it's virtually impossible to open or close the gate when you have a baby in your hands. Because of this, this gate is not suitable for high-traffic areas.
Good choice if swing gate not an option January 18, 2008 We got this gate for the top of the stairs since a swing gate would have blocked access to our son's room. It was difficult to install even with the wall installation kit and my husband had to go out and buy additional screws that were longer. Now that it is installed, it works fine, but is not particularly easy to use, especially with one hand. It is noisy when it retracts unless you hold the unlock button down, so that can be annoying. It's also hard to latch- I always miss the bottom attachment and then I have to unlock and start over. But, it keep our son from getting near the stairs and we were able to install it at a slight angle which you can't do with most other gates. So it was probably the best option for our house although I think it is kind of pricey for what you get. It is nice that it is not in the way when it's open and that even the part that is visible pretty much blends into the wall.
Very nice product December 26, 2007 Very nice product. Easy to install and works great. Much better than the traditional wooden gates. THis one disappears into one side and its very sturdy. My 15 month old walked up to it and touched it out of curiousity, but has never even walked to it again....like its another wall.
Pretty Good August 15, 2007 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This gate seems sturdy enough and is what I was looking for. The installation was difficult because you have to have the gate expanded to bolt it to the wall, but you can't keep the gate expanded without someone else holding it. It's also not very practical to say that this gate can be opened or closed one handed. The locking/unlocking mechanism works, but is more complicated than most other child gates and more complicated than it needs to be. Retracting screen is also very loud and to make it close quietly, you HAVE to use two hands. PS: If you need to attach it to a hollow wall or to a banister, you can buy cheaper modification kits than what is recommended for this gate. The Kidco Gate Installation Kit works great and is cheaper.
Not Practical March 16, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
There is no way you will ever get this gate open with a baby in your arms. It is aesthetically well designed and flows well in the house since it rolls up nicely. However, it is not practical for a high/moderate traffic area of the house. We have it covering a large opening from the kitchen and constantly end up with either the top or the bottom hook attached but rarely both.
The problem with the install is not complexity but rather precision. I finally got the install right after 3 holes in the wall. It is tricky since you really have to accurately line up the hooks in order to get good tension on both the top and bottom. If you don't have a level and measuring tape you will end up with a few holes in the wall/door.
