 This gate will drive you batty! August 21, 2008
This gate is the worst- it cannot be opened and shut with one hand (as it claims) and the locking mechanisms is so difficult that it works about 50% of the time and that is after i had practiced! it brought my mother-in-law to tears while babysitting. stay away!
 A little difficult to operate, but works well. August 18, 2008
We have this gate mounted on a 48 inch opening into a kiddie room and that width makes it harder to operate. There are many curse words muttered under the breath while trying to latch the thing sometimes.
The design is such that you have to keep one hand on the base while pushing a sliding button and pressing it down. So you have one hand 4 feet to one side while trying to stretch the mesh across the door and latching it on the other side one-handed.
Once latched, it works well.
As others have mentioned, it is NOISY also - making a loud ratcheting sounds when you open or close the gate.
It works sort of like a window shade laid sideways.
Overall, it is a good product with a few flaws and hassles.
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.
