Product Description
Finally, there's a way to protect your children from the dual hazards of heat and fire from barbecues, fireplaces and wood-burning stoves as well as dangerous corners and hard, rough surfaces associated with hearths. The Hearth Gate is the solution for layouts that do not have mounting points straight across.The HearthGate fits hearths 6 ft. wide and 2 ft. deep. Large areas may require additional sections (sold separately). Five interlocking sections adjust in 10 degree increments and can be angled or set in a straight line as needed. Included in the 5-piece basic set is a walk through gate section that opens in either direction with a simple one hand adult release. The Hearth Gate is 29 1/2" high and constructed of strong tubular steel with a black non toxic, heat-resistant finish that is easy to maintain and blends with any decor. Measuring is easy - Simply determine the area to protect or isolate. Place objects at 24" intervals along the line of the intended gate configuration. Count the number of 24" segments to determine number of sections needed. Features: - Fits standard size hearths 6 ft. wide and 2 ft. deep
- Includes 5 interlocking sections
- Walk through gate section opens in both directions
- Simple one hand release
- Made of strong tubular steel
- Stands 29 1/2" high

Excellent for Pets July 23, 2008
After flimsy baby gates, I purchased this hearth gate. I have now had it for 3 years and have ordered another I love it so much. The gate has never wore out, still easy to open and close. It slides up and down a bit at the wall so I can clean the floor under it. It is just narrow enough between rails that my small dogs can't get through. It's also sturdy enough to separate rooms, even 10 feet doorways and never waver. Anyone looking for pet gates and room dividers, this is the only way to go.
Baby proof July 19, 2008
We finished our basement and put in a gas fire place. After hearing how my friends kid put his hands on the hot glass of a relatives unprotected fireplace and the following hospital visit, we starting looking to baby proof ours before the cold season. We got one a year ago and it was easy to set up and can be quickly adjusted. I highly recommend it!
Great Gates!!! May 30, 2008

I bought this gate and two extension sections to put around the Entertainment unit in my living room. I have a 10 month old baby and he is really getting into everything. These gates are expensive but well worth it. I also have the 3 sections white gate around an irregular stair landing in my house. Little door is easy to open and close with one hand. Would highly recommend this gate
Great find! April 28, 2008
I recently moved to a Brownstone and needed a gate to go around the spiral staircase in the dining room. This gate was PERFECT for that space, right out of the box. It fits perfectly around the staircase and was the solution to my tricky problem (namely how to attach a get to an iron staircase that had a very narrow opening). And, since the gate is black metal it looks like it came with the apartment. It is a great product. The gate itself opens and closes very well, and it's secure. My 2 year old constantly tries to open it and pulls on it but it's secure. I highly recommend this gate, especially if you have a unique space you are trying to gate off.
 Good overall, but chintzy on operational details. February 6, 2008
We bought and use this product and I agree with the other reviewers above that it is overall well made and attractive. As someone else has commented, the gate is, indeed, easy to operate, even one-handed.
That said, considering the cost of the product it's annoyingly cheap on several important details. It comes with mounting hardware to attach it to the wall (which we need to do), but that hardware doesn't include wall anchors if you are installing (as we are) into drywall (we have a free-standing wood stove set away from a wall), though the instructions clearly state that anchors are needed for installation into drywall. With the product costing over $200, I'd have thought it would be possible to throw in 8 drywall anchors. More annoying still, the product is one bar short of complete -- it is sold with the last rail missing. If it's freestanding, this isn't a big issue (though it does make the gate a little less elegant), but for our setup this makes it impossible to attach the product to the wall (a HUGE danger, as the rail is very light and slides easily, and it is easy for our toddler to move it, i.e., to push it over to where he can reach through the bars and touch the hot stove). I'm sufficiently annoyed by the facts that (a) to buy just a single rail and have it shipped will cost me $[...] plus (b) it is not possible to order such a rail online -- I would have to call Kidco directly -- that I have bought a wooden dowel and plan to paint it and see if I can use it in place of a metal rod. However, having a (makeshift) wooden dowel in an expensive product intended to be used near a stove (ours isn't too near), and having to buy, paint, and cut a wooden dowel to make a $[...]+ product operational is rather annoying.
