Step down from previous model July 12, 2008

We used the previous model of this gate for several years until the release handle broke off. We were using it on a door to the outside to keep our Rottweilers out of the house. Now we need one to keep our toddler inside the house. I was very happy with the previous model, as it fit well in the door frame and the big, round pressure pads held the gate firmly in place. Also, the handle slid up and down easily and it was easy to get the gate in place, even with one hand.
The newer model requires two hands to put in place, and the handle is very hard to push down. Unless you hold the gate in place, one pressure pad will invariably get left out. Finally, even though the gate is adjusted for maximum pressure, it's still easy for a dog or a child to push the thing over completely. So it does not breed confidence. I'd really prefer having the old style, but this will have to do for now.
 Not Safe for the Long Haul! July 2, 2008

I bought two of these gates, as well as 2 more expensive metal gates that open and close for our hallways. These gates were purchased to keep our twins off the stairs going upstairs and downstairs and wouldn't be used very frequently, probably less than once every 2 weeks. So I thought these would be perfect. They were at first. They stayed in place and were secure. Then as we started taking them down every now and then, like I said, less than once every 2 weeks, they became less and less reliable and seemed to "strip" out and wouldn't hold securely. If you are going to put these in a doorway that won't be used much, then these might be ok. But for blocking stairways, which could be very harmful for kids, then I would not recommend this gate by Safety 1st. I would go with a more secure metal gate, as I am now shopping for!
I LOVE my other two metal gates with the one-hand open/close gates, both pressure mounted. They are perfect for high-traffic areas. They have been in place about a year now and are used many, many times a day. One of these is the Evenflo Simple Step in taupe color and the other is by Dreambaby.
Don't buy unless you have 3 hands June 25, 2008
This gate is awkward to open with two hands and nearly impossible to open with one. That leaves the third hand for the baby.
The main problem is the design of the lock. Instead of a latch, which most hardware mounted gates use, there are 2 rods with rubber pads on the ends that push against the door stops, which are mounted to the wall. The rods are moved in and out of the door by pulling on the large white handle at the top of the door. When the handle is down, the rods are pressed against the door stop, and when the handle is up, the rods pull back into the door. Unfortunately, the rods don't fully disengage from the door stops and there is still friction as the door opens. The handle itself has quite a bit of friction as one lifts it. The door itself is made of flexible plastic, so the entire door twists as one attempts to lift up on the handle while overcoming the lateral friction of the rod/door stop assembly. It eventually opens, but not without an incredible amount of two-handed difficulty. I have used many doors, and this has the worst design. I recommend a latch mechanism instead.
Fine simple pressure gate May 21, 2008
I actually think this is a pretty good gate, but my husband hates it, so I averaged it out. It is excellent if all you are looking for is a sturdy, inexpensive pressure gate. It is a hassle to move and replace, so I just swing my legs over it, but my husband refuses to do this and moves it every time, following it up with a good twenty seconds of strongly-worded complaints. If you mount it to the wall, you supposedly can swing it like a door, but that wouldn't work well in this doorway so we haven't tried it. If we move, we will be getting the kind that has an inner swing gate for the kitchen and use this in a less used doorway.
 Great gate, best price!!! March 21, 2008
There is nothing to complain about this gate. It is inexpensive, yet well made and easy to use. I use at a door way to divide the laundry room (where I keep cat food and litter box) and dining room. It works great, easy to use. My cat doesn't mind it either.
