There's not much to this gate, but that's why it's so nice - all metal construction (except for 2 plastic bearing sleeves so it opens smoothly and quietly) and a really minimal design that means there's pretty much nothing that can break or wear out.It's a hard mounted design without a bottom bar, which is necessary for stairs, and it only requires 4 screws in total to install!It's also super versatile because of the simple hinge and latch design, allowing it to be installed at an angle in case you can't mount it perfectly perpendicular to the walls. We had a railing that got in the way for most gate designs, but it was no problem for this gate! Check out the attached photo (but ignore the black part near the hinge - I 3d printed a bracket for some elastic to prevent the gate from swinging open too far).The only downside is that because the entire gate swings, it can end up pretty long for a normal width stairwell, getting in the way when left open.

De lo mejor. Lo recomiendo mucho. Compré la extensión por el tamaño de la escalera. No se van a arrepentir. Muy seguro. Para que no lo abran los niños. Muy buena relación calidad-precio. Recomendado.

I spent about 4 hours researching gates for my now 11 month old and I wish I found this gate first. Shoppers should be mindful that not all gates are appropriate for your given situation. We needed something for the top of the stairs so pressure gates could not be used. When you think about it, all gates are used for security and are usually all metal for that reason. I did not like that other brands were made out of materials that could easily break with any given force (i.e., plastic notches and cheap wood). This gate met ALL of our needs. I called our handyman to install it because we absolutely hate putting things together. He didn't call back so I got to work as my baby was dashing toward the stairs every chance he got. I was very impressed with how easy this was to install. My advice would be to check for studs so that you will know if you need to drill or not. I used long anchor screws instead of the included screws for our drywall just to ensure that the system was secure in the wall.I liked that it could swing both ways but that you could stop it from swinging one way- this is what we did for safety so that our baby could not swing it over the stairs. It's light but very sturdy, has a clean design, there are no parts to trip on, it swings fully out of your way, it's easy to install, all metal and despite what others have reported, I find it easy to open and close, even with one hand. It can be a little tricky sometimes because you have to hold two notches down at the same time and then pull up to open the gate. However, my baby is fascinated and I watched him try to play with the notches for 5 minutes trying to figure it out! This is at 11 months! So I'm thankful that the gate opening is not so simplified that my baby can figure it out. I understand why others would be annoyed with the latch though, but it's still easy to use. I chose this one over the auto lock model because the auto lock feature seemed like it was super loud when the gate closed! That noise would annoy us and this manual gate works just perfectly.
