does the gate work well
1513008
That's a hard question to answer. We didn't use the gate much. We usually just stepped over the playard or reached over it, because it was sometimes a small hassle to open and close when we are juggling our twins. I don't think that's the fault of the manufacturer. To stay closed and locked in position, it had to be that way. We tested several gates, and they were all about the same in functionality.

It's much easier than others I've tried. You push 2 buttons to open. But the baby definitely cannot open it. Sometimes it takes me a few seconds to close because you have to line up the bottom just right, but it really is no longer than a few seconds.

Yes it does. I ordered it for my son so he could blocked off his buck stove. This keeps the baby away from any harm.

My daughter has two year old twins and I bought 5 sets of these to set up a play yard they can run in. The gates are easy to use and the structure is just as strong as the rest of the fencing if closed properly. They are easy to open and close.

Yes I still like the gate, bought it for,a,boxer puppy, however a chihuahua puppy may be able to fit through the gap where it mounts to the wall.

No. You need to lift up the bar and take gate aside to walk through and then set it up again. It is a draw back, but I still like it because it is simple and easy and reasonably priced. I do, however, admit that I use this gate on openings that I don't go in and out of very often.

I was referring to the locking pieces that move up and down. If the gate should be dropped closed the plastic locking pieces can break. We also had problems with the rails that the door moves along seperating from the frame. It's a good idea and many people have been pleased with it. We were more displeased with the poor customer service(they sent the wrong replacement parts and would not correct the mistake then stopped responding altogether)

NO, it should not. But, I have found that if the two side panels, that are mounted to the walls, are not perfectly square, then the gate door will not fully latch. You may want to try adjusting the frame, but loosening, or tightening, the mounts. I hope this helps!

That would seem to be ok... the gate itself is not that heavy and the design is really good. I wouldn't see any problems doing it that way.

We have this gate and we love it-it was a little difficult at first to open but it is good now. My husband said to make sure that the bottom bar is lined up w/the bottom of the gate before trying to close. Sorry we are not much help

The gate is pretty easy to use and I suspect it will work fine in a doorway that is not exactly, completely square...depending, of course, on how un-square the door in question really is.

It works great on our driveway - we have had it for about 10 months now. We have a double wooden gate which is quite heavy. We are very pleased with it. Hope this helps.

kids are smart! The way the gate functions to open is by pulling the gate upwards(this happens via the hinge mechanism) and then opening by swinging in either direction(inward or outward). There is a "latch" that also works well to keep shut provided it is set up properly between the door frame

I don't have access to the gate right now to measure it but it does swing both ways. We've had it for 6 months and it seems to be holding up well to the weather. It takes a little getting used to the latch but I see that as a good thing so that my 4 year old doesn't leave the deck. It's a good gate.

Yes, depending on the weight of the gate and the proper sizing and number of hinges.

I'm not sure. However, my sense is that there can be a good deal of clearance and the gate will still secure (about 1 inch). On my gate the clearance is small, about 1/16th of an inch and the gate works cleanly.

Its a small maneuver of lifting gate up about an inch up and then out ...shouldn't be an issue!

Sometimes the gate opener doesn't work correctly. And if you want to get out you have to take the cylinders loose from the gate and unlock it manually. Also sometimes it freezes.

On the top of the gate you need to pull the latch back and use your other hand to lift the gate up and over. The fog will not be able to open this one. I really like the gate. It's sturdy, once assembled I haven't had to to a thing. It's up and I use the gate to go in and out of the room. I found the directions a little tricky.

we can have heavy winds where I live. I have had no problems with wind opening my gate. It works great after about 8 months. The only thing I need to do is make sure everything is tightened down (nuts and bolts) on a regular basis as it shares in the instructions.
