Durable Steel and Wood Gate is Easy to Close
For the ultimate in strength, the gate is designed with a strong U-shaped frame made from durable steel. The dark silver frame pairs with natural dark wood for an ideal look for your stylish home. The double-locking handle keeps your child safe and secure while allowing adults to easily open the gate. Its handy door swings shut with a firm push so it’s also easy to close securely.
Swings Open in Both Directions for Convenience
For convenience, the gate swings open in both directions. You can also choose to use an optional third lock at the base of the gate to control the direction that the gate opens. It allows you to set the door to open in either direction or locks both ways to prevent it from opening at all. This feature adds another safety measure for places like the top of the stairs.
Adjustable Fit for Use Anywhere in Your Home
At 29-1/2 inches in height, the dark wood gate is ideal for keeping children or small pets safe. With the use of the three included 2-3/4-inch extensions, the gate accommodates openings from 29-1/2 to 40-1/2 inches wide for a custom fit virtually anywhere in your house. It can also extend up to 54 inches wide with the addition of 5-1/2-inch and 11-inch extensions, which are available separately. With the use of mounted wall cups for added stability, the gate can be used at the top of a staircase, in a door jam, or in a hallway.
A must-have for parents with busy lifestyles, the door is 21-1/2 inches wide for an extra-wide walkthrough space.
Pressure-Mount System for Easy Installation
The dark wood and steel gate installs with a pressure-mount system to walls for a tight, secure fit. This design reduces damage to walls yet provides a firm, stable seal and makes it easy to install or remove the gate. Both the steel and dark wood wipe down with a damp cloth, so cleanup is fast.

It’s a Sturdy Gate I’m completely satisfied with this gate. It’s easy to set up and very effective.Now, it comes entirely assembled, but it comes packed in with extensions to help it fit doors up to 41 inches wide. It’ll fit a standard size door right out of the box.When you pull it out of the box, it’ll seem like the door is crooked, but the instructions tell you that the door will fix itself when you mount it correctly. Look at the sides of the gate in the picture and you’ll see that it has bolts on all four sides. It’s not actually bolted to the wall, though. Those four bolts are clamping the gate to the wall, and as you tighten the bolts, that’ll cause the crooked gate to correct itself.As for the lock on the gate, the trick is you hate to squeeze both sides of the locking mechanism and push down. This is good, because a toddler isn’t going to be able to make the connection that you have to do both. But, on the negative side, you’re not going to be able to slam this gate shut, you have to put the lock in place every time. It’ll only take a few seconds, though.Oh, and the gate swings both ways.So, I highly recommend it. It looks great. It’s going to last a long time. And it’s a small price to pay for piece of mind.
Great if you don’t have baseboards While I don’t have any munchkins, I do have a couple Saint Bernards, and short of agricultural grade equipment, this gate has proven to be the ultimate solution. The gate looks nice enough, has a wide opening (wide enough for two saints to try to go through, but not wide enough for them to succeed), and it can be easily widened to fit most openings. Installation is straight forward: extensions attach via plastic bits with metal rods, grippy bolts go into the gate, and you expand the gate to fit the opening. When you first start, the gate will be quite open up top, and it will tighten up after a while. You will need the included wrench (or one of your own), and you may encounter an issue: the bottom bolts are way too low! As you can see in the pictures, they’re at the bottom–the land of the baseboards! Worse yet, it’s so low that quarter round molding, which someone saw fit to include in my home, calls home. Tighten the gate, and the whole gate rises. This isn’t ideal, as the bottom bar can cause tripping if too high. A better solution can be found on other gates that simply place the bolts higher up. All is not lost, as the gate closes nicely, looks handsome, and the included hardware allows for semi permanent mounting (although the previously mentioned rising of the gate has let to the top bolts bending).In the end, it’s a good gate, but it can be a great gate (and it is if you don’t have baseboards) with a simple design change.
