Review on 🚪 Extra Wide and Extra Tall Safety Gate, 29.5 - 53 Inch Width and 38" Height, for Doorways and Stairways, with Auto-Close and Hold-Open Feature, in Grey Shade - Summer Infant by Jessica Rogers

Initial review September 28, 2021 We had good gates to keep our grandkids out of our home. Our smart and persistent 2 year old grandson was soon able to undo the bolt on this gate. Then he also found the locking tab, so it was time to replace the gate. This gate does two things. First, the gate must be pulled vertically to open it. That alone would have stopped our grandson from opening. Second, these gates are high, which makes climbing even more difficult. We learned about this gate from the parents of grandchildren who already have two such gates. Two small issues: 1) The door/wall opening adjustment didn't fit. There is a plinth on either side of our opening. I had to lift the entire gate over the base to make it fit. This means the gate is about 3 inches off the ground. When the gate is open and we go back and forth through this area, we must pay attention to the horizontal bar so that we do not trip over it. 2) Even if we could put the gate flat on the ground, the ground is still an obstacle. I doubt a gate could be designed without such a bar, but perhaps it could be a flat bar rather than an inch high. In general, these gates are well constructed with good materials. It stays open easily when the kids are away and closes easily when they are around. This is a solid setup. I appreciate that I didn't have to drill any holes to install it. I recommend this gate.
