Review on 🚧 Farmhouse Collection - Stairway Walk-Thru Baby Gate by Nicole Walker

This baby gate is effective in the simplest sense of the word because when properly installed and closed, it keeps your child out; However, with other options, I would not recommend this gate to anyone. Installation: Installation is relatively easy. This will require you to drill some holes in the walls or door frame, but the advantage of screw gates over stretch gates is that when open you get practically the full width of the door or wall. With tension gates you get a much narrower passage and a crossbar on the ground. This gate has a decent paper guide to help you put the screws in the right place. Work: There they go down. The guard itself has a quick release feature so you can remove the gate simply by lifting it off the mounting bracket each time you unlock it. That sounds good in theory, but the whole point of using an installed gate instead of a stretch gate is that you save almost the entire width of your doorway or hallway, so you don't have to remove it very often. Once you take the gate off, it's hard to go back. Hinges on gates with two mounting brackets, and they don't like to stand up on their own. Usually you need two hands. There is nothing to worry about except that the gate will slide slightly out of the bracket when opening and closing. There's no reason they couldn't use a pin or lever to secure the mounting bracket. The gate is also very difficult to close. If you are used to stretching gates, you can easily open and close them, and then think again. To close this gate you must maneuver the bottom bar of the gate into the bottom latch and then slide the top bar into the corresponding top latch while holding the lock itself open. This is made significantly more difficult as the gate itself does not slide very well. It will snag at certain stretch points and you'll need two hands to break through the sticky area while continuing to guide it into the mounting holes. not bad, but when you have to get over that sticky point every time you close the gate, you want to rip it off the wall real quick. Finally, the gate has no function to lock it open. If it's not locked, it just swings in the direction the wind is blowing. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere. Update: Since the bottom bar is longer than the top bar, it's possible to unzip the top section, but the bottom bar is still stuck. in the retaining bracket, which can lead to tripping hazards. The gate is also flimsy or not as expected and my 2 year old managed to break some of the vertical slats. Once one was ripped out, he could squeeze through. I used tape to reattach it while waiting for a better product. All in all I think the money was wasted on this gate and also that I put a few holes in my wall to install it.
