Review on 🚪 Munchkin Easy Close Pressure Mounted Baby Gate: Walk Through Metal Gate for Stairs, Hallways, and Doors – White, 35x29.5 Inch (Pack of 1) by Danielle Jones

Freshly installed. The instructions are sad, the youtube videos are awful, but it's pretty easy if you take some time to figure out how it should fit together. The pads that come into contact with the wall are each attached to a large screw with a nut. You adjust the distance by moving the nut on the bolt. Once the gate is in place and you've hand-tightened the nuts, you can use the included wrench to finish turning the nuts holding the gate structure in place. This tightening of the nuts gradually assembles the latch, which separates about three inches when the box is opened. There is a piece of plastic that attaches to the bottom of the gate. When the gate is in the closed position, you can rotate the extension to either side to lock the gate. You cannot open it even if you unlock the gate's handle at the top. Net you have a double locking system if you want or need it. I bought gates for my dogs so I won't be using locks but I can see it being useful if you use one for kids. You don't need to press the top and bottom handles to close the gate, you can just close it. After closing, you need to click on the top and bottom controls to open it again. Simple, effective. I was able to install them on a 37 and 1/4 inch square using thick wall boards that I bought separately. but it is very close to the limit. I'm ordering a 5.5" spacer to replace the 2.75" spacer that comes with the gate (works great, just need something bigger). You can install as many spacers as you like, they all fit together, but I don't know how much you can add before losing structural stability. With a short distance it is very stable. The hardware is strong enough to put significant pressure on your walls. If you're inserting a gate between wall studs, you can screw in some end caps or attach a strip to the wall with something hard, maybe on one side. My baseboard moved a bit when I first tightened the fastener (too bad I didn't think about it beforehand), so I moved the fastener about an inch to where the baseboard support was better.
