Review on ๐Ÿšง ALVOD Baby Gate: Auto Close Walk Thru Dog & Baby Gate for Stairs and Doorways, Extra Wide and High, Black by Cassandra White

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Expensive but reliable when it comes to security

Once installed this is a strong gate. The door remains braced in both directions when fully opened, but otherwise closes automatically without any problems. It locks securely both top and bottom every time. I've included a video (sorry for the dirty floor) of a door that opens both ways. There are different ways to install it depending on the importance of not unzipping it. If you use a pressure mount, check it from time to time. I can imagine how it pulled itself into place, the metal might be slightly sagging somewhere below. I find the instructions a bit lax. It has a zip tie with a label that says it can't be cut until the installation is complete, but they don't really tell you why (I'll tell you - expanding the clamps compresses the top of the gate and does the trick). , that it works ).. If you cut before installation, just understand that you need to flatten the top and keep it in line with the bottom latch hole. Novel.). This explains that the gap disappears once it's installed, but that's all explained backwards. In any case, the installation is easy enough, and once you do it, you won't have too many problems disassembling and repeating it elsewhere. It may be easiest to reinstall another zip tie (or strap) if you remove it to align the top and bottom latches. Another odd choice is to make the "reinforcement slots" out of raw metal rather than black like the rest of the gate. . It comes with everything you need and the whole build is pretty easy to start up. I recommend this, it's a worth $90 buy and easy to install and use, although if you push the width to the max the door gets disproportionately small - I can replace them with gates that have more doors and fewer Have walls for the gap I'm tempted to close.

Pros
  • Good thing
Cons
  • Good but not great
