Review on Safety 1St Eco Friendly Nature Between by Steven Boyd

I've been using it for about 6 months now and here's what I think: Good things: + It keeps the dog out of the litter box + It's pretty aesthetically pleasing wise on the children's gates.+ They are short enough that I can step over them instead of opening and locking them every time I have to enter the space they block+. They are thin enough that I can safely close the door. a door with a gate in the doorpost. *Bad thing*: - It really hurts to open this thing. The metal clasp is so tight on the wood that I have to pry it off over and over again to take it off. My (very short) nails often break off the wood, which hurts. Latching the gate can also be painful, about half the time my skin gets stuck in the latch lever and breaks. locking force. Ouch! - Sticks in the door frame and makes cuts that will peel the paint. The hallway and doors in our house need a repaint, so far so good, but the gate will likely need to be repurposed or thrown away if that repaint is done. these gates. For this reason I do not recommend it to anyone. The only reason I still use it is because I paid $31 for it and I'm flexible enough to get over it like a hurdle, not too much of a problem for me. And while Good Stuff is good, I know there are other gates out there with the exact same benefits and no PAIN! I wish I knew how much hell a locking mechanism would bring me before I bought one. Let my misfortune warn you, dear Revain buyer.
