🔒 Enhanced Safety with Cardinal Gates Stairway Special Gate in Sleek Black Design Review

We had a complicated stair fixture with a molded handrail on one side and a handrail on the other that required the gate to close at an angle rather than across (see image ). ). I found this to be the only gateway that will work. Flat and round mounting brackets, sold separately, made mounting the gate to the railing easy, and the instructions were clear. As others have pointed out, the screws that come with the mount are not fully threaded. I had to buy shorter 20x1/4 screws to attach the…

Bought 6 months ago before our son was born. Now that our son has started to crawl, I decided to install it. What a nightmare. The top and bottom of the latch were not straight. Tried to tweak and reconfigure to get it working. Maybe a few pucks would do? But instead the head of the screw broke off and now I have to remove the screw. Considering that I use them on stairs, the screw head on the wall mount breaks. This is incredibly dangerous. I don't know how it got JPMI certified. Many reviews…

I bought this gate in February 2013, over four years ago. As a mom, I find these goals indispensable in everyday life. The father in the house hates it. (So I had to deduct a star for all the abuse I've received over the years because of this gate. All this time he's been struggling with his existence. Poor bastard! However, he only paid for the new purchase because the gate expired after four Years of wear and tear and abuse from many children and young people is beyond repair This morning one

Once the gate is lifted and the latch is set, the gate feels really good - very strong and, depending on how perfectionistic you are with the latch, nice and easy to open. Getting the latch right is the tricky part. The instructions here are very thin. actually not available. The problem is that there is very little tolerance for the position of the part that attaches to the wall that the gate abuts to close the latch. If you have this part too high, the gate will not rise high enough to put…

Good. So I might not like these goals in their actual dynamics, but I like that they actually work in our situation. Cons: Difficult for me as an adult to engage the mechanism. This seems very counterintuitive and will take a lot of practice before I think it will come naturally. I also think this mechanism is louder than other gates we have. Sometimes the instructions were difficult to understand. Pros: We needed a gate at the top of the stairs that had to be mounted with hardware, not…

Very disappointed with the quality control of this gate model. We have two metal exterior gates that work great and work as expected so we had no hesitation in ordering three of these wooden gates. Unfortunately, the latches on all three are useless. We couldn't even fit pieces of all three together to do a job. One gate also had a long crack in its wooden frame. The photos show how poorly constructed the breech is, everything is bent and welded at an angle. The plastic grommets also wouldn't…

Received and installed 4/19/19. I chose this product based on a review on the Wirecutter website, which called it the best gate for kids at the time. Installation - only four screws required. Contains four short and two long. You better have four more long hauls. They give you two long screws in case you need longer screws on one side of the drywall rig and for stud access, but they should give you four. I used four long screws and didn't use the short ones as I needed longer screws to get to…

So here's the TLDR review: Extremely solid construction, one of the few gates I've found that can be completely removed with the brackets attached to the wall for example contractors /moving stuff/etc, and also one of the few that lets you adjust the angle up to 30°* which is a great feature even if you *think* you don't need it. Fuller Review: I have a toddler and a house with a second level and basement and there are no doors requiring gates that were well made and difficult to open to…
