🚪 Cardinal Gates Stairway Special Gate: Safeguard Your Stairs with Unparalleled Security Review

Excellent quality and durability. We love them and have them in 4 places in the house! Not a very easy install, but it's nothing you can't do in about half an hour with a screwdriver and drill.

After several months of operation, we had to reduce the width of the door. The heads of the hex bolts were not loosened with a wrench. The metal has turned to pulp. Too soft, cheap. Now we have to buy another $100 gate because they skimped on cheap screws. Otherwise good goals.

In fact, when I first installed it, I missed the important part of setting the required spacing. I ended up drilling self tapping screws to adjust the slide position. On the second purchase I barely noticed the…

This thing is solid and I'm very happy with it. We have this gate at the top of the stairs and there is another brand of tension gate at the bottom. Then I compare them a little. I found the instructions very easy to follow, so I'm thinking of YMMV. They even state how high off the ground both mounts should be. These gates can be mounted at a slight angle, which we needed, and give you the best possible rackmount options, whereas tension gates need to be at a 90 degree angle. The opening…
