Revainrating 3 out of 5

Do you want to drill walls as far as possible?

This product is slightly cheaper than a number of alternative products that I have reviewed and this makes up for the product's shortcomings in most cases. You usually paid for this, but the product advertises itself as a pressurized mount (which means you don't have to drill any holes) and I just don't think that's really the case. I think most people will understand that the overall structure with gates is a little weak. The vertical sections on the left and right of the through hole are not strong enough. So if you push on the rubber feet that secure the gate between two walls, you can go too far and actually bend the posts inward. In this case the locking/locking mechanism will not work properly and you will not be able to actually open the gate door. Basically he's locked up. So you have to loosen the rubber feet until the latch opens again. The tension of the rubber feet at this point is "so-so" and therefore the gate does not connect very firmly between the two walls they are attached to. My daughter almost broke her head (grandmother caught her) when 5 minutes after installation she walked and "hung" on it and pulled it right out of the opening of our stairs and fell to the ground with the gate on it. She was just over a year old and probably weighed 20 pounds; So if she can pull them out, she can do anything. To protect the gate, it probably says somewhere in the instructions that you have to screw the plastic cups into the wall so that the rubber feet cannot slip out. My problem, and probably many people's, is that I didn't want to drill screw holes in my walls or specifically in my case in my posts, so I bought a 'pressure mounted' gate for the first time. . Place. If they made the gate stronger you could really unscrew the rubber feet and the friction alone would protect the gate. The problem with these gates is that they are too flimsy and when you twist the rubber feet they flex on their own and the gate won't open. You can see in my photos that I got creative with some ties, blocks of wood and pads. I was finally able to securely attach the gate without drilling holes in the posts. Part of the work I had to do was that the novella posts were thicker at the bottom than at the top, and therefore the distance between the gates was different from top to bottom. lower. There is probably no suitable gate on the market without some custom. I've been installing gates for about 2 years now and haven't had any problems with them. The locking mechanism and gate hinge are simple and work well, they work the same today as they did 2 years ago. The gate is probably 3.5 stars but as I have to choose between 3 or 4 and the average person may not be willing or able to do what I did to secure the gate without putting holes in the Drill wall, 3 stars.
