Fragile and almost impossible to install

As other reviewers have said, this gate does not install cleanly. When you finally get it, it won't be strong at all. No matter what I did (add spacers, extra zip ties, adjust height, drill holes, etc.) nothing worked. It wouldn't turn off, and it wouldn't stay where it is. Our little one opened it immediately at every check. I'm a big fan of summer products; The other 8 gates we have in our house belong to this brand. However, this particular model just doesn't cut it.

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • old

A defective upper cam lock makes the gate UNSECURE.

Took about an hour to install. The instructions are decent, but if you're installing them on railings, they're overlooking a few key steps that are required for the gate to function properly. I gave this product one star for one reason. The top cam locks on my gates were loose. What does it mean when the top of the gate can slide inwards, meaning the top latch will not latch! There is no solution for this in the manual. I was able to fix this myself by using a vise to bend the parts holding the

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Requires outlet

Difficult to install and use, but works well.

the instructions were not very clear. It took some time to get this setup right and it wasn't clear which way the gate would open until the end of the setup, although it should only open one way. The brackets on our railing posts also don't match up exactly and we had to move all the gates, so it's kind of a play over the edge of our posts on one side. It's still attached well, but I wish it was all over the inside of the posts. It also took some time to figure out how to open and close the…

I would call it a success

After reading the reviews, it turned out that the gate was very easy to set up. The instructions are also very simple and clear. Others who have had the same setup (top stair railing on one side, baseboard wall on the other) have suggested using shims to align the gate to the wall (so there is no problem with the baseboard) and it works Well. However, it looks like the gate actually already has adjustments for this gap, which is handy, but we didn't notice them until we screwed on the shims…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • The list will be long.

Great concept, terrible production

Once installed it is very easy to use and looks pretty good. Issues: My first came with a broken corner on the box and a broken hinge in that area. Revane was fantastic about the replacement. A second came and the same part was not stamped to the correct shape. Thankfully the gate still works and minimally impacts functionality, so I proceeded with the install and left it. The instructions are terrible. Only pictures and steps not in English version. The French version of the guide shows when…

Pros
  • Great!
Cons
  • Expensive

Safety and quality issues

I ordered this gate and found 3 safety issues with the product upon delivery, one of which relates to quality control. Went to the manufacturer but they won't let you send a message longer than 400 characters to even remotely tell them. Since I threw away all the packaging I couldn't return it without crafting or finding the box so I took out a loan from Revain to get 50% of my money back and threw it away. The first problem was bad, sloppy welds (A. Left gate mount) preventing both (D. Hinge…

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

Don't buy this - it's dangerous

I really wanted to like this gate. Systems for attaching gates to railings without drilling are very effective and simple. Installation was a bit of a hassle - you need to get it right if you want the gate to open and close properly. I ended up having to add spacers between the tops of the gate and the railing. Okay, it hurt a little, but it felt like we were in business. Until my 11 month old accidentally opened the gate! You see, I didn't realize that two of the four cams that were supposed…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Transparency

Room for improvement

We installed this gate about 2 months ago. I cannot fully vouch for the installation, but my husband did it quickly enough. We installed it in the wall on one side and around the railing on the other. My biggest complaint is that there is nothing attached to the locking mechanism on the side of the railing, so after a few openings of the gate, which consists of pulling up and towards you, the mechanism slides up. This causes a few problems. 1 is that it doesn't lock completely. The other one…

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

Great product for all types of stairs without drilling the railing.

This product works well from railing to railing and from railing to wall. I would imagine this would work well wall to wall. Also, you don't have to drill the railing, which I really liked. First, I had no problem attaching it to the railing at the base of my stairs. The instructions were very clear and everything was set up in no time. The only reason I gave it four stars is the need to make modifications to get it working properly from banister to wall at the top of my stairs. Again, it was…

  • Decent performance
