Summer Infant Extra Tall & Wide Safety Pet and Baby Gate, 29.5"-53" Wide, 38" Tall, Pressure or Hardware Mounted, Install on Wall or Banister in Doorway or Stairway, Auto Close Walk-Thru Door - Gray

I have a ton of experience in baby gates now thanks to my dogs.... I have two very rambunctious wiener dogs that need to be kept in their own room when I am at work. If they are allowed to roam free, nothing is off limits. In the wiener-room, they have a crate, a second bed, water and most importantly - tile flooring! They even rock out to samba music and jazz when I am not around... Now, I can leave them all day in their room and no surprises BUT if they break out of doggy jail, my carpet in the dining room is the promised land! I had a similar gate to this but it is about 4 years old and was used primarily outdoors so I wanted to keep it at the front door and have something nicer for their room since it leads into the common area - which still gives them a visual on the entire apartment. I bought a less expensive, plastic, tension-mounted gate and my boys were quick to work together to take that thing down. I bought and returned a wood gate - same reason. I figured out, if the tension mount portion is too cheap a plastic, one of my boys can unsrew it at the base! I put the old, rusty, metal gate up and it takes him about 2-3 days to unscrew one of the tension springs because it is super loose due to wear. I received this gate this week and it looks so much nicer than the old rusty one. Installed this quickly and like the one I am replacing it has nice metal parts and while the screw portion is made with a very rigid, heavy-duty plastic - all the other parts are a good quality metal. Since it is brand new, it is a little too tight/stiff for the monster to unscrew so the boys are safe in their room with no drama. If you want a cheap gate that you will only need for a year or so then go with the cheaper versions. Most people won't need a gate to last as long as I do. I grew up with super relaxed golden retrievers and never understood how important it is to set up a dog-land or provide them with a safe territory of their own, so I learned my lessons (plural because I am stubborn) the hard, expensive way. I cannot bring myself to crating them for the day, but when they have access to their crate, and have room to move around, free access to water and a wee-wee pad, they don't bark during the day and are better adjusted (my neighbors are thankful and everyone is less stressed). This gate is well worth the higher price point for quality and durability. If you are using for a larger pup, I would probably go with the more permanent mount and screw the sucker into the wall. I live in an apartment so I need a tension mount. I will upload pix soon. :) My two cents worth: I bought this with Amazon Prime for 54 bucks. You shouldn't need to spend more than 50-60 for a good sturdy gate. The 35 dollar ones are probably fine for kiddies as are typically not left unattended - right? (We all hope). For extra-wide doorways, this has two extensions and I have used extensions in the past with my older gate in my previous apartment, which had wheelchair-width doorways. This gate is identical in quality to my old one but there are more gaps that a super tiny pup might be able to squirm through - not a 17 lb wiener though. Feel free to ask any questions!

After reading the mixed reviews about this product, I ordered it with a great deal of trepidation. I can't express enough how happy I am with this product. I have a wider than normal separation between my family room and living room, and I needed to keep a lab mix puppy from wandering around the house, so I wanted a taller gate than the typical baby gate, something the puppy couldn't knock over or jump over, and a gate so that we could all get through easily rather than trying to step over it. I came home last night excited that my new gate was there and proceeded to put it together. I really don't understand the negative reviews about the directions and how hard it is to put together, because 1) you really don't even need the directions to put it together as it's super easy, and 2) I had the gate together and installed with no tools in less than a half hour, and I'm a 53 year old woman! The only part I had to look at on the directions was the order in which you tighten the suspension screws (bottom first, then top), and the panel set-up for my size opening. I also don't understand other comments about the gate being too narrow and clothes catching on the latch. After a few seconds learning how to open the gate (you need to slide the latch and then lift the gate up and away), none of my family had any problems getting through the opening, and we are not all skinny minnies! I also read comments about a tripping hazard over the bottom bar, and I don't get that either. Since you have to slide the latch and lift the gate to open and that opening is narrow, you are already slowed down to the point that you would certainly note to lift your feet 1" off the ground. If you have younger children, they probably would have difficulty getting through the gate without assistance. The gate is a powder coated bronze finish, and it looks super attractive installed. The gate does swing shut automatically, however, it does not "latch" shut...you must do that. If you have a reason that you need to leave the gate open, you would need to find some way to prop it open. So far, the gate has been very effective, it is sturdy, and it looks good, and there is no way the puppy can knock it over or push it open. I don't think an adult dog or a child would be able to knock it over either. The gate is attractive and serves its purpose. What more could you ask for? FYI, my opening was approximately 43-1/2" wide at the baseboards at the bottom of the gate, and about 45" wide at the top of the gate, so I used the main gate with the one long extension and one of the short extensions as shown on the directions. I certainly recommend this product to anyone looking for a tall and wide gate solution. Don't listen to the negative reviews.

We’ve been really happy with this gate. It was easy to install, feels very sturdy, and the foot pedal hands-free opening is a feature we use all the time. It swings smoothly, latches securely, and gives us peace of mind with our little ones. I also like that it looks much nicer than a typical baby gate and blends in well with our home. Definitely worth the purchase and I’d recommend it to anyone needing a reliable gate for kids or pets.

The gate is attractive and it took less than 15 min. to install. We did not have any confusion while installing it, the instructions are simplistic. It comes with a tool to tighten the gate to the walls. We do not have it screwed into the walls and it's pretty darn steady/secure. You can screw it into the walls for added security if you want. I have added photos to this page. It's working well for the two purposes that we needed it for: keeping a one-year old from falling down the stairs and keeping our dogs on one floor of the house. I'm glad we bought it and I would recommend it even though there are a few downsides. The gate opening is fairly narrow. This is by design because it gives the gate more stability, but it does mean that you have to be a little careful passing through. We are very average-sized people so it's not too much of an issue. There is also a security lip that keeps the gate from swinging the wrong direction (which is a good security feature) but that lip does protrude a bit and causes somewhat of a safety concern as that lip could get caught on someone's clothing. This would not be an issue at the bottom of the stairs, but we have our gate installed at the top of the stairs. I wouldn't go so far as to call it a trip hazard, but it's something to monitor when you pass through. The lip serves a function so I don't think the company could get rid of it. There are times when we want to leave the gate open so we have a little bungee cord that we use (see photo) to hold it open. P.S. If at any time the gate isn't closing as securely, all you have to do is quickly tighten the cushions that attach to the walls and the gate squares up. It is RARE that we have to do this, but it's a quick fix. Also, it's critical to note that the gate comes out of the box with the door not squared up. It appeared to be almost broken but I noticed that there was a note from the company saying that was by design and the gate would square up once attached to the walls. Sure enough, it does just that. So don't be concerned if it comes out of the box looking uneven. Update: We have purchased our second one and now have one at the bottom of the stairs and the top of the stairs. Very easy to install.

I now own four of these gates and I'm very pleased with my purchase of them. I started off with just two to test them out for a while in one room due to some of the negative reviews. I will say that from my experience with multiple gates is that this is a high quality product at a decent price considering that this is a metal unit that does not look as obtrusive in your home as many baby gates do. Installation: Take your time here and make sure to get it right. As noted in other reviews, your gate will come bowed out - this is so that it can maintain tension using only the bottom bar across. As you properly adjust it during installation, it will even out and become straight. After a few months - or anytime you notice that the gate is not functioning the way it should, you may need to take out the little wrench they include with purchase and make some minor adjustments. Mine have held up with minimal adjustments, even with a toddler that likes to stand on the bottom bars and shake at the gate at times. Use: My gates swing closed fairly well and consistently. If you let the gate go gently, it will not latch, but if you are walking though, and just let the gate swing behind you, it does a fine job of latching on it's own. There have been a few times when my gates have not been closing properly, but upon closer inspection, I just needed to make a few adjustments to bring the gate back into alignment. The latch mechanism has held up well to the tugging and pulling of a toddler without fear that the gate would open - that was one of the points I was nervous about in getting baby gates that would swing open. I have these gates installed in openings with a variety of widths, and in my opinion, when using all of the included extensions, you will probably also want to use the wall-mount hardware, as you can feel some give in it. I had it installed for months without it, and I never had a problem, but as my little crawler turned into a toddler, that then began putting more stress on the gates at times, I just feel better with the wall-mount hardware installed. The gate closing by itself can be loud, but this sound also helps you know that it has latched, as it sounds distinctly different if it fails to latch. If the volume is a problem during nap time and such, I would just gently close it by hand. I also really like the height to these gates. My little guy can climb on just about anything, but he can't make any headway to trying to climb over this gate. The one negative that I have experienced is that when he stands on the bottom bars, there is the chance of his little leg going through to the other side. I wish the bars were just a bit closer together, as he has gotten his leg stuck once and then he fell down with his leg up in it. It didn't do much more than frighten him, but it is a slight cause for concern. Overall, as far as baby gates go, I am very happy with this purchase, and have been adding to my collection of them as needed. They are sturdy, functional and stylish enough to not disturb the look of your room too much.

This is a great gate for either a baby or pet. I I have a 8 month, 70 lbs pittie, yes she is a big girl. We started out with a regular white plastic baby gate (the common ones for around $20) but even though she couldn't jump over it, she figured out a way to get over by unsing the wall and her own weight to balance over it. Once she learn that strategy, there was no stopping her. Another down side about the regular white plastic baby gate is that you have to jump over it, not so easy when you have groceries in your hands. Which takes me to the best part of the walk-thru baby gate. The door is able to stay open in order for you to keep walking though without having to keep opening it every single time, all you do is simply push it until you feel it lock, kind of what your car door does when opening it all the way, preventing it from closing on you. It has a great strong lock when you close it and the button on top that you use to push in order to open is super soft, so you push with your thumb and lift just a little. Very sturdy and easy to assemble *****caution: when you first open your new walk through bby gate you will see the door is NOT aligned evenly with the rest of the gate. When you open it you will see what I'm talking about, well don't worry and certainly do not try to pull them together, when you assemble it against the wall and begin to tight up your bolts to fit your desired area it will all come together and even on its own***** The assembly was super easy, and the best part is that it has multiple panels to add or removed inches to get the best fit, and you can save the rest in case you move or need to have a different area gate. Once positioned, you can start tightening the bolts evenly with the little tool provided for you (so no holes on your wall!!) and voila it is set. I love how great it looks, not cheap or flimsy. The color is great because it can match many different color schemes. I gave it all 5 stars because, it's easy to assemble, looks super nice, is much more sturdy than the white gate we use to have ( we had to put books on the side to make it tight and even then my puppy would always knock it down lol) and the door is just perfect, swing shut after you walk though reassuring you that your little love one, fur or no fur will be safe on the side you want them to be on. It's totally worth the money spent, because more than likely you will not need to purchase another gate for a long time!!

IN LOVE with this gate!! I had been looking for an in home gate(s) months (and was hesitant on one's I saw because previous gates I purchased were either not sturdy enough to tolerate my dogs jumping, broke over time, hard to open and close ; lock ). This gate was definitely a game changer. Not only is it extremely sturdy but, also very easy to set up and matched my decor. This is a MUST BUY!!

This is a great gate for wide spaces. The installation was not too difficult, but definitely a two person job if you are adding extension panels for a wide space, mostly because of how heavy the gate is. We used small pieces of wood between the tension screw and the wall to protect the wall (after the wall was damaged due to 98# blind dog running into gate). Now they sell protectors, but honestly, our painted pieces of wood do just fine (even when our teenager forgets to open the gate and runs over it and knocks it off the wall). Also due to our 98# dog, we elected to adhere a small piece of wood to the floor on one side of the gate so our 98# dog would not make the gate panels bend where the extension panel attaches when he leans against it for long periods. Before him, we never had any issues with gate panels not staying straight because we only had small dogs. The reason we need a new one is the lower tension screws are now stripped and won't tighten against the wall. So, the only thing holding it up is the top two tension screws. It is still functioning perfectly, but it gets slanted a little and a little bit out of adjustment (the gate doesn't open and close perfectly smoothly because the tension is too tight right now to keep it sturdy without the lower tension screws). In a household with smaller dogs, and kids who don't barrel through the gate, I imagine it would last even longer :) One really nice thing about the gate is you can adjust the tilt slightly so it doesn't close all of the way automatically (tilt and the tightness of the tension are the adjustments you make to get the gate working just how you want it). This way, during the daytime, when the dogs are allowed to follow us all over the house, they can, and the gate will just push open and they can come and go as they please. At night we keep it shut. The gate is really easy to open and shut with one hand when you walk through, even when it's locked as well. If it isn't opening smoothly or has resistance, then the top bar tension is too tight. Having the bar tension (either) too tight will also cause the panels to buckle and not stay straight. After this many years, we know our gate well and can tell when it needs an adjustment and what to do. In the beginning, it was a little frustrating to figure out why it wasn't operating correctly. I would recommend purchasing or making wall protectors if you install it with the tension screws. If you have larger dogs or kids, sooner or later, someone will crash into it and knock it over (my son first did it when he was 5, he was in a hurry and tripped when he was opening it and fell onto it) - it's just probably going to happen sometime.

It looks and works great! It was a simple installation, and was up in no time at all! It’s heavy and solid, and despite the long walk, was delivered right to my front door! It’s secure which was a big concern, and I am relying solely on pressure! I was looking for an attractive pressure gate, with security, height and an easy install… that’s exactly what I received! The auto shut was a bonus and it arrived quickly! Well worth the money! If my opinion changes, I will write an update, but for now, I am thoroughly pleased!

Estoy feliz todo mundo que viene me pregunta por ella es de excelente calidad y con un diseño muy bonito. Sin duda una de mis mejores compras mis perritos están a salvo de no salirse a la calle.

Compre el producto Summer Infant Puerta de Seguridad para Bebés, para Escaleras, Puertas y Espacios Anchos, 29.5-53 Inch, Gris/Rojo. Y requiero de 2 extensiones una de 33.5" X 38" (alto) y otra de 41.5" X 38" (alto). Como puedo hacer para comprarlas?

We installed this at the top of our stairs because we didn't want to drill into our balusters for our baby gate. The wood pieces are solid and don't appear as though they'll break easily. It's nice that there are essentially three ways to install this: 1) Use provided sticky back foam pieces to help secure plastic holder to baluster along with straps. 2) Use the straps to hold the plastic holder without peeling off the sticky back. 3) Drill the plastic holders into the baluster (which kind of defeats the purpose of no screws lol). Once you ratchet the plastic straps around the baluster, it's pretty secure. The only concern would be that the ratcheting system is also made of plastic, save for a few metal pins, so I would be concerned about longevity. But frankly speaking, you're probably not going to use it long enough to have them wear down or slip. All in all, solid unit, glad we didn't have to drill, would definitely recommend.

Muy buen producto. Resistente y fácil de armar. Buen precio. No es necesario perforar la pared. Lo recomiendo
