Baby Products Reviews of KidCo G15 White Center Gateway with Walk Through Pressure Gate
Customer Review: A great gate!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased two and love them. The gate was easy to open and close. Installation was easy, but took some time to get the tension in place correctly. I felt it was very sturdy. I think the people who thought is was not, did not install the gate correctly. My little one was constantly hanging and pulling on them. Another thing I found great was, you can install it on walls that are uneven since the top and bottom screws adjust individually. I also loved the fact that they did not need to be permanently installed which leaves holes in the walls. We were just renting at the time, and I didn't want the hassle of taking them off and repairing the holes when we moved. I would certainly recommend this gate, just take the time to install it correctly and you will not have any trouble. However, like the safety experts say, a permantly installed gate is better for the top of the stairs.Customer Review: Poorly designed and expensive to boot.

First, to those who complain about the bar across the bottom: hey, people, that's the only way you can get a tension-type gate to work. Without it, the gate would fall apart when you open the door. If you don't like it, you have to get the type that you screw into the walls. Now for the bad stuff. The gate does not work at the maximum advertised width, like 37 1/2 inches without extensions, etc. The gate is absolutely dangerous. If you set the tension per instructions with the gauge included, your 11-month old WILL open it. With the handle locked in place, all you have to do is pull up on the door and it is unlatched. My son can't even walk yet and he opened it. He pulls himself up to his feet against the gate. Then he lifts up on the bars, which frees it, and since he is leaning against it... kaboom! Not a good scenario at the top of the stairs, folks!Customer Review: kidco gate for church nusery
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this gate for our church nursery. So far it is working out very well. We have had other plastic gates that worked fine but were broken off the wall by kids hanging and swinging on it. The KidCo metal gate opens from the center so we are hoping it will hold up much longer and not be an enticement to kids swinging on the open gate door. The only negative for me is the tripping hazard of the bar across the bottom of the gate or threshold. I have seen other gates that have a threshold more like one in a home. This bar on the threshold takes some getting used to and could be a hazard for someone who is not aware of it's height. The childproof locking feature is a plus! If it lasts longer than our last two gates I would give it a 5 star rating but since we only have it a month, I gave it 4 stars.Customer Review: Solid performer!

This gate is one of the best I have seen. I searched through as many as I could find online. It is made from heavy gauge metal with a plastic locking mechanism. (There are also a few other small plastic pieces.) It is very sturdy and simple to use. It uses pressure points for installation on the wall so there are no holes or marks made on the wall. The adjustable screws for installing are very thick and not easily bent which is important when you have them fully extended. I use it to keep my large Labrador Retriever in his area. I also have 4 children, 4 years through 9 years old, and they are able to navigate through the gate easily. Although, we don't engage the lock usually. Works great and I have had it for a month now. Worth the extra $$$ when looking for a product that lasts.Customer Review: Buy this gate only if you want a broken toe!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
This gate is horrible! Every person who came to my house tripped over the gate or stubbed their toe on it. If you look at the picture, you can tell that there is a stationary bottom rail that goes across it. The rail is not part of the gate that opens....it stays on the floor and sits above the floor in a fashion just perfect for tripping. My mom broke her toe on the gate. A dinner guest of mine (who was investing in our company) tripped and fell flat on his face carrying a glass of red wine. My husband and I had black and blue toes for weeks until we got used to it. Also I had to tighten the gate constantly or it would get lose enough to fall under pressure. This gate is a safety hazard to the poor adults that have to use it every day!
