Customer Review: Gate works for large openings, but installation is permanant
Summary: 3 Stars
This gate works for wide openings. Our width was 62-inches wide, and was the area between the dining room and the kitchen.
This particular gate uses four mounts that you screw into your walls. The gate itself can easily be detached from the mounts after installation in case you want to temporarily remove the gate. Another comment indicated that your baseboard may get into the way during installation. This is true. You do have the option of cutting the baseboard, or do what we did, mount the gate just above the baseboard. This was suspended less than three inches for us, so no child could get their head stuck in the gap. The only thing that it did was make the gate a little flimsy, being suspended in the air like that. It works for now, and I can always change it later. It would seem more sturdy if the bottom bar laid on the floor all the way across the opening, as I believe that is what it is designed to do. Screws for mounting seem a little short, if you take into consideration the thickness of your drywall (in case you want to screw into a stud). I used a couple of deck screws to mount the brackets onto one side of the wall that would insert into a stud. You may want to locate a stud in your walls on at least one side of your opening for better stability. The other side is mounted in drywall for us with the provided plastic inserts. The latching mechanism can be unlatched with one hand, but you really need two hands to re-latch it. Unlike the narrower version of this gate, the door is not spring loaded, so it stays open where you leave it. It swings open to either side of the gate. Color is brown. The narrower version of this gate is in white. Again, we have both. We expect the gate to functionally work for us. If you have wooden floors, you may want to run a rubber or one-half of the velcro tape (the soft side) underneath the bottom bar to prevent scratching your floors, as the unit shifts slightly upon use. Good luck with this gate.
