Customer Review: Great metal gate
Summary: 4 Stars
Quality:
When I unpackaged the gate I noticed that one of the rails on one of the expansion sections has a bad weld, so that end of the rail isn't attached. I'm in the process of working with customer service to get a replacement piece.
Installation:
The instructions claim for a 59 1/2" opening that I should use 3 of the 4 expansion pieces, but I found that it actually will fit with all 4 expansion pieces and actually fits well and is very sturdy in this configuration. Anything less than around 59" will require removing at least one of the expansions though.
The mounting brackets for the bottom sections are quite tall, or my baseboards are just short. Either way, the top screw for these brackets isn't floats away from my baseboards. This can easily be fixed by adding some shims to fill in the gap between the baseboard and bracket though (does require some extra skill and tools).
Mounting the top brackets required some measuring (though you could probably eyeball it and get it well enough). I'm somewhat of a perfectionist though, so I also made sure everything was level. I found that the plastic on at least one of the brackets is warped a bit, so attaching it to the wall straightened it out and now the rotating part doesn't really 'lock' into place very tightly. Not a huge deal till my son figures out how those work, then I guess I can drill a hole through them add another screw in them to make sure he can't remove them.
I also found that if you adjust the top bolts so that the fence is tightly fit between the gap then it can make the gate hard to close, so a little bit of give actually works better for overall functionality.
There's some plastic/rubber covers to cover the screws that hold the sections together that I don't particularly like they way they look. They seem like afterthoughts, but I still put them on the top sections for 'safety'.
Use:
So far no failures of the gate or any other hardware. My 7-month old pulls himself up on the gate all day long and it doesn't give any. The only downside is that it doesn't give any, particularly when he bumps his head on it. I think I need to invest in a baby helmet if such a thing exists so he can learn to walk without getting brain damage.
