Safety 1st Bamboo Baby Gate for Doorways, No Drill Gate with Door, Dog Gates, Fits 28″-42″, 24″ High, Bamboo and Black

Well made, trusted brand, still going strong with improved engineering.
I bought safety 1st stuff when my eldest was a baby 30 years ago, I still have two of the gates. They were starting to need replaced, and these are a huge improvement. This company just always seems to get it right. the supports in the corners are keeping the pressure off the joints, where the others started to bend after 30 years. Just well made over all. A bit too hard at first to unfold, but eventually the metal bit released. No problem since removing and moving it. I find the black plastic a much more stylish choice than the white from my old ones.

Sturdy and effective construction – Stoppers mark walls
Quick look notes:+++ Well built, strong gate+++ Dark plastic web material is durable+++ Secure locking mechanism+++ Pleasant looks— Rubber stoppers will mark light colored paint— Locking mechanism has a slight learning curveWhat is immediately evident upon handling the gate for the first time is the fact that Safety 1st obviously spent a considerable amount of talent and effort in the design and construction of what my seem like a simple product. It’s the type of item that supports the mindset of investing in one quality, reliable product as opposed to cycling through cheap, poor quality junk. The wood frame, plastic mesh construction is unique, pleasing to the eye, and, most importantly, solid.The gates (I quickly purchased a second two days after using my first) have shown no weakness in keeping our two dogs constrained to a specific section of the house whilst we are away. The elderly whine-master basset hound, well, it’s likely a simple 2×4 would have been enough of an obstacle for her to just yawn and not give second thought to leaving the room. Our lab/pit mix, though also on in years, is a more enterprising, athletic sort. She’s found ways around or over makeshift blockades in the past (she’s simply devastated if she can’t spend a majority of her day napping on our memory foam bed), but she’s yet to attempt any Ocean’s 11 shenanigans with the new gates. We keep them at a relatively low height, and I honestly think that she could hop the gates with a running start, but she’s also frightened by pretty much anything, and so I think the gates are simply too daunting for her.I have to say that while I can be quite dim at times, I was surprised with just how much I initially struggled with the locking mechanism. There is a learning curve, but a few minutes of practice revealed its secrets to me. It’s simple resistance notch system that allows the gate to fit a wide variety of openings. There is a substantial difference in size between the two doorways we use our gates on, and each gate fits perfectly. TIP 1: Find the notch where the gate fits perfectly between the two surfaces, then go one notch tighter. It will take a bit more effort to close the latch, but this guarantees a solid resistance and a gate that isn’t going anywhere. If you go up just one notch, it will be tight, but there is no fear of breaking the unit. TIP 2: To save time I’ve made markings in red sharpie on either side of the perfect tension notch for each gate. This will save a moment in each setup, as you can simply hold the bar in the specific notch, lower the bar, and you’re all set up.I would love to give the product five stars, but there is a definite down side that I feel bears mention. The sides of the gates have black, solid rubber stoppers (two on each side) that support it’s structure against the wall and also help with tension and non-slippage. Unfortunately the material will also leave slight but noticeable black markings on light colored paints. A little bit of elbow grease has been able to remove them, so the damage isn’t permanent, but you would think that non-marking would have been somewhere on their design list. Perhaps in future iterations. I’m sure the handier among us could come up with some kind of temporary solution to prevent the marking, but my SO and I honestly don’t mind that much. POSSIBLY DUBIOUS TIP: We in fact use the subtle markings as placement guides when we put the gates up (don’t judge).Overall, I’m quite impressed with just how impressed I am with an indoor gate. I sort of enjoy putting them up, actually, quickly nabbing the duty when the SO and I are planning to walk out the door. I can tell our two gates will last a good long time and then some, and they are surprisingly pleasant to look at. I’d only knock off 1/2 a star if there were an option, but, as it is, the marking rubber keeps the gate from a perfect score. Something tells me that Safety 1st is already aware of the issue and will hopefully update the material in future iterations.Drop me a comment if you have any questions about the gate; I reply fairly quickly. Safe shopping, folks!

Update: Hice la devolución por medio del portal de amazon, y debo decir: mis respetos! La logística y la forma en que manejan los reclamos y devoluciones son de primer nivel. Ya tengo en mi poder la baranda de seguridad. Todo perfecto. Muchas gracias!El articulo esta perfecto para delimitar zonas, cuenta con un sencillo pero funcional mecanismo y en general está bien construido. Trae instrucciones de uso y garantía por su registro en linea. Me gusto la relación precio y calidad. Creo que es de los mas baratos en el mercado y no por ello es un mal artículo. Desafortunadamente se me envío el producto muy mal empaquetado, es una lástima que siendo usuario prime, se me envíen los productos solo envueltos en plástico negro y ya, ni una etiqueta señalando que es un producto frágil. Se perfectamente que que si no viene etiquetado como frágil, el personal de la paquetería lo maneja sin el cuidado necesario. Tan es así, que uno de los tres barandales que compré, llego roto y lo estoy devolviendo en este momento.

Received on time.Did not need to assembleStrong and durable.Looks good.

This is fabulous product. I use it every day. It’s easy to put up and light enough that it can not seriously hurt a child if it falls on them. A must for every household with a baby or toddler
