Toddleroo by North States – Deluxe Décor Safety Gate: Hardware Mounted Extra Wide Metal Baby Gate – Adjustable Child Gate – 38.3 to 72 Inches Wide – 30 Inches Tall – Matte Bronze

Looks Great, Sturdy and Works Great. See How to Install with Baseboards
We bought this gate to contain our new whirlwind of a puppy, to a smaller section of the house while house training him. In the past we’ve used the tension kind of gate that you had to step over but that was kind of a pain.So glad we spent a little extra and got this one as it looks very nice, is sturdy and a good quality gate.It was pretty easy to install and was helpful that they provided measured templates that you can cut out and place against the wall to show where you need to put the screws in. I installed it in about 15 to 20 minutes taking my time.IMPORTANT NOTE: This gate will work perfectly if the area and two walls you are mounting it to do NOT have baseboards (or if your baseboard is very short – like an inch and a half). If you do have baseboards taller than that (like we do), you have 2 options, 1 – Cut the baseboard section out where the bottom mount will overlap. But that is a bit obtrusive and going to be a pain to repair when you decide to take the gate down. So the second option (which is the one I did), is to measure so that the bottom mount is just above/right on top of the baseboard, then measure from there to the top mount making sure the distance between mounts is still correct.When doing this, the bottom of the gate will no longer be flush with the floor. Our baseboards are only a couple of inches so it is still workable as the puppy can’t fit under there (obviously). Also, you no longer have support of the floor across bottom of the gate now. So what I did to fix that was took a wooden dowel, cut two pieces to the size of the gap under each hinge point (there are only two), painted them black and then put one under each hinge so that it was a tension fit. Tip, cut the dowel just a hair long and then file it down to creep up on the right size.That sounds alot worse than it actually was and the 15 to 20 minute install did not include the wooden dowel fix.But at the end of the day, it is very sturdy, looks nice and works like a charm! We also like that it has a light spring on the gate to close it but if you open the gate all the way, it will stay open which is helpful on occassion.

ADD RUBBER GRIP PADS, Durable, beautiful, simple to install and use gate
Keeping this 5 stars, but adding some user suggestions or even suggestions for the manufacturer too.1. ADD RUBBER GRIP PADS to the bottom of each corner of the gate where it hinges and touches the floor. Do this only if installing the gate over HARD floors. This will protect your floor from children who like to push and pull and kick the gate which causes it to move slightly back and forth and cause a nice scratch in your floor if you do not have these pads. it will add more grip and keep the gate from budging at all. I bought 1.5 inch self adhesive rubber grip pads from Walmart and I found them to be perfect size.2. If you are trying to keep a small cat or dog inside the gated area you will need to weave cardboard or some other material in and out of the bars to keep small animals from squeezing between the bars. This is almost a reason for me to remove one star, but it is such a great gate and I bought it originally for child as it is designed for anyway. Recently started fostering kittens, and up went the cardboard to keep them in kitchen till litter-box-trained.6 months and still going strong. Fantastic product.—————————————————————————————————original review as follows:Super easy to mount and to use. Look no further, unless you utterly refuse to drill a few holes (10 total).I have only had the gate for a week or less, but I’m convinced it’s the best I have ever used and seen. There is no assembly required other than mounting the gate and making some minor adjustments by loosening and re tightening a screw or two.Only suggestion I might have is to mount the bracket that touches the floor, then put the gate on that mount, next clip the mount that goes on the upper corner then mark on the wall where you want it. This will be easier than the included paper mounting guides and it will allow you to make the gate super snug if so desired. This will also allow you to account for any potential imperfections in your floor…. or just use the included guides, whatever makes most sense to you.TIP 2: if you put this gate between a kitchen and carpeted area, I suggest putting the gate on the kitchen side so that if your children take food to the gated limit they will get messes on the hard floor and not the carpet.
