I have heard from my Daughter in law and Son that they are enjoying the saftey that the gate has given them with the stairway that they are using the gate on. They are much more relieved with the safe environment for their soon to be 2 year old. Thank you for the quick delivery to them and thank you for the quality of the merchandise.

I love this gate! We have a spiral staircase that continues for 3 floors and it was almost impossible to block off on the second level. This gate has solved all our problems.

The door does not swing closed behind you, which I like. The bar across the bottom of the door is very low compared to other gates, about an inch. When the door is closed it is secure, much more so than our gate that swings shut behind you. The entire system spans 72″ and is very stable, even when my 1 year old shakes it.

This gate is a great solution for difficult areas and is well worth the money.

 “Decent gate but annoying door release and very narrow” 2010-06-13
By Allison M. Perkel (Boston)
Overall this appears to be a decent gate set – it easily configured to fit the area we needed to cordon off from our wee one. However I do have a few issues with the gate that are keeping me from being completely satisfied.

The biggest issue, to me, is the door release. Basically, you squeeze up on the handle and then pull the door up. It actually takes a little effort and the gate itself doesn’t feel that it’s truly sturdy enough for this abuse. Plus, did I mention it takes a lot of effort? It’s not as well designed as several of the other gates we’ve used.

The second point is just how narrow this gate is. I am not a large person and while I do fit through the opening I do worry that some of my larger friends may have a harder time of it. This width of a coach class airline seat, maybe a tad less, and you have idea on the width of the opening.

Their are some good points. The gate is easy to configure. When you have it set up, it feels like it’s locked into place (unlike a few other large area gates I’ve used). It does feel very secure. Additionally, it won’t be hard to take the gate off it’s wall moorings should I need to temporarily remove the gate. This is a great feature.

Overall this is an ok gate. It may be the best gate for versatile areas where traditional gates don’t fit. However if you can avoid this gate and go for something else – you might be better off looking around.

We purchased this 3 piece unit and 6 24″ extension to block off a portion of a room we call our office. It works perfectly and is sturdy as long as you angle the joints. Do not make it straight other wise it will be wobbally! My only complaint is the latch for the door is real hard to open because my hands aren’t that strong but thats fine cause then I just step over the gate. The latch for the door is why I give it 4 stars instead of 5.

The advertising for this gate made it seem like the right purchase for me, but I was wrong! First, the hinges on the gate which allow you to place the panels at an angle are not wonderful. If you’re a little too forceful, it can easily break. And if it breaks, you’re out of luck with installing this gate. Second, the mounting pieces for the wall are fixed position, at the top of every fence panel. The wall mounts are not the same as shown in the Amazon picture, which is in the middle of the panel! This became a problem for me because I have a window ledge that is lower than the wall mount location. Third, this Kidco gate is clearly terribly overpriced. Most people will have to buy extension gate panels to make this work and boy does the cost add up. If you have an irregular shaped area or room that needs a gate, I’d recommend that you look into the North States 3 in 1 Super Yard Gate. I bought this North States Gate with a total of 6 panels (12 feet) and it did not have any of the problems I just described. It was expensive, but cost less than the Kidco. Overall, it is sturdier and better made too. The North States Gate can be placed at various angles too just like the Kidco. North States Gate needs to amp up their advertising though because it isn’t quite clear that it can do the same as the Kidco Gate at a better price too.
