Toddleroo by North States - Deluxe Décor Safety Gate: Extra Wide Baby Gate - Adjustable 38.3 to 72 Inches Wide - 30 Inches Tall - Matte Bronze

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.

I bought one of these when I moved in 10 years ago and between kids and dogs I needed another one. fits my large opening, easy to install perfect for the price.

This gate is perfect! We have a unique entrance to the bottom of our stairs. It’s very wide and the mounting wall/pillar are not parallel. We needed something that could span the entire bottom width and adapt to the differing angles. We tried custom gate makers but they would only build something a few steps up. With a baby, we didn’t think that would be wise. We also tried one of those more fabric-style gates that pull closed. Those left too much of a gap underneath and because of the width of the stairs at the bottom, it was almost impossible to open and close one-handed and very difficult to do two-handed. This gate is amazing! We’ve had 2 of these for over a year and they work perfectly. Even if our stairs weren’t unique, I’d still recommend. The gate itself is made of sturdy metal. It’s easy to install. The opening is self-closing and latches with little effort. It’s very easy to operate one-handed but a baby or toddler wouldn’t be able to open it. The gate goes all the way to the floor and can be easily removed from the brackets and used to block other entryways or set aside if moving furniture up and down the stairs. I’ve used them on several occasions to corral the dogs in the kitchen. Also, because the gates are sectional and hinged, it means they can be adjusted to fit openings that are not symmetrical. Anyway, these are well worth the money!

I have the most disruptive but adorable rescue dogs. Because they are rescues, they don’t have the best manners and I tried puppy school but it didn’t work so in order to keep them out of spaces that they should not be in, like my kitchen and dining room, I use baby gates. With most homes, at least one doorway into the dining room or kitchen is larger than a standard hallway or doorway so this particular baby gate has been a lifesaver. It works so well that I got a second one to keep the dogs from bombarding visitors at the front door as well. The fact that the gate is easily detachable from the wall with just the slide of your thumb, makes it even more valuable to me. My landlord recently replaced my living room carpet and the baby gates prevented the dogs from getting in the way of the installers. These gates are sturdy, the adjustable lower bracket easily accommodates trim molding that is a different depth than the wall itself. They also look really nice. What has been another key feature is that there are adjustable joints that allow you to loosen and tighten and shape the gate to what you want. I wasn’t permitted to drill into the doorway trim into my dining room because this is a rental, so I used sticky back Velcro to attach the brackets to my doorway. Well that might not work for larger dogs or particularly mobile babies, it gets the job done with my two and offers an alternative for anyone who is also not permitted to drill into their space.

Extremely good quality and is a snug fit for my wall.. and solves my problem of my dogs messing up up sofa!
