BalanceFrom Easy Walk-Thru Baby and Pet Safety Gate with Hold-Open and Auto-Close – Adjustable Steel Barrier for Stairs, Doorways, and Hallways, No Drilling Installation

The media could not be loaded. It is a very nice gate. We got it to keep our 15 mo away from the kitchen area where we have doggy bowls.We chose this one because it had good reviews and it was the size we needed.It is a very sturdy gate. My child shakes it and it still stays in place without using any nails. In fact, we decided to not use the nails we found in the box and it works just fine for now.It opens both way. It is easy to open the lock. And the installation requires only few minutes. Recommend.Few clarification about some reviews I read about this product:-it fits a 30’’ wide space. That’s the space we had to cover and it fits. Not true it is too small.-it doesn’t miss any parts! People just do not read the instructions! In order to close the gate you need to install the screws on the 4 sides and tide them up until the parts latch together!

I bought two of these gates, and they were super easy to install, and they open and close very easily. I love the white color as they look very nice in my house. The height is great for not having to bend down to open and close. They feel very sturdy and function very well.

I bought this gate because I have a large German Shepherd and two cats. It’s been a game changer in helping my cats feel safe in their own area without being chased or bothered.The gate is sturdy, easy to install, and blends nicely with my home. The latch is strong and secure, but still easy for me to open with one hand. It fits perfectly in a standard doorway and doesn’t damage the wall.I love that it helps create peaceful separation in the house without feeling like a barrier.I’ve added a few photos to show how it looks in place. Totally worth it if you’re managing pets with different personalities!

Easy install, seems very sturdy. 36" seems to be perfect for my 40lb staffy that can clear smaller gates. The gate operates easily and I like that it can be propped open when we want the space accessible. I would have given it 5 stars but the blemish on the top of the gate in the plastic seems to be a common issue with the white gates.

I needed dog gates to segment my home to minimize areas to monitor for dog mess during the housebreak phase of my Toy Fox Terrier Rocky (pictured). Local pet stores were a joke...they all wanted $100+ for even the most minimalistic gate, and many were just not-so-cheap, but "cheap" plastic. Some were wood. I found this mostly metal gate on Amazon and risked buying two for less cost than single instances of other gates.The features its ad documents are absolutely true. There is no assembly required except to slide four width adjusting screw pads into four holes...top and bottom left and right. Hand tightening is all that is required to install in a doorway, though a level to ensure that the gate is plumb should guarantee a proper auto-closure. The gate does remain open when opened to somewhat less than 90 degrees (pictured) and does swing shut automatically at lower angles.This gate is a must-buy steal!!There are four additional plastic caps that can be screwed to the door frame to keep the pressure pads from slipping. They recommend their use at stair tops, but I found they can help one enamel-painted door frames, as an accidental kick to the gate in passing can dislodge it without them.The multi-step opening procedure (slide handle, lift door, swing open) is easier than it sounds, and may outsmart the most ingenious child, and definitely my dog!This gate is inexpensive in comparison, very sturdy, and fits a range of common-width doorways without the need for the additional optional extensions.July 24, 2024 Customer Service update...One of the multiple gates I ordered was received with a small defect. One thumb wheel used to tighten one of the four corners during installation was cracked and spun around the nut it contained. I requested the small replacement part. For whatever reason, the company was unable to send just the broken part, so they shipped an entire replacement gate without the need to return the original. Now that is a company that stands behind their product!! So, I now effectively have my own set of replacement parts should anything else go wrong with my gates. Thanks, Topek, Inc.

This baby gate is super sturdy and works great for both kids and pets. It was easy to install and once you get the hang of it, it’s simple to use. It was a little tricky to open at first since you have to pull up and to the right, but now it’s no problem. I liked it so much I recommended it to my family and they ended up getting one too. The only downside it it is a little noisy. Great quality and really reliable.
