Good Gate
By Mommy
I wanted a pressure mounted gate that would fit a 61 5/8" opening to contain my 17 month old. I have purchased and tried several different gates and I like this one the best. I have 2 and am ordering 1 more.Setting it up was easy- took only minutes. It is not different than any other pressure mounted gate with a door. You have to tighten the bottom and then tighten the top so that you leave only a small gap where the gate closes. The gate looks slightly croocked until it is installed.The one hand opening is a little ackward at first cause you have to push a lever back then pull the handle up but all the adults are now able to use 1 hand to open it. If the handle isn't latched when closed my daughter can open it but as long as we remember to latch it, it keeps her put and I believe it is challenging enough that it will be quite some time before she is able to physically open the gate. It does not auto latch or close so you have to be diligent about doing that but it is very secure once closed. I do have 1 gate that is auto close/lock and while my daughter hasn't pushed through it, I feel that it is a matter of time before she is able to push through it, not gonna happen with this gate.Most wide pressure mounted gates I have encountered only allow you to add 1 extension to each side of the gate so beware that you can't endlessly extend a gate to fit any opening. This gate is no different.The description says it will fit openings up to 58" but if you go to the Regalo website, they sell 24" extensions for $24.99 so if you get two of those you can actually fit a max opening of 82" (base gate extends up to 34").We did have all 3 extensions on one of our gates (you're not supposed to use more than 2) and it is sturdy enough that my daughter can't push through it but it does bow on one side where the two extensions are combined which makes getting it tight difficult and it wiggles when pulled. That's why the 24" extensions are nice so you don't have that problem.

So far so good.
By M. F. Williams
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/RGOP5YNTT99AW We got this gate to use between the living room and dining room of our apartment, which is a 58" span. We rent, and therefore needed a pressure mounted gate to fit the span -- drilling into the door frame was not an option. This gate seems to do the trick. Without locking it, the door is easily opened with one hand; with the lock it's a little harder to do so but still possible with some practice. My son has just started pulling himself up to standing a few weeks ago, and now can walk laterally using the gate as support. Thus far the gate is staying put despite his best attempts. We'll see if it holds up as he gets stronger and more determined.UPDATE: Yesterday, my son (now 11 months and starting to walk) demonstrated he can open the latch quite adeptly when it is not locked. With the lock engaged, he tries and tries, but ends up mad instead. So the lock may be sometimes hard to operate but it is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY with an older child. The pressure mounting has held despite his best efforts (he likes to hang from the top of the gate and try to scale it). The gate does move incrementally over time, so we've had to adjust it once or twice, but that's to be expected from a pressure mount.He has managed to get his foot stuck once or twice between the bars where they curve slightly near the bottom. Getting stuck just got him mad but not at all hurt. Still a 5 star gate!

Functional with some work
By Pamela C. Chesnas
We installed the gate using tension only. We specifically purchased this gate because we did not want to have to screw into the wall. We followed the instructions, however when the gate is tight enough to the walls to not slide, the door becomes too tight. We need both hands to open it. I prefer the Summer Infant door mechanism. I think perhaps if we had used the cups that screw into the wall, we wouldn't have had to make the tension so tight and it would have opened with one hand. That said, it functions like it needs to, keeping our little one out of the kitchen while I'm cooking.
