Safety 1st SecureTech Metal Gate, Pressure Fit Safety Gate, Baby Gate for Stairs and Doors, for Widths 73 to 80 cm, extendable up to 136 cm with extensions sold separately, Metal White

I recently purchased this pressure-fitted stair gate, and I couldn’t be happier with its performance. Installation was incredibly easy, taking just minutes with the only tool needed being the included spanner. The pressure-fit mechanism holds the gate securely in place, making it a perfect choice for renters or anyone who wants a fuss-free setup.One of my favorite features is how smoothly it operates. The gate can be opened and closed with just one hand, which is a game-changer when juggling a toddler or carrying items up and down the stairs.The build quality is impressive - sturdy enough to withstand my active toddler’s attempts to climb or shake it. Even when he leans his full weight on it, the gate stays firmly in place, giving me peace of mind about his safety.It has green/red colour indicator near the latch to indicate that the gate has been fitted correctly and is secured in place. If you install the gate wrong, it will stay red until you rectify your mistake. The gate also has a little latch at the bottom so if you only want to open the gate in one direction, you can do so. Very handy feature.It’s high enough for my toddler who is 2 years old but, by the time he can climb over the gate… he shouldn’t really need it anymore anyway. Once that time arrives, the gate will be super easy to remove without damaging the wall and I will re-use it for my 2nd child.Price - I think it’s very fairly priced. Cheaper gates are available however, I like the build quality so I was happy to pay the tiniest bit more for this gate.Overall, this stair gate is an excellent choice for busy parents looking for convenience and reliability. Highly recommended!

Bough from amazon warehouse and in perfect condition other than an open box and the zipties cut (did not affect how easy it was to install).I think a lot of people return these thinking they are bent out of the box - they are meant to be to ensure a tight fit! When you install them and screw them tight, the bent post then goes straight which is explained in the instructions, but perhaps not in the clearest way.Works fine as a stairgate but if it is even slightly out of level (which can be a bit tricky to get perfect) the gate will swing open/closed if unlocked. A bit more resistance on the gate hinge would be nice so it was less likely to swing about if not level but its a very minor issue especially as its sold as a basic stair gate.

I've been using the Baby Gate for stairs and doorways for about four months now, and overall, it's been a reliable addition to my home. One of its standout features is the ease of installation – no screws or drills are required. This not only makes it convenient but also ensures that it leaves no lasting marks or damage to the walls or door frames.The gate's aesthetic appeal is another positive aspect. It blends well with the surroundings and adds a touch of style to the designated area. This is a welcome change from many baby gates that can be visually intrusive.I opted to place the gate in the doorway leading to the stairs, and for the most part, it serves its purpose effectively. It provides a sturdy barrier that keeps my toddler from venturing up the stairs unsupervised, offering much-needed peace of mind.However, there is a notable drawback that should be considered. I wouldn't recommend using this gate at the top or bottom of stairs due to the design of the bottom rail, which could potentially pose a trip hazard. In my case, I placed it strategically to avoid this issue, but other parents need to be aware of this limitation.One minor inconvenience is that the gate tends to clang against the door when opened or closed. While it may be a small trade-off for the overall convenience, it's worth noting for those who prioritize a quieter solution.

The Safety 1st SecureTech Metal Child Gate is an excellent choice for anyone looking to secure areas of the home from curious toddlers—or, in my case, a lively miniature dachshund named Fudge who sees every open doorway as an open invitation to explore!This gate stands out for its thoughtfully designed safety features. The double-lock safety release system makes it extremely difficult for little hands (or paws) to open, offering peace of mind for parents and pet owners alike. A particularly clever addition is the SecureTech visual indicator, which provides a clear, color-coded signal: green means the gate is securely locked, and red indicates it’s not—a simple but highly effective safety touch.Another great feature is the gate's extra-wide passage, which makes walking through with laundry baskets, bags, or even just your morning coffee a breeze. It’s designed to open smoothly with one hand—simply press the button on the handle to open and give it a gentle push to close. The gate can swing open in one or both directions, depending on your mounting preference, adding to its overall convenience and adaptability.Installation couldn’t be easier. No tools, no drilling, and no hassle. The gate uses a pressure-mounted system, meaning you can set it up in minutes without leaving marks on your walls or doorframes. If you're installing it in a wider space, Safety 1st offers gate extensions (available in 7cm, 14cm, and 28cm sizes) that allow you to extend the gate to fit openings up to 136 cm. There’s also the Y-spindle accessory, ideal for securing the gate to stair banisters—again, no need to buy an entirely new gate if you're moving it to a new location.In conclusion, the Safety 1st SecureTech Metal Child Gate is a well-built, reliable, and versatile solution for childproofing your home—or keeping a small pet safely contained. It’s affordable, easy to install, and adaptable to a wide variety of spaces. Whether you're parenting a toddler or keeping tabs on a four-legged escape artist like Fudge, this gate delivers on all fronts.Highly recommended!
