Babelio 29-48" No Bottom Bar Baby Gate Extra Wide, Hardware Mount Dog Gate for The House, Stairs and Doorways, Safety Pet Gates with Large Walk Thru Door, Black

This Babelio gate is a really nice solution for keeping pets or little ones contained without putting a traditional bottom bar across the doorway. The no-bottom-bar design makes walking through much easier, especially in a busy hallway or doorway where a threshold could become a trip hazard. It adjusts from 29.7 to 46.5 inches wide, so it can accommodate a pretty wide range of openings. The auto-close feature is one of my favorite things about this style of gate. You can walk through without having to remember to close it every time, while the stay-open function is convenient when you're moving back and forth frequently. The hardware-mounted installation and steel construction also give it a much more secure feel than a lightweight pressure-mounted gate. The combination of the wide opening, no bottom bar, automatic closing, and sturdy construction makes this a really practical gate. It looks clean, works well for both pets and children, and the wide adjustment range makes it much more versatile than a standard gate.

I ordered 2 of these gate with our first child for the top and bottom of the stairs. If installed correctly they work great! You don’t have to worry about a bottom bar to accidentally trip on going down and easy going up the stairs. Later we ordered a 3rd. During a move / remodel we misplaced the hardware to setup the gate. I reached out to Babelio and explained the situation and they were extremely responsive and helpful in finding a solution. Definitely would recommend!

I have two of these, they are very study and easy to use for adults while still being challenging to open for kids. On top of that, when we experienced an issue with one of the gates 2 years later, and contacted the company for assistance, their support team was excellent. They responded promptly and got us a solution! Would definitely recommend.

We're using these gates for pets, not children, so I didn't bother to install the bottom of the two latch receivers/brackets. This makes installation easier and faster, and when you use the gate, you don't have to life it - you can just pull back on the latch and it swings open. If you have children you'll want both brackets for safety. This is a nice product at a good price. I like that its width is adjustable without installing "expansion" sections - you just slide it to width and four set-screws make that permanent. (Plastic connectors between expansion sections broke on our old gate, which is why we bought these.) I also like that it has a self-close feature, but if you open it all the way, it has a recess in the hinge that holds it open. That's nice. The only thing I don't like so far is the latch is RIGHT against the edge of the gate, where it latches to the wall. If you have big fingers it can be a little awkward activating it - other gates have a button or latch an inch or so from the edge, which is easier to operate. A minor detail but worth noting.

Easy installation and a perfect fit. Keeps that puppy in his place for now. 🐶
