Summer Infant by Ingenuity The Doorway 36S Series Safety Pet and Baby Gate, 28"-36" Wide, 26" Tall, Pressure or Hardware Mounted, Install Wall to Wall in Doorway or Stairway - Oak Wood and Metal

I had no problem installing this gate nor did I experience the "faulty gap" issues so many have where the gate would latch to the supports. Its actually supposed to come like that and warns you this does not make the gate faulty but is necessary for proper insulation and when gate is properly installed the gap disappears. We needed a gate that would spam 56 inches to keep a large new puppy out of the hallway where the kids rooms were to stop him from carrying off their toys as his. We ordered the gate and fitted it in place picking the extensions need to fit the 56" span. Once we knew where the pressure rings would go we used the drywall installation instructions to mount the holders in the wall for extra sturdiness. I think we could have simply used the adhesive attachments but puppy will grow to over 100 pounds so we wanted the extra hold (hopefully before then he will learn what toys are his and that he cannot help himself to others toys). This is where its important to note: until your gate is fully installed and you tighten it in for the final installation you will have a gap where the door would normally latch and the door appears off center. Once fully installed and mounted properly and tightened into place you will see, as you tighten the gate at the wall, the gap slowly goes away and door then is on center, and teh latch will work correctly. Every gate will come with that gab, which allows for the correct pressure installation, so seeing a gab and sending the gate back for a replacement is going to get you a gate with the same gap. This gate, installed as directed, is the sturdiest gate I have ever purchased, especially one that has to span such a width. Its also well made and looks very nice with the wood and metal, can actually look more like furniture than a barrier. I definitely would recommend this as a gate that would be safely used at the top of the stairs to prevent falls, for adults as well as children. Its also tall enough that its not going to be jumped over even by a very large dog (horse could probbaly do it through) unless its was in a hallway or area where the animal had 100 yards to run before leaping over. Even my cat, wise in the way of baby and pet gates, found that vaulting over it was not as easy as it had been in the past with other gates.

The West End Extra Wide Baby Gate has completely exceeded our expectations in every possible way. We had a very unusual, extra-long space to cover, and this was one of the only gates we found that not only fit perfectly but also felt solid and secure once installed. Protecting the staircase is absolutely the most important job in our home, and this gate gives us full confidence. It doesn’t just guard—it plays both offense and defense against our three very determined Australian Shepherds, and it has been flawless in doing so. The functionality is spot-on. We measured carefully beforehand and the fit could not be better. The extra-wide design gives us peace of mind, and the automatic close feature is a detail that deserves more attention—it’s incredibly practical when managing both a child and dogs. Even better, at a 90° angle the gate remains open, which is perfect for us because our dogs need daytime access to the doggy door, their water, and their favorite couch. That thoughtful balance between automatic security and manual flexibility makes all the difference. Now, the looks: this gate is in a league of its own. We own five baby gates around the house for various spaces, most of them more budget-friendly, but none come close to this one in terms of design. For such a high-traffic area, the West End Extra Wide Baby Gate doesn’t just blend in—it elevates the space. The wood and metal aesthetic perfectly matches our home décor, giving it the look of a stylish piece of furniture rather than a utilitarian barrier. Honestly, it looks far superior to any gate we’ve ever owned or even seen. In short, we are completely blown away. This gate combines superior function, security, and design into one package. For anyone with an unusually wide space, energetic dogs, or the need to secure stairs with absolute confidence, this is the baby gate to get.

Purchased as baby gate to block our 14mo. old toddler from a 40"+ opening to our kitchen. Arrived on time, included extensions for wider openings, options for screw or tension mounting, metal/ wood esthetic is perfect for our contemporary style town home. Installation is easy, metal is heavy and sturdy. wood swinging door is light weight, plastic accessory & mechanism for closure is not as secure compared to the safety 1st gate we also use. Tension has to be adjusted perfectly to operate smoothly & many attempts were made until successful. it feels over time it the plastic closure may fail, so it's almost perfect. the gate is essential for us now and even with those concerns we're satisfied with the product and have no regrets.

Great baby gate. We’ve bought this brand and style for all our kids as babies. BUT the bigger you have to make the gate. The flimsier and less sturdy it becomes. Installation is easy to put in an entry or doorway. I’ve read reviews on people having issues with the door opening. But if it’s installed correctly, the door should be easier to open.

This was a great purchase! Installation was easy. You have the option of whether to use screws or not which was great because I didn’t want to put holes in the wall. There WILL be a gap between the door and other side where it is supposed to latch UNTIL it has been positioned and tightened properly on both ends. The latch is most likely NOT broken. Both prongs are not supposed to open when sliding latch open. You have to pull up on the door while engaging the latch and swing forward or back. I’ve had the gate for about a month now with a 25 lb puppy jumping up against it and a 10 lb cat kicking off and jumping over it every day. So far has proven to be sturdy. Hope this helps!

I use this gate to block off my stairway for my little dog. It works perfectly. Has an automatic spring so the gate easily opens and stays open until you close it. Perfect for when you are carrying stuff up and down the stairs. It looks great. Quality product! Easy to install too.

Funciona muy bien ya no hay destrozos en la habitacion mientras estamos ausentes

Strong, sturdy, easy to install, looks good, has additional locking option, so a lovely Gate altogether, despite the high asking price. Definitely worth it!

After the first gate failed, we bought this as a gift for my first grandson. This gate easily anchors to the wall and is very sturdy. The kids are happy with it attached right to the wall, and are pleased with how nice it looks.

Buen producto y funcional.
