We purchased 2 of these gates. Each failed after about 18 months of fairly frequent use. We had the same issue that other customers have documented where the knobs froze. I will say that the gate (not the latching mechanism) is well built and sturdy. However, the latching mechanism/knob isn't the easiest to use and tends to fail over time. I would buy a different gate.

As a replacement for the first one, whose lock froze - apparently a widely reported problem w/ this particular gate. So why give it 5 stars, and why replace the broken gate w/ the same gate? We received the first gate almost exactly 5 years ago as a shower gift, installed it roughly 4 years ago, and it finally broke about 4 days ago - after 4 years of intensive, daily use. Installation is a snap, the gate is very sturdy and secure, and if the second gate lasts as long as the first I'll be extremely satisfied.

We got our gate about 5 years ago. We used it about a year with our second child. Well our third is now crawling and we just put it up again. After 3 days up our lock froze in the stuck position. I was about to buy the exact same gate since I was pretty happy with it before and I thought the age was the problem until I read the reviews. This is a problem that needs to be fixed by the manufacture. I'll be looking for a new gate now!
