This is one of the worst products i've ever seen! I just completed installing it. I followed the directions and am amazed at how poorly this was manufactured. Two of the screws supplied broke off in the wall and will probably never come out again and another one has been completely stripped by my screwdirver. I can only imagine what would happen if I used a drill to try and drive the screws into the wall. I can't believe such weak screws were provided. Also, the eye screws are coming apart. This gate probably won't last 30 days. DO NOT BUY THIS GATE!

I have used this gate for 9 months with no major problems. Has a wide opening gate. Easy to remove when not needed (just pull up and out). Like any hard mount gates, you should get longer, better screws for installing. I saw the problem with the foot sliding even on my carpet as it merely "floats" under the gate. Solved this by measuring where the base might lift the gate just a bit and screwing in place to the gate - no slipping! Even with our toddler standing on bottom rail and bouncing on it. You should be handy for this one and it will serve you well. Best wide gate for the price.

For the money, it has done it's job through two kids. Okay, three did the job through two kids. Looking back on how much we've spent replacing it because of a broken panel (fastener failed when our 1st daughter was about 18 months old--she was quite the "shaker") and a broken latch (again, the first daughter, but now she's 3, and we'll be replacing it again because of our 2nd 18 month daughter), I'm amazed I'm willing to keep replacing it. Alas, there isn't another out there for the width I need! If there is a better door out there that will span 60" without falling in and lets me walk through rather than over, I'd love to buy it! In the meantime, it's not the strongest, so be prepared to buy a few of them, but they do the job well. If it was made of steel, it would be absolutely perfect!
