Product Description

Editorial Review
Although many pressure-mounted gates can provide a good barrier for kids, the safest and most reliable way to block their access to a room or stairwell is with a gate that mounts on a wall. Attaching directly to a wall or stairwell banister, this Safeway Gate combines sturdy steel construction with a simple design that makes it easy for an adult to open the gate with one hand. It takes a bit of work to assemble and mount the gate, but the included illustrated instructions for installation are clear and a total list of parts has also been included so that you can do an inventory before starting an installation. Measuring 30.5 inches tall, the gate can expand from 24.75 to 43.5 inches wide, and you can add an optional 24-inch extension (sold separately) to increase the width to 66 inches. --Chris Burns

The G20 is flexible enough to install at the top or bottom of stairs, or in doorways. View larger. |
Safety experts strongly recommend that the top of stairways be blocked by a permanently mounted gate -- rather than a pressure-mounted model -- for maximum protection. The KidCo Safeway G20 Gate offers both permanent mounting and an exclusive, unidirectional feature that keeps the gate from opening out over the stairs. It fits openings from 24-3/4 inches to 43-1/2 inches wide. If your doorway is wider, you can purchase an extension to accommodate openings 43-1/2 to 66 inches wide. And when you need to get the gate out of the way, it easily releases from the wall-mounted hardware. High Quality and Thoughtful Craftsmanship
With the KidCo ConfigureGate, form follows function. It meets or exceeds US Child Safety Standards, providing the maximum protection for your child, and with its Scandinavian-inspired design, the gate's clean-lined, minimalist style will blend handsomely into any décor. Like all KidCo gates, the ConfigureGate is constructed with fine, high-quality materials, including thicker virgin steel and certified non-toxic paint. The European factories are ISO 9000 and ISO 14001 certified.

Summary: Good engineering, poor manufacturing quality 2008-07-25
Comment: This was the only gate that I found that met the needs we had for a top and bottom of the stairs gate. I've been very happy with the functioning of the gate and its looks.
Based on other reviews I was very meticulous with following the instructions. I found the instructions to be descriptive enough with the inclusion of the pictures. It would have been nice if the pictures were on the same page as the instruction text. I imagine it was done that way so that the pictures didn't have to be reprinted for each language.
I really like the engineering of the gate. It's metal and there's good attention to detail on the mounting points. It works well and it's relatively simple. I chose to purchase the stair mounting kit and wall mounting kit to make it as sturdy as possible.
The problem was with the manufacturing quality and its what I've come to expect from products made in India. I ended up going back to the store (good thing I didn't purchase online), because one of the thread holes for the spindles wasn't threaded properly. I checked the one I got in the exchange and it had the same problem. Fortunately, the second one had a problem on the other gate piece, so I was able to make a complete workable kit between the two.
The gate being made in India was interesting considering that the wall mounting kit was made in the US and the stair mounting kit was made in China. I've seen this before where companies have manufacturing facilities all over the globe and they just cannot manage a consistent quality between them. Kidco better fix this.
It's hard to recommend this product for purchase, because of the quality problems; however, I love the gate and to me it was worth the hassle -- I probably wouldn't have thought so if I had to ship the kits back and forth.

Summary: Best pet / baby gate out there 2008-06-29
Comment: We went through 4 plastic gates in our kitchen doorway before we broke down and bought this one. All those plastic ones are too heavy for the hardware that comes with them and the hinges end up breaking! This lightweight, attractive, and easy to install gate keeps the baby and the dogs out of the kitchen whie letting the cats IN for access to their food & litterbox (I have it installed 4 1/2 inches up from the floor. The baby figured out how to crawl under it when it was 6 inches up so we had to lower it.) It is fantastic and I am back to Amazon to buy another for the top of the stairs. Easy for guests (and sleep-deprived parents) to figure out how to use.

Summary: Award Winning Gate! 2008-05-24
Comment: I researched top-of-stair gates for months and the thing I realized was that every gate got mixed reviews at best. Just when I thought I had made a decision, I would come across a review that slammed the product for one reason or another. Because of all of the mixed reviews that I came across, I purchased a membership to Consumer Reports. This gate was ranked # 2 gate for top of stairs. From reviews I read on-line, the gate that they gave the top award to had problems with the knob breaking in the locked position. In the end, I decided to go with this gate and I am so glad that I did! We purchased 2, 1 for the top and 1 for the bottom of our stairs. They've been installed for about a month and we are extremely pleased. We have metal railings so my Dad, who is a wood-worker, made some wooden surrounds for the balisters. The gates are super easy to open & close, even when I'm carrying my 1 year old daughter. No one in town had this gate, so we bought it site unseen. It is so refreshing to find a product that lived up to our high expectations.

Summary: Wonderful gate but poor instructions 2008-05-20
Comment: I was so excited to receive this gate but then my husband (who is very mechanically capable) had some difficulty putting the gate together. The directions were poorly written and were very vague. My wonderful husband ended up staring at the picture and started installing it from that. Now the gate is up, he did a terrific job and the gate is very sturdy. The directions were no help to us at all. But I love the gate and I wish they had this available for my first born, 5+ years ago.

Summary: DOn't SETTLE! Buy this gate from the start! 2008-04-01
Comment: I have gone through different gates with each kids. Now with my fourth kid, I bought this gate (the other gates didn't hold up, flimsy, didn't work well). THis gate is WONDERFUL! I wish I bought it with my first. It's easy to install, easy to open and close. With out the lock my 4 year old is totally fine opening/closing it. It's not bad looking. I have black wrought iron and wood stair case that is long and big, and it looks just fine. I bought the BLACK colored one instead of the white. They also have silver color. What makes this product even better is that you can buy extensions, and on one side of the gate instead of putting it against the wall, you can buy Y brackets to brace it against the spindles. I bought those at globalpets.com. This gate is also perfect different widths due to trim. I have thick wood molding that makes other gates uneven. THis gate you can just adjust them.
Anyways. I am raving about this gate, because it's fantastic. Well worth every penny!
