Product Description
The Simple and Secure Stair Gate is designed to swing open easily -- without pinching -- and closes securely with a "click" sound to assure you it is locked. The push-and-turn lock is easy for an adult to open, but too difficult for a child under the age of two. Hardware-mounted to meet stairwell safety standards, this gate features safety-spaced, coated metal bars that create a sturdy barrier to protect your little ones. Adjustment slots allow you to customize the width between 29.5 and 44 inches.

Summary: Love it! 2008-05-24
Comment: We bought this gate for the top of our stairs about three months ago when our daughter started crawling. It was some work to get it installed, but our door/wall/stair layout is a bit tricky. The only thing we ended up buying besides the gate itself is drywall anchors, since we weren't able to screw into a wall stud. We have never had a problem with it, every adult who's used it has been able to open it, and now that our daughter is walking around, it holds up just fine to the pulling up and shaking she gives it. It feels safe and secure and I would recommend it to any parent.

Summary: Good gate when it's not broken... 2008-03-14
Comment: We've had this gate for 3 years, worked perfectly until last week when the spring in the latch mechanism gate out. We bought another one because we don't want to reinstall something else on the banister and the wall at the top of the stairs.

Summary: Works well at first, but. . . 2008-01-20
Comment: We bought this gate three years ago when our first daughter was born. We didn't use it until she was crawling and moving around, so the gate has gotten about 2 1/2 years of steady, solid use. Originally, we found it very loud when it closed (we'd get her to sleep only to have her wake up when the gate closed behind us). We learned to close it quietly. About a month ago, however (we now have a second child who's just started crawling), the knob froze in the same way that others report. At first, it just locked in place, but we could manually turn the knob to make it lock, then the knob just stopped turning at all. (and with the height of this gate, it's difficult to climb over it and I won't do it while holding my younger daughter!).

Summary: great gate, even better for older homes 2007-11-06
Comment: Our initial purchase of a top-of-the-stair gate was returned to the manufacturer. Of course, we always do a lot of research for safety products so we were a little bummed out to have to start a new search. The problem was not with the gate but with our home. At 90 years old, we have tall, thick, elaborate baseboards. All the gates except for this one do not allow adjusting for the true inch difference from top mount and bottom mount. There was a review written by another person who has the same age house as we do and thank you for that review because it made our decision for this gate a no-brainer. We actually like the gate and it was pretty easy to install. The directions could have been written more simply but we figured it out in about 30 minutes. Very good gate and even better for older homes.

Summary: The lock will eventually break...in the locked position 2007-10-30
Comment: This gate was great for our stairs until the lock broke. We had it a little less than 2 years and just locked up one day in the closed position when I was trying to get up the stairs with my little guy. I called Learning Curve and they said they only warranty it for 1 year... we didn't even put it up until about 6 mos after we bought it! They told me there was nothing they can do to help me. The lock mechanism is riveted closed so can't even try to see if it can be fixed. This is obviously not just from my use as I see others had the same problem (see other reviews). Keep that in mind as you buy...
