47.85" Wide Easy Swing & Lock Baby Gate - Series 2: Extra Security Safety Latch. Hardware Mount. Fits Openings 28.68" - 47.85" Wide (31" Tall, Matte Bronze)

It needs a little pull up to open and a smack for the bottom to lock, but it is sturdy and safe and thats what matters.

Very sturdy, easy to install. Cannot slip like the gates that use friction to hold them in place. We use it to keep a 95 year old from falling down the basement steps - she can lean on it with no problem, and the latch locks keep it from being opened inadvertantly.

We love the stability and ease of use! The design fits in well with our home and most importantly, it does its job well! I can open the gate while holding our child with ease. He can also pull up on it and I do not worry about the gate giving way as we have attached it to the wall.

Material bueno. Piezas completas; la primera vez se devolvió por qué no venían las piezas de instalación y en esta ocasión llegó completo y material resistente.

Ok

I purchased two North States 47.85" Easy Swing & Lock Baby Gates. Both are being used as pet gates but could also end up being used as baby/toddler gates for the grandchildren when they visit. These were relatively easy to install. It will help to have some DIY experience. You will need at least a drill and Phillips screwdriver. A 2 foot level will help to make sure the hinges and latches are plumb (vertically aligned). The directions are easy to follow and it comes with a template to tape to the wall so you can drill your holes in the correct locations. All required hardware was included. You just need a few tools and some common sense.I mounted one gate in a doorway that had no molding and another hallway that did have 3/4 inch wide moldings.Yes, you can mount this if you have floor moldings. And yes, it does fit the width specified in the description. My one door opening was 47 1/4 inch wide. Please ignore the comments that say otherwise. Either these people are too incompetent to install such an easy gate or are just lying to post a bad rating.For the record, I did read the directions but I did not follow them or use the templates. So these really are not difficult to install. I mounted a lower hinge first and then hung the gate with the end propped on a small drill box I had for balance. I then placed the second upper hinge with the top gate hinge attached and marked my drill holes using one of the wood screws attached. I then removed the gate and drilled a hole where the mark was. FOR SAFETY OF YOUR CHILD AND PET, YOU MUST DRILL INTO AND SCREW INTO SOLID WOOD; NOT JUST DRYWALL! In my one doorway, I have 1/2 inch drywall but behind that are 2x4 studs. I chose to replace the 1.5 inch wood screws with 2.5 inch drywall screws to get more depth into solid wood. I chose drywall screws because they had a similar color to the bronze screws to match the gate color.Oh, by the way, the bronze is a lot closer to black than bronze. But they look great. I like the look much more than white. Kind of classy looking. They are very well built also, Very sturdy when installed correctly. Again ignore the comments from people who clearly have no clue how to install something this simple to install. Some people just need to hire a handyman or professional. Don't risk your child or pet's life if you have no clue what you are doing. And don't leave dumb reviews that are inaccurate.Anyway, back to the installation tips. Once the hinges are installed, I moved to the upper latch. Like with the hinges, I placed the upper latch in position connected to the metal stud that screws into the gate horizontally. Find the correct position and mark the two holes with a screw or awl. Then drill your holes and screw the screws into the latch. Do the same for the lower latch and you are done.Installation in my hallway was a little trickier for several reasons. Because of a bathroom door, I need to install the second gate in the middle of our hallway. I had to find a verticle stud using a stud finder so that the gate hinges were installed into solid wood. Again I used 2.5 inch drywall screws. You may be able to find bronze or black wood screws online. The big orange box and blue box stores did not have any in stock. Drywall screws are a little more brittle than wood screws but should be fine in this installation. Be careful not to strip the screw head off the shank if you use an electric/battery drill to drive your screws. Of course on the opposite side of the wall, there is no stud in the right location. So I chose to use nylon EZ Ancor (not a type) Drywall Anchors. These are a step up from your typical plastic anchors that people use to hang pictures. ...not a good choice in this type of installation. I am hoping my dog will not force the gate in any way. If she does, I will have to install a wood batten strip attached to two studs to support the latches. So far, so good. She is not trying to jump on the gates at all. She does tend to jump on people. Hey, it's a new rescue dog; I have to train her. :-)The gate is entirely metal. The hinges and latches are made of a high grade plastic material. The plastic hinges will wear fine. As others have noted, I also have some concern with the latches. They should last for a while. It is important to make sure both latches are vertically aligned so that both grasp the horizontal metal studs at the top and bottom of the gate when you close the gate. You will need to close the gate firmly with a good swing to get them to close and lock properly. IF you try to pull the gate closed gently, they likely will not engage completely. I like that we can swing the gates in either direction. I also found the spring inside two of the latches were quite firm and would not let the stud engage the latch completely. But after swinging the gate closed several times forcibly, the latches engaged every time reliably. But you should always check for safety reasons that they are fully engaged.IF YOU ARE INSTALLING THIS GATE OR ANY GATE AT THE TOP OF STAIRS, PLEASE INSTALL THE STAIR GUARD SO THAT THE GATE DOES NOT OPEN OVER THE STAIRS. AGAIN, THAT IS TO PREVENT YOUR TODDLER FROM INADVERTENTLY OPENING THE GATE AND TUMBLING DOWN THE STAIRS. A gate is not a replacement for parental supervision.After using these gates for several days, my wife and I are very pleased with the function and looks of these gates. We have also had several guests who have noted how they look so nice and how easy they are to open and close. I think you will be very happy if you purchase this gate.My only complaint, I wish the company had a taller version for the 47 inch wide opening. These are about 29 inches tall and add a couple inches based on where I attached the hinges and latches. Remember if you have a baby or toddler, be careful not to leave too much space at the bottom for the child to slide under or get stuck under the gate.
