Tough and reliable!
After having this gate for several weeks containing my two dogs, I can say it’s taken a beating and still works just fine. My cat jumps on it and launches onto the dining room table and it hasn’t imploded yet! The installation takes a few minutes and a Phillips screw driver. This will expand to 42.5 inches so with the standard doorway being 36 inches it will fit all but the widest entries. It’ll fit down to a twenty-five-inch door. The gate pivots in two hinges and latches on the opposing side with a very easy to operate catch. Works easily with one hand and latches back with a simple push. It has a stop so it won’t just swing open in the opposite direction! Very handy when carrying two full dog dishes or an infant. The latch makes a distinct click so you will be assured it has locked, no more second guessing. The gate removes from the wall simply and leaves the four wall mounts which are barely noticeable, protrude one quarter inch from wall. It comes down for parties and up again Monday to corral my dogs. The old “tension” style I had was a bear to expand just right. I adjusted this once using four Phillips screws and simply hang it in place, no guessing and no fuss and it looks classy! As a testament to the finishes durability I included a picture of how the shipping co delivered this gate, yet not a scratch on the paint or exposed latch, pretty awesome! Thanks Walmart, I’ve ordered a second for my screen porch steps.

    Best Gate ever
    This is our 2nd one we have bought to contain toddlers without too much adult trouble. Adjustable, nothing to trip over, sturdy, assembly is easy.

    Economical, but Not Ideal
    This gate is economical, easy to install, and serves its purpose. However, it's not the smoothest to open and close. We use it for the top of the stairs and I wish now I had splurged for a self-closing gate so the gate didn't get in the way so often. The gate's hinge has also popped off a few times (it's supposed to come off, but not by accident) from being a bit too forceful in opening the gate.

    Secure and Sturdy!
    I bought this gate for the safety of my 2 year old granddaughter. I like it very much! It took about 40 minutes to assemble but it was worth it. It's secure and sturdy blends in nicely with the decor. It's easy for an adult to open and close (but not the child) and it doesn't have a bar on the bottom so that eliminates adults tripping over it.

    Great pet gate
    So far it's working perfectly to keep my 100 german shepherd mix contained. He has tried to push on it and paw at it and it stays closed. Hopefully it continues to work perfectly. It was a little hard to install...I used the templates and marked the door frame where screws would go in. But once I had the brackets on I realized one side was higher than the other. Thankfully I just had to move the left side down a half an inch and it was perfect.

    Sturdy and elegant
    This gate was sent to me by the WalMart Spark Review Program. This gate wasn't too hard to get together because the directions were clear and easy to read. The gate itself is sturdy metal but not too heavy. I put it at the bottom of the stairway in my home. I love the fact that it has not bottom bar to trip over! Easy latch to open and close as well.

    Great Gate
    I received the Kidco Safeway Hardware Mount Gate from the Spark Reviewer program. I received the white gate. It also comes in black. I do not have any little ones; however, I do have a furchild that I have to keep from escaping from time to time. The gate was very easy to install. There were two metal pieces and there was a box that included all of the necessary screws that were needed to mount the gate. The gate is very light weight approximately 9 lbs. The installation took less than an hour. The instructions were easy to follow. The gate is very sturdy. It wasn't too heavy. Once the gate was installed, the gate was very easy to use. It is designed for easy removal as well. The gate has a directional feature that if installed over stairs will prevent the gate from swinging over stairs. It is tall enough to keep your little one from climbing over it unless you have a really active one. There were no issues with the gate. My furchild didn't too much care for it, but this will be used to prevent him escaping. He likes to periodically run out of the house when no one is looking.

    Baby gate
    As a mom of two little boys, I know a little bit about messes. I also am no stranger to accidents. As we do our best to avoid them, sometimes we need a little extra help. That's where the KidCo SafeWay Hardware mount gate comes in. When correctly installed, which was pretty simple, the gate is very easy to use and keeps my kids out of places they do not need to be. I love the fact it doesn't have a bar on bottom like some gates do, so there's no tripping hazard. Occasionally, especially late at night, the last thing you'll remember is to step over something you forget is there. As a busy mom, I appreciate one less thing to chance tripping over. The gate also mounts safely and securely, which puts my mind at ease. Another thing to add to the late night half asleep life of a mother, I enjoy that it's easy to open and close and you can do it one handed. As far as the installment goes, the instructions were quite simple and easy to understand, and my husband got it mounted and secure in roughly thirty minutes. I would definitely recommended this gate to my friends and family.

    This gate is great for pets add well as small chil
    When I had the opportunity to receive and review the KidCo Safeway Hardware Mount Gate, I thought that it would be ideal to use on my front porch to contain my two terriers. It does not state that it is for outdoor use, but, it doesn't say that it can't be used outdoors. My porch is covered, so, I thought it'd be ok. The gate is designed for children. But, can be used for smaller dogs, too. The gate part is made of steel and the hinges/closures are plastic with metal screws/hardware. I feel this gate is quite sturdy. I recommend the KidCo Safeway Hardware Mount Gate to contain small children and pets. However, there should be adult supervision, especially with children. If a child tried to climb the gate, I'm not sure how well the gate would hold up and if the child would be hurt. I gave the KidCo Safeway Hardware Mount Gate 4 stars instead of 5 because of the directions. When I tried to make sure I had all the parts, I found the parts lists did not tell you how many of each part was needed/included. Here's what I found. A-H, L-N, and P: you need one of each. I-J: 4 each. K: 8 each. “O": 2 each. Then, the pictures of the parts were not anywhere close to scale. So, when looking for part “O", the stop pin, I almost over looked it because, in reality, part “O" is very tiny. (See included picture). Finally, no where in the directions does it tell you to drill pilot holes. However, if you don't, you risk splitting wood. I do feel the KidCo Safeway Hardware Mount Gate is a sturdy and useful product and I recommend it. However, the directions need to be better.

    strong and safe
    This is an excellent product much better than others I have tried. We use it for the pets and the children. It is easy to open for adults, is very secure and the only gate I have found that works well at the top of stairs.Don't have to worry about falls anymore from staircase.The kids and pets can not knock it down which makes me very happy.

    Nice looking and sturdy
    KidCo Safeway Hardware Mount For many years, I have used a hardware mount gate to keep our dog in the kitchen as opposed to creating when out. I chose the KidCo Safeway gate because it claims to provide maximum safety and it has a nice clean look. It took me much longer than expected to install. I felt the instructions were a little backwards and although it came with cutout templates my first attempt was way off. There were not many steps with putting the gate together which was nice, the hardest part at least for me was matching both sides. The instructions seemed to be directed more for stair installation. In any case, once you have all the hinges screwed in and secured its easy from there. The gate does look nice and is very sturdy. It is easy to open and close however it would be nice if you could slide gate to the side if you did not need it to be closed all the time. This gates length is permanent unless you unscrew it. You are able to easily remove the gate and store away when not in use. The height is perfect for what I use it for. It fits openings of 24.75 – 42.5 inches and can easily be cleaned with soap and water or damp cloth.

    Gives You The Time To React
    The KidCo Safeway Hardware Mount Safety Gate is what I recommend for added safety and piece of mind for children or pets. It is designed with a heavy duty steel construction and the G2000 has a nice clean white finish so it should not interfere with your homes decor. This is hardware mount which means it is attached with screws to your frame and I find it is much more secure than my spring fitted gate. This gate is not intended to replace supervision but rather will slow or stop a child or pet ling enough to allow you to react accordingly while keeping them safe. The bars are right at 3 inches apart so it really will not stop say a cat. The gate can be temporarily removed with the locking tab on the lower hinge and then put back into place with ease. This gate also has a directional stop which is great. This is used in order to keep the gate from accidentally swinging out over the stairs. It is meant to be used at the top of the stairs but may also be used as a room divider or in a hallway. It is also adjustable from 24.75 inches to 42.5 inches. Brackets that mount in your door frame can be mounted at angles as well. Now if your child can climb I would find another solutions for safety sake. This gate is very strong but it can not replace supervision of course. Great product and I really like how well made and simple to use it is.
