So First Years designed the next best thing -- a safety gate that doesn't require any hands at all! But even though it's simple for an adult to just press on the pedal and walk through, it's too difficult for a baby. The gate fits all standard doorways 29" to 34" wide, and, with use of the Gate Extension Kit (sold separately) will also fit other openings up to 44" wide. The pressure-mounted design won't damage walls or doorways. An audible click lets you know the gate has locked. | | | Features: | |
• Foot-pedal operated
• Gate swings open in both directions
• Fits all standard doorways 29" to 34" wide, and will fit openings up to 44" wide with Gate Extension Kit
• Pressure-mounted design that won't mar walls or doorways

 the best gateFeb 06, 2010
This is the best gate. I first got "Summer Infant Sure and Secure Extra Tall" because of some of the negative feedbacks.
But when I needed another door gate, I took a chance with so many positive feedbacks.
and... yes, I really like this gate. If you know how to install properly, it should be pretty firm gate.
The other gate is little hard to open for my wife and mom.
But this is way to go!!!
 Keeps our dogs safeFeb 01, 2010
This gate helps keep our dogs safe from charging out the front door when company comes. It is sturdy and easily moveable. We don't have the knee knocker option but I think it would be a great addition.I always know where the dogs are and it really helped during puppy training my french bulldog puppies recently.
Quality GateFeb 01, 2010
My wife and I needed a quality gate that not only would block the passage of dogs and children, but also be (semi)permanent and look OK in the house. We've had numerous wood gates that would either lean-up against a doorway, scratch paint, or just get in the way. The swinging gate on this gate makes it easy to use and its design does not make it look like an eyesore in our house. Also, we have a 70-lbs black lab and a 60-lbs lab mix. Both dogs are known to jump, but they have not been able to clear this gate - much to our delight. And, I'm sure that when the kids start to walk/crawl, they will be worth their weight in gold in keeping them safe. We like this gate so much that we intend to buy one of two more for other areas of the home.
Mostly works to contain our dogsFeb 01, 2010
We bought this gate to keep our dogs out of our living room after the dog with separation anxiety chewed through a more attractive wooden gate. We use the gate in an archway with French doors, keeping one door closed and mounting the gate between the edge of that door and the door frame. The main problem we have had is that the gate tends to come loose over time; this may be because we have it mounted between a door and a frame. We have discovered that it actually stays put better if it is installed so that it latches only at the bottom. Also our dog learned to loosen one bottom screw when we are gone; we now place our carpeted cat tree in front of that screw when we go out.
The wrench used for tightening the installation screws is plastic, and ours broke after several months. I visited The First Years Web site at [...] and e-mailed customer service. In about ten days I received not one but two replacement wrenches free of charge, which I really appreciated.
This is not a perfect gate, but for the most part it is meeting our needs.
It's working for us!Jan 27, 2010
The first few hours, the 5 year old had difficulty getting it open. Then he mastered it. The 3 year old couldn't get it open herself for a week. Now she can IF she jumps up and down on the foot pedal. (She weighs 30 pounds) The child that we need it for is 17 months old and 22 pounds. She cannot get it open. Loving it!
