Good Product overall
I bought this gate for my dogs, in order to keep them separated while I am out. I read all the reviews first, and I was a bit concerned it would be hard to open and it may not be worth buying. The door may be a little uneasy to open, but this is the point, so whatever or whoever you do not want to open does not do it easily. You have to press the button and slide it a bit to open, and I never found much problem doing so (if you do, maybe while assembling, you did put too much pressure and make the door way too close to the gate)

My door is a little small, though, and the gate makes it even narrower. So, accidents bumping into the metal edges were frequent in the beggining (I guess this is more my fault than the product`s).

It is better (in my opinion) than the pedal (foot) one (i used it for a while), because it is set agains the wall, and the pressure keeps the door closed and adjusted. The pedal one always came out, because it doesnt have such system.

Dont know if it would be that great for baby's parents, but I love it for my pooches.

Sturdy, but not always easy to open!
After much research and reading many reviews, my husband and I bought 2 of these gates (for our kitchen doorway and the bottom of our stairs), and we are a bit disappointed. Yes, the gate is easy to install, and it works beautifully with our old-fashioned carved wookwork because it adjusts in all four corners. Yes, it is sturdy as can be, and I never worry when my 9 month old crawls over to it, pulls on it to stand and starts rattling it like a gorilla trying to escape its cage. However, opening the gate isn't always easy. You have to press 2 buttons (one on each side of the handle), and slide it back before the gate will swing (and you can swing it in or out). Many times I have pressed the buttons and struggled with sliding it while holding my daughter. I then have to bend down and use both hands to slide it. When it does open, it's a bit noisy. It makes a metal ping when you release the buttons/handle upon opening and closing it. I also don't like how thick the bottom bar is. It sits on the floor, but sticks up 1 1/2 inches. I'm always afraid I'm going to trip over it, or worse yet, that my mother-in-law will trip, especially with the gate at the bottom of my stairs (it is awkward footing). I wish they had a flatter bottom bar, or at least a curved one, or a rubber curved piece that fit over the bar... just something that didn't catch my foot so easily.
We also have 2 dogs -- one is part husky and shepherd (about 55 lbs.), and the other is a beagle mix (about 20 lbs.). The gate works well for them too, even when the larger dog stands up with her front paws on it. They both used to climb the cheap gate we got for them (before having the baby).

A much better locking system
This was our second gate for our son. The first one was similar but had a lever locking system. My son in a month could figure out how to open the lock.
This locking device is much better as it requires two fingers and a slide mechanism. In short my son needs to grow up atleast 4-5 years to open this gate :). He is 16 months now.
This gate is very easy to install as well.

poor product
I PURCHASED ON OF THESE GATE TO SECTION OFF A ROOM FOR MY PUPPY. THESE GATES DO NOT STAY ADJUSTED. IF YOU DO GET THEM TO STAY THE GATE WON'T OPEN. I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS TO ANYONE.
REGRETING MY PURCHASE,J. WAY

Does it's Job
This gate has taken a beating from my just walking 1 year old, to my "loco" 6 year old (both boys) the slider gets a tad stuck after so much going through it while it's closed, but I love that it's metal and the way the gate is attatched if one of the kids is close to the door u can't pinch their fingers. I love it!
