Summer Infant Custom Fit Walk-Thru Extra Wide Pet and Baby Gate, Fits Openings 65” - 87” (2 panels) or 87” - 141” (3 panels), 30” Tall, Install In-between Rooms or Doorways - Grey

The media could not be loaded. Aesthetically, it’s very nice and functionally it does the job. Our 1 year old is walking and trying to explore every square inch and this keeps him out of the kitchen/dining space.We used the 2 Panel config, maxed out and it worked perfectly for our 87” opening we were trying to gate.I’m seeing the other videos on here and I don’t think they know how the gate locks. It’s fairly simple to lock and effective. I will say, however, the spring loaded locking mechanism feel cheap and I’m assuming it will break before we’re done needing the gate.If you have trim you may need a spacer to mount it properly. One of the sides has no regard for your trim. Our trim was not tall enough for it to be of concern and we mounted the gate over the trim piece just fine.I opted not to use the plastic feet since I felt it was unnecessary in my case.All in all I’d recommend the gate in a 2 panel config. I don’t have a comment for the 3 panel config. There is a 3rd panel included in the package.

I have purchased 4 gates and made a huge rectangle playpen. Love it and it give smy son so much room to move around! It's sturdy, even when he is pulling on the bars next to the door. I know it isn't meant to put 4 gates together, but we did it and it works great. We started with 3 gates, but it doesn't give the 90 degree angles for a rectangle due to how the product is configured. We also had to take the wall attachment pieces off and use the extra pieces, but it was super easy to do and only took me 5 or 10 minutes. Easy to take apart and move for cleaning.

If you have a wide open space that you need to block off, this is a relatively well priced and well done gate but it has it's cons. I have an open space between my livingroom and my dining room. I started doing in-home daycare but occasionally dog sit for folks. I wanted to be able to cordon off my livingroom from the dining room so that when I wanted to have some dog free space or cordon off the kids if I had to go to the bathroom or the like, that I could do it and not be worried.So here's the great part! It expands. It expands a great deal and doesn't look bad when you don't expand it all the way. It's a soft mesh with solid fabric about the width of my hand where it meets bars. So you don't have to worry if a kid bumps into it. They won't hurt themselves. It comes with two supports for where the gate is so that when little feet stand on the pass through if the door is open, you generally won't have bowing, or more stress put on the wall attachments. You can tighten the joints so that they don't swing back and forth and stay in the configuration that you want. Do note, that you are going to have to tighten them every now and then.You can break it down to two parts instead of three, if your opening isn't //that// big. Which mine wasn't. Two fit perfectly, three would have meant that I would have to do some angling and I honestly didn't want to do that. There are templates for you to know where to put the wall anchors as if you use it with two panels vs three, there is a difference in placement on the one side.Placement. Here's the part that sucked and here's why it gets 4 instead of 5 stars. If you have baseboards on your wall, the tall ones, then the attachment points for the side where the gate is, is not going to work. So you can either find some way to jerry rig it, Set the gate a little higher - which has the drawbacks of the supports underneath not making contact with the floor - or return it. I didn't return it. What i'm intending to do now that I have a 3d printer is to actually try and print an extender so that I can get the thing flush with the ground or at least where the gate rests on the bottom supports. For now, they're just anchored into the wall a little higher and I make sure the kids don't step on it. Ask me how well THAT rule is adhered to when I'm not looking.While I like that the door swings either way, the locking mechanism is fairly simplistic and kids pick up on it very very fast. One 2 year old has already clued in despite our attempts to hide opening it in front of them. So it's use is more functional than safety in our case. I wish it had a latch more like our extra tall pet gate upstairs.Now, remember, I used only 2 panels. I have a third panel. The other way out of my livingroom is to a front hall with a closet so the space there is wider than a traditional gate even with an extender. But it's just right for that third panel! But wait... it didn't come with the stuff to anchor the third panel. So I'm left with a useless panel. Useless because after contacting summer infant to see if I could buy another set of attachments, I was told they don't sell them, and I am unable to do anything with that third panel. For now, it's sitting and waiting till I can figure out how to do it - the 3d printer will come in handy I'm sure - but when I do, I'll be anchoring it to a wall and getting full use out of my summer infant gate. So if you need a good gate with it's few -honestly, and only in my eyes - down points, get this. The colour also, BTW, is nice. My livingroom is a soft grey, a navy blue with red accents and it fits in/compliments with it's neutrality!

We've had this gate for just shy of 2 years spanning our livingroom to protect the reptile cage and TV from the little ones. It's held up great to tons of babies and toddlers. And the cats and dog. The latch on it is wearing down, as expected after 2 years of abuse but it's definitely done a great job and actually looks very nice. Highly recommend.

There was a template included for easy mounting layout. It's not totally necessary to use the template. The screw holes are accessible when the unit is assembled... so I held the mounting ends to the wall and spun the screws a little to mark the wall.The length adjustments are great. The (2) side panels both adjust with a sliding action.Each panel locks into the next, tool-free, so adjusting the geometry of the gate is easy too.The gate unlocks by sliding the obvious thumb slide, then you pick the swinging part up a little until you clear the recess. The gate opens in either direction.It does require a free hand to close the gate, since it has to be picked up and set in the recess, which might be the only negative if your hands are full.

This fit the larger sized opening that we needed to close up with easy gate access- so for that, it's been useful. But it isn't very sturdy. The middle hinge on the gate loosens nearly every day and has to be tightened, and it makes it wiggle back and forth instead of staying taut and straight. The netting is see-through so that's great, but pretty slack as well, and we wish it were more heavy duty with less slack. Overall, I'd give it about 3.5 stars. Useful, not a waste of money, but needing some design fixes and tweaked elements.
