6-Bar Extension for Deluxe Décor Gate: 15 Inch Baby Gate Extension - Add Up to 6 Extenders - Matte Bronze

We bought this gate to contain our new whirlwind of a puppy, to a smaller section of the house while house training him. In the past we've used the tension kind of gate that you had to step over but that was kind of a pain. So glad we spent a little extra and got this one as it looks very nice, is sturdy and a good quality gate. It was pretty easy to install and was helpful that they provided measured templates that you can cut out and place against the wall to show where you need to put the screws in. I installed it in about 15 to 20 minutes taking my time. IMPORTANT NOTE: This gate will work perfectly if the area and two walls you are mounting it to do NOT have baseboards (or if your baseboard is very short - like an inch and a half). If you do have baseboards taller than that (like we do), you have 2 options, 1 - Cut the baseboard section out where the bottom mount will overlap. But that is a bit obtrusive and going to be a pain to repair when you decide to take the gate down. So the second option (which is the one I did), is to measure so that the bottom mount is just above/right on top of the baseboard, then measure from there to the top mount making sure the distance between mounts is still correct. When doing this, the bottom of the gate will no longer be flush with the floor. Our baseboards are only a couple of inches so it is still workable as the puppy can't fit under there (obviously). Also, you no longer have support of the floor across bottom of the gate now. So what I did to fix that was took a wooden dowel, cut two pieces to the size of the gap under each hinge point (there are only two), painted them black and then put one under each hinge so that it was a tension fit. Tip, cut the dowel just a hair long and then file it down to creep up on the right size. That sounds alot worse than it actually was and the 15 to 20 minute install did not include the wooden dowel fix. But at the end of the day, it is very sturdy, looks nice and works like a charm! We also like that it has a light spring on the gate to close it but if you open the gate all the way, it will stay open which is helpful on occassion.

Easy to install, easy to open. I like that it automatically closes behind you! But you can also open it all the way & it stays open. I like that you can flip it if you want to open the door the opposite way. Perfect height for toddlers/babies, and dogs who try to jump gates! Definitely worth the money, best gate we’ve purchased yet! Sturdy and good quality.

Works great! Looks great. Easy install.

BEST.GATE.EVER! This gate is SO TOUGH and versatile! I have two 95 lb labrador retrievers that I really need to keep out of my kitchen trash. This gate does that. I have a 6-ft opening to my kitchen on one side and a 9-ft opening on the other side so it's near impossible to gate. Because this connects to the walls, it's very strong. I did not want to have a permanent gate, for when the dogs are not here, or when they are allowed in the kitchen. But I'm very sick of cleaning up trash. So I bought this gate. HOWEVER, when I bought it, I did not realize that it's literally just adam and a lift to unhook the skate from either side at the wall. Because it folds into three, and maintains its its integrity and stiffness, by using a ratcheting angle, I can pick up one side and move it to the counter to keep them out of one area. I can unhook the other side and go the other direction and block them off at the railing! Eek! I'm so excited about this gate. Because that also means that I can just take it off completely for when we're having a party! I mean the clips will be on the wall but who cares? They are tiny. They are also sturdy instead of plastic like most of the other ones I've seen. I mean they are plastic but the part that counts is steel! Worth every penny, I might buy another one or two!

We purchased this gate to surround our fireplace hearth for baby-proofing purposes. We considered using hearth pads, but most of those still don't prevent little ones from touching the fireplace cover (and we also didn't like the way they look, but that's a personal preference thing!). Our mantle is 72" wide, so we needed to purchase four of the matching extensions in order to wrap the whole thing around the mantle and attach it to the wall. Wall mounting is very easy: the gate comes with four small attachments which you mount to the wall using screws. How you do this will depend, of course, on what surface your wall is; in our case we used some heavy-duty drywall anchors and screwed the mounts to those. If you are happen to have studs located where you want to put the mounts, so much the better. Two bits of advice regarding the wall mounting process: -- If you are able to screw the wall mounts into studs, I would highly advise using your own wood screws as the screws that come with products like this are notoriously cheap. And there's no point attaching this to the wall in the first place if it's not going to be secure, right? -- The gate comes with a template you can use to mark the locations of the wall mounts, but I would suggest a different approach: First attach the lower mount to the wall, then attach the gate to the lower mount, and then connect the upper mount to the gate and mark its location. The reason I suggest this method is that the gate locks into the upper mount, so you want to be sure it is not too high or low relative to the gate. If it is too low, the gate will attach over it but won't lock into place. If you measure it yourself you can be sure it will work. Here's what we like about this gate: 1) It looks great! We purchased the brown/bronze color and it matches the look of our fireplace perfectly. It's heavy enough to be sturdy but not so heavy as to be cumbersome to position. Frankly, I'm delighted with how sturdy it is for its weight. 2) Flexibility in positioning: The "joints" where each of the side pieces attaches to the central gate can be bent to most any useful angle. In our case we have four extra attachments (see photos), so we were able to bend the entire unit around the edges of our mantle. Once you position all thd pieces the way you want them, you twist the connecting rod at each joint to lock all the pieces in place. If you want to change any of the angles, just loosen the connecting rod, make the change, and re-tighten the rod. Easy! 3) If you want to remove the gate entirely from the wall, you simply disconnect it from the wall mounts. The wall mounts are small and not really an eyesore, so we'll leave them in place until we are permanently past the baby-proofing years. A few things I'm not as happy about: 1) I would like to see a more complex unlocking mechanism for the gate itself: the door opens relatively easily by simply pushing a button at the top of the gate to unlock it. For a baby gate, this is TOO easy; I don't think it would take long for a toddler to figure out how to unlock it. Frankly, given how well made this product seems overall I'm surprised that the unlocking process is so simple. Many baby-proofing gates require a two-step process to unlock them (i.e. "lift this and push that"); this one only requires pushing a button. Because we are using this as a fireplace guard, we don't really need to open the gate, so I may secure it shut semi-permanently with plastic ties or something. For this reason, though, I would NOT recommend this gate between rooms or in any location where people would need to pass through it. This severely limits the usefulness of this gate, in my opinion. 2) We received a defective product: As shown in one of the photos, the small metal piece that locks one side of the gate to its wall mount is misshaped, preventing it from locking securely to the mount. Normally to disconnect the gate from the wall mount you have to press a spring-loaded switch to release it, but because of this defective part our gate can be lifted off one of the mounts without pressing the switch, even after it has audibly clicked into place. All in all, we are very satisfied with this as a fireplace guard because I can rig it so it doesn't open, but because the gate unlocking mechanism is too easy for a toddler to figure out I would NOT recommend this if people need to pass through it.

Extremely good quality and is a snug fit for my wall.. and solves my problem of my dogs messing up up sofa!
