very nice gate very sturdy good quality, would be good to keep small children or animals out or in an area. It didnt work for me I bought it to keep my ferrets contained but the gaps are to big (under gate and at opposite hinge side!) it does keep the dogs contained though! :)

I got this gate for my two Miniature Pinschers and I love it. I use it as a pressure mount in a doorway. I previously had one of those plastic ones with all the holes but I opted for this one not only for the look but for the safety. It is virtually impossible for the dogs to climb over it. It does get scratched very easily, but that doesnt bother me, I expected it with two small dogs scratching at it when they want out! Overall I was impressed with the design and how well made it is. I would recommend this to anyone with small dogs as long as you dont mind the scratches!

Love this gate - we have 2 blocking stairs and kitchen. One comment on installation - you MUST use the measure tape/ruler they provide to locate where the gate hinges are fastened to the wall, that's why the top will pop out (on an earlier review). Eyeballing it is not the way to fasten it. There are specific heights to install that make this gate safe.
Will be purchasing one for the top of the stairs as well, and have no doubt it will be fine. They provide good long screws, so as long as you have a banister or stud, you'll be fine.

It was really easy to install and I think it looks alot nicer than other gates. It is very easy to open and close.

We have the All Clear Swing Gate (hardware-mounted, not pressure-mounted) installed at the top of our basement stairs. Earlier this evening, I opened the lock, and as the gate swung out over the stairs, the top hinge snapped off the wall and the gate tipped away under my hand.
Fortunately, enough of my weight was behind me that I was able to correct my balance (just!) and did not fall headfirst down the stairs. But it was a close thing. An inch or a pound or a second either way and I -- or, god forbid, one of our children -- would certainly have been badly injured. While I was taking a photograph of the broken hinge, the gate itself, which was hanging precariously by its remaining hinge, fell off and tumbled down the stairs.
The gate has been in place for six weeks, but has only been in actual use for a tiny fraction of that time as we have been out of the house for five of those weeks. NB this was a product failure, not an installation fault. The screws are still firmly attached to the wall, along with what remains of the plastic flanges around the appropriate holes in the hinge.
I purchased the gate after reading the enthusiastic reviews here, but after my experience tonight, I would not recommend that anybody buy this gate, ever. (The review gives one star, because NO stars is not an option). And I would expect to see a product recall very soon.
