Was unimpressed with this gate. Doesn't swing/close well and doesn't fit many spaces well...leaves little room for error...

This gate works GREAT! It was a little tricky to install, adjusting the pressure mounts took a while to adjust as our doorway was on the outside of the 33.5 in. Once mounted, it has been extremely sturdy and is easy to open one handed if you do it right. The opening is a bit narrow (17 in.) but it's ease of use and durability make up for it. I would not use this gate to move around to different spots around the house but works great in a permanent location (without permanent holes in the wall!).
It puts up with constant shaking and rattling from my 9 month old and has even deterred my 2 1/2 year old nephew who has figured out a way around or through every other gate (because he can't figure out that you have to push buttons on both sides and then slide the latch out at the same time).
The BE CAREFUL part was that on one occasion, my son was holding on and slipped. When he fell, his arm got wedged and stuck between the bottom, outside bars where it tappers together. He didn't get hurt but wasn't coordinated enough to free himself.

When I first installed the gate, the pressure from the gate was too intense and punched a hole in my wall! Make sure that you install on a solid stud, or wall surface. The gate works decently for me now, but I had to purchase 4 square pieces of metal and put them between my wall and each of the pressure points on the gate. This seemed to disburse some of the pressure and prevent holes.

Love this gate, do wish it had addition sides for purchase, so I could use it in other areas.
Love the fact that it's a pressure gate, so no holes in the wall.
Though you must have either walls, or square banister rails that aline evenly for it to work properly.
Locking feature is difficult for children to open, but not for adults. As far as baby/pet gates do it is also one of the more attractive. Sturdy metal throughout.

Just got 2 of these and I am very happy.
I went to the local home depot and got a few 2x4 wooden planks and installed them on the wall where the gate is. Di that to avoid the pressure mounts going into the hard walls.
The gate is easy to open and close (but not for my 3 year old), it is stable and solid. I was a little worried about tripping over the lower bar but that's not an issue as it is only 1/2 an inch (or less) high.
