Safety 1st SecureTech Metal Gate, Pressure Fit Safety Gate, Baby Gate for Stairs and Doors, for Widths 73 to 80 cm, extendable up to 136 cm with extensions sold separately, Metal White

I recently purchased this pressure-fitted stair gate, and I couldn’t be happier with its performance. Installation was incredibly easy, taking just minutes with the only tool needed being the included spanner. The pressure-fit mechanism holds the gate securely in place, making it a perfect choice for renters or anyone who wants a fuss-free setup.One of my favorite features is how smoothly it operates. The gate can be opened and closed with just one hand, which is a game-changer when juggling a toddler or carrying items up and down the stairs.The build quality is impressive - sturdy enough to withstand my active toddler’s attempts to climb or shake it. Even when he leans his full weight on it, the gate stays firmly in place, giving me peace of mind about his safety.It has green/red colour indicator near the latch to indicate that the gate has been fitted correctly and is secured in place. If you install the gate wrong, it will stay red until you rectify your mistake. The gate also has a little latch at the bottom so if you only want to open the gate in one direction, you can do so. Very handy feature.It’s high enough for my toddler who is 2 years old but, by the time he can climb over the gate… he shouldn’t really need it anymore anyway. Once that time arrives, the gate will be super easy to remove without damaging the wall and I will re-use it for my 2nd child.Price - I think it’s very fairly priced. Cheaper gates are available however, I like the build quality so I was happy to pay the tiniest bit more for this gate.Overall, this stair gate is an excellent choice for busy parents looking for convenience and reliability. Highly recommended!

Solid and practical gate, we use it for dogs, the children climb over it now, but this equals or exceeds the gates we bought for them when the humans were babies, both in quality and value. The lock mechanism is tight (necessarily) but the tolerances are such that you can 'just' catch the lock to allow for easy access by adjusting the tension. The double one way catches are very useful.

Satisfied with the quality, ease to set up in less than 10mins. It utilises a pressure technique on both sides to keep the gate intact, hopefully it doesn’t affect the integrity of the wooden guardrail on my stairs. Aside from that am very pleased with the product.

Great baby gate for the price point. Recently purchased one and it does the job. It was easy to install on a standard door entry and feels sturdy enough to leave no concerns. It looks good in place and seems to be built out of decent quality material.

I have tried several stair gates and found this SecureTech gate to be the best for build quality, security, smart looks, and simplicity of installation. There are four SecureTech gates fitted in our house and our daughter's, and we have had no issues. I ordered the 7cm extension kit as the top of our stairwell is too wide for the standard gate, which works a dream.The instructions are diagrammatic and need to be studied before you put the parts together and start the installation. The gate looks out of true when taken out of the box, but this is intentional. When the four spindle rods are tightened the gate is compressed and everything aligns, which provides the tension to help hold it in position.I like the green colour on the lock that confirms the gate is fully locked. It remains red until the gate has been correctly locked. Two actions need to be made at the same time in order to unlock the gate. With practice an adult can unlock the gate with one hand. However, the double action provides security as it means a toddler will not be able to unlock the gate.For the quality and the security, this gate offers excellent value for money.

The locking mechanism gets jammed and is impossible to open with one hand, it's even a struggle with 2 hands. The only solution is to loosen the screws on the side so the gap between the latch and the main gate is wider and is easier to open, however that makes the gate unsafe as the gate wobbles and slides easily between the bannister/wall. The only states are: have the gate safely installed so our baby cannot pull the gate off the stairs, but impossible to open, or have the gate possible to open but not performing the main safety task.

So all my family and myself have bought these for all our children, I do believe it’s the best however I’d like to give an honest review to see if it’s happened to anyone else. Our toddler managed to break the last one we had which was amazing, 5 stars, that’s why we bought the same again however when arrived it was faulty. I’m giving 5 stars as not sure weather they broke it or in transit however we’ve used the old one for that specific part which was lucky so we’re not sending it back. Again, this is the best one and I’d recommend this to everyone, friends families and strangers, very quick install and very sturdy. Not the best seeing the new one snapped there however other than that can’t fault the quality.

Sturdy, secure, and easy to set up! This baby gate fits perfectly in our hallway and gives us confidence that our little one is safe. The pressure-fit system works well without damaging the walls, and the SecureTech indicator is a helpful touch. A reliable safety solution.
