Lindam Sure Shut Porte Safety Gate

Important: This gate is not supposed to be used at the top of the stairs.This gate allows us to leave the door to our living (play) room open while preventing our baby from exiting. The gate was easy to install and the mechanisms works well. Our 3-year-old cannot open (yet) either. Although it doesn't require screws, it has these sticky pads which it instructs you to stick to the wall. We live in a rented house, thus I just stuck the pad to the plastic side and left the paper on the side that contact the wall. By tightening the screws (with the included little spanner), the gate is a snug fit in the door and no one has escaped yet. The door can also still close with the gate intactI wouldn't trust it at the top of the stairs and neither do the manufacturers. There are multiple pictures everywhere that warn not to use at the top of the stairs. It's too bad because the gate works well and it would be very useful if it could be reliably used at the top of the stairs. It can be used at the bottom of the stairs safely.I also thought when I bought it that we could use one gate and move it around. For this gate, that would be quite annoying because you'd have to get the spanner out each time. Thus, we have decided to leave in place and order another gate if we need it elsewhere. Or perhaps find another model that is more easily transported.Also, I bought these "wall protectors" to use with the gate. However, they are enormous and cannot be used in the door frame. Hopefully the thin foam pads will protect the door frame from the pressure of the plastic and metal parts.

Brought this stair gate to keep our dog in the kitchen when we answer the front door.Fantastic value for money, really easy to install in a door aperture, very clear and easy to use instructions it's also very sturdy and very well made and has a two way gate stop device that you fit to the lower bar of the gate if you only want it to open one way or stop it opening completely and makes the gate very solid when used.Gate catch is well designed and easy to use for opening and you can push shut it without operating the catch and it shuts with a reassuring click.To sum up. Well made, easy to install, easy to operate, value for money and comes with a 25 year guarantee.What more could you ask for, highly recommended.

Very efficient, security for baby and interior friendly. Looks good with house interior. Closes by itself so not worried if I left it open.

Overall I thought this was a good gate when I'd fitted it. It took only 5-10 mins to understand, fit, and more importantly test & fine tune the pressure pads. Despite the description mentioning this is pressure fit, they recommended you screw & glue (!) the 4 cups to the wall if using this gate on stairs (which 99% of people probably will). In which case why not just buy a screw-attached gate, not a pressure fit, because surely you wanted to avoid redecorating after?? However, I found that at the bottom of the stairs (gap 79cm) it was so solid, it didn't justify the cups (I pulled & pushed really hard and it didn't move at all, so I doubt a 1-4 year old could move it!). The gap at the top of our stairs is 82cm (the quoted maximum for this gate, without extensions), and the screw rods tilt a bit at full stretch, so I will look to fit the wall cups there (which give you an extra 3-5mm on each side), and if it's still not solid enough for me I'll look at the extensions or a wooden baton for the wall. Even so I would struggle to pull/push it over as it stands now. We bought 2 gates, on 1 of them the handle has immediately become stiffer within a day, as others have found. It looks to be because the rod it's attached to can flex and put pressure on the inside of the plastic handle. I'm going to try some grease & a bit of jiggling of the rod to see if it helps (shouldn't have to I know, but otherwise I really like these gates).

Great product, very safe and easy to use and put up. Got bottom clips that stop the gate from moving to the direct you don't want the children to go.I bought another as I liked it so much. Would highly recommend!

I purchased this stair gate along with the 7cm extension bracket to put at the bottom of our stair landing. We have two dogs and whilst the older dog knows not to go upstairs the new puppy doesn't understand this yet. This stair gate is great quality, it has a lift and open mechanism with a locking latch. You can also open the gate both ways so it's ideal for tighter spaces.Great product does the job well - nice and secure fittings.

fantastic does the job bought 2 and fit well sturdy

I loved this as it was easy to install and stopped my doggies from running upstairs to get up to mischief!!!You do NOT need to scre it into a wall etc. It uses pressure instead and comes with all tools (spanner) to help make the perfect fit. This has been totally worth the money for my oeace of mind.By the way, the lock on the gate part looks like it's out of alignment, but you have to tighten up the gate when installing it and the gate section moves towards the lock. I would totally recommend this purchase.
