Great Gate
This is the only gate that we could find that was; reasonable priced, could span >70", provided a pass through door, was easily removable, expandable, and will adapt after the children are more mobile (such as gaurding the fireplace.

I am especialy impressed with the quality construction and ease of installation. Excellent!!

the best ever
This is the first gate the actually accomodates our irregular stairway. It is adjustable and so versatile. It is sturdy enough that I haven't even mounted it to the walls. I absolutely recommend this gate. I wish I had known about it with my oldest daughter.

really happy with this gate
this gate makes my life so much easier than a traditional gate at the bottom of the stairs would have been. i did not want to struggle with opening a gate while i was on the bottom step going down, or struggle opening a gate with a baby in my arm or laundry etc when i was on the way up. its so much nicer to have a little 'landing' at the bottom of the stairs to readjust/compose myself before opening the baby gate (also a big help if you have dogs that tend to bum-rush you when you enter/exit a room). The wall mounting hardware is not fixed, so you can avoid floor mouldings,find studs in the wall, etc. This gate can be used in a linear configuration, C-Shape or S-Shape, depending on where you need to put it. more money, but worth it

Great for large expanses
I bought this gate after reading all of the positive reviews. I have to agree, I really like it! It was easy to put together (despite not having instructions) and it feels very stable. Also, measure your space very carefully. I measured wrong and had to order an extra extension. In total, I have the main gate plus three 24" extensions.

Works Great!
We use one of these at the top of our stairs, and one at the bottom. We have a wrought iron railing and this goes all the way around it. It is phenomenal.

Great for bottom of stairs
We've been looking for a gate for the bottom of stairs. The first one we installed went straight across and attached at the stair rail on one side and the wall on the other a couple steps up. Unfortunately, there is no stud in the wall we could use. After 6 months or so, the gate came out of the wall and because of the molly screws, left a gaping hole.

The Kidco Configure Gate is great because it rests on the floor. Having a gate on the floor seems safer than having the gate a couple steps up, especially when carrying a baby, laundry basket, etc. We bought a 24 inch extension to make the configuration work better for our situation. It seems secure - able to withstand our 3-yr-old now and hopefully the baby as she goes from crawling to standing to walking.

Finally an answer to odd angles and large size openings!!
I discovered KidCo after 15 years of trying all sorts of gates, etc. to block the odd stairway openings in our split level home (we've had some give way, others too difficult to actually use, and one set of stairs nothing ever worked to prevent them from trying to go up). Luckily, falls were never serious but now I've been watching a friend's baby and wanted no possibility of injury or accident. We recently purchased a wood pellet stove and the owner recommended the kidco firesafety gate enclosure which was wonderful. I immediately began looking to see if Kidco had something similar to work for our odd opening and discsovered the Configure gate which when angled across the doorway of the hall prevented access to Both Stairways!!! but still lets the rest of the family through with the easy access center opening. I now sleep easy at night and have no worries when my nieces, nephews, and friends come over with their wee ones---just wish I had known about this 15 years prior when my oldest was a tot!
The item was ordered, shipped, and received withing Days!!! Prompt service, shipped in clear overwrapped plastic so bad weather delivery doesn't cause damage either. Totally positive experience and would recommend product and supplier for future purchases.

Great!
We bought this to prevent our 1-year-old from "exploring" the gas fireplace. We purchased one extra insert to fit the space, and the thing works beautifully. It's sturdy, the slots are close enough together that one can't fit their hands too far through them, and the closing mechanism is hard for even an adult to open/close. The only thing we didn't use are the bolts that attach the extreme edges to the walls.

Great wide area gate for large dogs!
I bought this gate with the 24" extension for our new home. I wanted to be able to keep our 11 year old Golden Retriever and 3 year old Black Lab out of the carpeted areas when we were not home. We just moved in and even before we mounted the gate we set it up using boxes as braces so we could take it down easily when we were moving furniture and it worked great. We now have it mounted and I see it can still be removed easily. It has worked very well to keep the dogs off the carpets and new furniture when we are not able to supervise them. They still have a large tiled room to roam at will and respect the gate barrier.
I would recommend this gate to anyone as it is easy to install and use. My only wish is that the swing gate would be a little wider.

Excellent Gate!
This gate is great! It is very solid and very easy to attach to walls etc.. It accomodates almost any space and is very nice to look at. I recommend this gate for anyone that needs a gate around a fireplace or other large area where a traditional gate wont fit.
