The Safety 1st Lift, Lock and Swing Gate has a unique 2-in-1 design which allows the gate to be used in either of two modes. You decide which mode best fits your needs: mount it at the top of the stairs as a hardware swing gate or place it in your doorway as a pressure mount security gate. In either mode, the SecureTech indicator lets parents know that the gate is securely locked in place. For easy operation, the gate also features a complete-control top handle that lets you lock, release, and adjust as needed.
- 2-in-1 design: pressure security or hardware swing
- For use at top of stairs, bottom of stairs or between rooms
- Top handle locks, releases, and adjusts
- Lock/unlock SecureTech indicator shows when gate is locked

I was reading the comments of the past users and I have no clue what the problem is. The product is a bit difficult to get set up but the instructions guide you through it all. After the instal it is the best thing ever. There is no difficulty opening or closing It, my 3 year old can testify to that. It requires a small pull or a small push to open or close it. Works on small or wide hallways. Best gate ever. We are passing it on to other family members who have small children. You won’t regret the purchase. Edit, up to age 3 it works perfect for small children out of a room or many rooms.

I have odd door frame sizes and this was the only solution that fit my needs. It’s great that you can take it to different rooms. Somewhat hard to use at first but then becomes very easily, as with many of the baby security products IMO.

We have two of these gates. They’re noisy when you open and close them and a bit heavy but they’re so handy for stairwells, decks, barring off rooms, etc. We love that they are portable and very strong so I don’t have to worry about my toddler knocking them down.

This is a great product–I already have several throughout my house. Unfortunately, one of these came without the hardware, so that’s why they didn’t get all 5 stars:-( I did call my local Home Depot, but got the run-around so I quit trying.

I installed and used this for a year to keep our puppy from using the stairs. Puppies that climb stairs a lot can get hip dysplasia. I removed it when she was old enough to use the stairs, but now I’m installing it again for the new dog. I think the poor reviews are from people who use the temporary “pressure” mount instead of the screwed-in permanent mounts. But, I’m not sure I would want to trust that a toddler couldn’t push over the gate at the top of stairs when only held by the pressure pads.

I have no idea what previous reviewers are having issues with. This is my 5th time buying these gates! My 4th child just started walking so it was time for gates. I’ve used these exact ones for every child. Tried others but they just don’t hold up like these do. Install is so easy a child could do it(with supervision) Not only are the gates sturdy and easy to use the company is great too! I called up to order some more of the pieces that attach on the wall so I could use one in multiple spots and the company just sent them out no charge.. completely unexpected but greatly appreciated. They went above and beyond and that’s the kind of company I like to do business with. I will say this… There is a trick to these gates when using the hinge and gate stop cups.. you do not extend the gate all the way inside the cup.. just enough so it touches the back of it because when you lock it, it extends just enough to secure itself inside the cup! Even my 6 year old can get in and out by herself after showing her just a single time.

I agree the locking mechanism is a little tricky but that’s the point my toddler cannot get it open. I personally love this gate because I can put it at the end of the hallway and just remove it in the morning but with the hinges it actually holds unlike most pressure held gates. I would not use it as a permanent gate but for something at night to keep the kids out of the kitchen if they wake up and feel like getting into things it’s absolutely perfect.
