Convenient latch system.

My elderly mother in law has trouble working the latch

The latch is quite secure and obviously not very intuitive on how to open it!

The bottom latch closes about half the time when top latch engaged

From there I secured the top latch to the gate and closed it to where I wanted it

I would NOT trust the latch on this gate for children at the top of the stairs; possibly adequate for small pets.

It is sturdy enough to support the dogs when they jump up on it; only thing I don't like is the latch for opening as it is extremely difficult to work- it hold the gate closed quite well, but very difficult to manipulate for opening.

I was worried our young daughter would have difficulty opening the latch, but she does so with ease

(see update above)On the positive side, it IS quite sturdy (plastic latches aside) and I am pretty sure that my dog won't chew her way through it

I just let it swing freely, but the latch is easy to open with one hand.

You can extend the latch-side adjustments to hold the latch into place while you mark/adjust it.-Install the top latch.

Two days after we got it installed, the latch is BROKEN

Easy latch to open

The latch is a little difficult to open one handed; hurts my thumb.2

If she does, I will have to install a wood batten strip attached to two studs to support the latches

Like with the hinges, I placed the upper latch in position connected to the metal stud that screws into the gate horizontally

Install the latch and repeat for bottom latch with top latch secured.

After a month the latch still works perfect and is easy to open and close.

Open the gate and install the top latch into the wall

Slide the top latch into the top screw of the gate and adjust the screw in or out as necessary; it shoulld not be tight against the latch like it's pressing the latch into the wall

Now swing the door closed and dry fit top latch, mark and drill

Drill a 1/8” hole for each mark, and install the top latch

The latch is a bit cumbersome.

Upon closer inspection it seems almost as if the opening latch is fake

Only feedback is it would be nice if the latches were made of metal like the rest of the gate

Concern is the latch of holding the gate in place but everything is working at it should currently.

The latch that holds gate in is very finicky and the metal will easily get stuck over the plastic so that it

The latch to open would certainly be infant/toddler safe but my 8 year old can open it with ease

It is like the latch is not deep enough

I would NOT trust the latch on this gate for children at the top of the stairs; possibly adequate for small pets.

A bit challenging to install and the latch is a loud unless you are very deliberately trying to be quiet

I called today since I broke the latch with my powerchair

My elderly mother in law has trouble working the latch

And, the latch that came with it doesn't work

It’s very sturdy however the bottom latch was defective and wouldn’t pop out

but I dont like the latch to open and close it

The latch is very easy to open one-handed

And finally the latch is ridiculous

For the bottom latch, I simply attached it to the gate first, closed the gate and secured into the fore mentioned mounted top latch and marked where the bottom lined up

My latch broke on the wall and they sent out a new one, free and quickly

top latch (see pic) has a push-down mechanism that does nothing as far as I can tell

I have to use my hand and foot to lift gate out of top and bottom latches

It’s just not a smooth, natural latching function - however, after having two in use for a couple of years, there has been no breakage of plastic parts

Secure this bottom latch and call it good

The latches are cheap

Top latch broke after a year and a half of daily use.

Top latch broke after a year and a half of daily use.

Not a bad product, but not as good as I was hoping.

I received no hardware to install the gate and I am shocked as to how that managed to happen

The pieces attaching to the wall broke as soon as it was secured to the wall

n’t suspect my grandson will be able to for a long time either
