Clippasafe Extendable Swing Shut Gate (Metal)

Good value for money, easy to install, sturdy too.

Just the job

This gate works well for us. We have a spiral staircase and needed a stair gate that would fit an 88cm gap. This does the job. One of the other reviewers has commented about drilling holes, I can only assume they received another product as mine is on the wall and stair frame with just suction caps only and is not going to moving any time soon! The gate's clipping mechanism could do with slight improvements in my opinion but its only a small niggle. It keeps the baby out of trouble and so I would recommend to others. I have ordered another for the top of the stairs now as well.

Its a nightmare to open. I have ended up sellotaping the bottom catch up as it was too hard! It makes a loud clang waking the baby unless i ease it shut and though it does swing to it doesnt actually swing CLOSED and safe all the time, in fact only 50% of the time.It says quite clearly on the description that it is pressure mounted, which i wanted as I am selling the house soon and i didnt want to be drilling holes, not to mention the fact that i dont know how, so when it came and the instructions say you need to drill it in the wall as well I could have screamed!I deliberately paid a lot more money to get a gate that was pressure mounted and had a self close safety feature as the one time my mum forgot to close our other gate the baby fell down the stairs!! This product failed on both counts.Also it says you have to tighten one side more than the other to get the catches level. Its near impossible to do without making the gate totally loose on one side, otherwise they arent level and cant shut! Stupid gate, Stupid expensive gate!

Does the trick

The first gate arrived which was both scratched and badly damaged, thus was down to the delivery people rather than the fault of the manufacturers. However the quality is not good. I purchased the same gate 2 years ago and the new one was no where as good as the previous one. The gate has gone up in price but the quality has gone down in quality and build.Will not be buying another one of these gates should I need one there is better gates at a lower price that will do the job.

A little flimsy but does the job (stopped the dog getting upstairs)

Not up to the job. Collapsed on my 7 year old twice. The 2 year old nearly pulled it out from the bannister. Needs constant tightening. The wife just screamed at me to get rid as she tripped on it and it fell apart just missing the 2 year old. Whatever safety tests this passed are not good safety tests.
