Review: Unexpected superb customer service from Munchkin - The Munchkin Gate has been a great choice for my home. The control you have over adjusting between 29.5 - 54" wide is great, and we also love the height (36"). I purchased two (one at top and one at bottom of staircase). The actual installation took longer than expected: about an hour of measuring and finagling to ensure the best fit. The instructions were the worst part. They were picture based but you can find a good youtube video out there. Also, the product page for the manufacturer now has written instructions! There was a lot that we learned about the gate that wasn't apparent from the cryptic instructions. The gate opening itself is 22" wide with another 7.5" on the sides. This is the minimum width you can set it to. It also comes with one small extension (2.75"), one medium (5.5"), and one large (11"). Additional extensions can be purchased from the company as long as you don't exceed two 11" extensions. Beyond that width, it is not guaranteed to be stable. The adjustment rods are 4 independent pieces and can add up to 2.5" additional space for you to work with. Measure your opening and then plan out the best extensions for your opening based on these figures. If you aren't sure, call Munchkin and they'd be glad to help you figure out your best option. The installation was a bit trickier for me due to two things. We needed the adjustment rods to be at a different depth at the bottom than at the top due to the baseboards. The harder part was working around a hand railing on one side at both the top and bottom of the stairs. We ended up putting the gates on the first step from top instead of at exact top because it wouldn't fit with the handrail otherwise. After figuring out placement and measuring the openings we needed to set, it was pretty straight forward. We didn't need to add any extensions on (but if so the first step would be to remove the plastic plugs at the edge of each side of the gate with a flat head screwdriver, add small plastic adapters to put extensions together and reinsert the plugs on the outside of the extensions. I've seen the gate installed elsewhere. If you use extensions, it can bow out a bit at where they fit together rather than looking like a straight line. The adapters between the extensions don't seem that sturdy.) After adding any necessary extensions, the next step is to attach the mounting cups to the wall. We didn't drill the mounting cups into the wall or use any wall anchors - the tension mount holds strongly enough for our application. The final step is to turn the adjustment rods until it is tight against the wall. We closed the swing guard on both sides so that the gate didn't open and then placed it in the middle of the opening and screwed the adjustment rods until there was a tight fit between the wall and the mounting cups. Finally, we adjusted the swing guards so that they would only swing one direction (away from the stair risers). The gate door stays open until you manually shut it. (Munchkin does sell auto-close models). This gate doesn't take a lot of force to close. It's easy for an adult to open by simultaneously pressing on the top and bottom of the locking mechanism. A lock mechanisms on one of my gates was defective: it stuck open about half the time, meaning you thought you closed it (but no, the gate could be swung back open without pressing anything.I've included pictures of the gate open with the lock incorrectly "stuck down" and one with what the lock should look like when the gate is open.) I called Munchkin to ask if they would send me a new mechanism because I had a problem. I assumed that if they didn't have the part, I would have to return the gate to desertcart and order a new one. I didn't complain to Munchkin about it, just asked if there were any parts available. The woman responded saying that she could see that this is a safety hazard and no, they didn't have a part available to send to me. But... they sent me an ENTIRE new gate to replace the defective one, free of charge! It arrived within several days. I can't say enough about their customer service. I'm very happy with the quality of this product. My 2yo son pulls hard on the gates even though he knows he's not supposed to, and neither budges. (Note: On the top of the stairs we added vmaisi wall cups for a little extra stability, but due to space limitations we didn't use them at the gate at the bottom of the stairs: https://www.desertcart.com/gp/product/B072LYNT7N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 ). He hasn't been able to figure out how to open it even though he watches me. If he does, I may switch to also locking the swing guards both directions so the gate won't move without doing both the lock and the guard. He isn't able to climb over it and our tiny dog can't get through the rungs (according to Munchkin, they are 2.2" apart). I have kind of tripped over the bottom track before, but since the gate is installed on the last step it hasn't caused an accident. As far as looks go: the gate is more of a dark gray than a black but eh, I can deal with it. It looks pretty seamless with our black balusters. The adjustment rods are silver threaded - wish they were black too. The gate opening is off-center for us with no extensions. All in all, very pleased with this. It looks like a planned part of the house rather than an ugly baby gate.
Review: Wonderful product for 48`` openngs. 100% satisfied. - We bought this gate to make a playroom for our new puppy out of our kitchen. I read a lot of descriptions of other gates and was trying to find something sturdy and able to fit our 48`` kitchen opening. * I have chosen this gate because: - it is pressure mounted. I did not want to make any holes in the walls to install it. - it is made of steel. My puppy tried to chew it once and was very disappointed, he does not try to do this anymore. - it is taller than other gates, 36 inch high (I don't want to replace it as my puppy grows up), when my little beagle reaches his adult size, this gate will still do the job (even if the puppy will try to use a trash bin as a step to jump over the gate, he won't make it) - it arrives with 3 extensions in the box, very versatile for different size openings (but not any size, you may have something in between the extensions) - it is dark color, something like dark grey. It matches perfectly our black kitchen cabinets and loft style brick walls. - the gate (the pert to open) is wider than in any other gate. It is much more comfortable for people to enter and to carry things through. * Installation. Well, it was not completely easy. One of the extensions (2 bars one) did not fit well, so we had to use a hummer to connect it to the principal gate. But in the end it worked ok. The pressure bolts were easy to tighten with a special instrument which was in the box. * Size. We have a 48`` opening. It fits perfectly with 2 extensions: 4 bars on one side and 2 bars on another side. This configurations will be perfect for 48-49`` openings. 49 is the max (for this extensions configuration). See the attached pictures to see how it fits. * Materials. It is very well made. The bars are impossible to bend. All the construction when installed feels very reliable. No way any metal part can break. The only week parts are the connections of the extensions. As soon as they are made of plastic there is some movement if you push the gate forward or backwards. For us it is not a problem because it is installed on the edge of hardwood and thick carpet. So the carpet works as additional support for the whole construction. * Lock. The locking mechanism is nice. The gate can be secured in 2 points. Upper lock is a latch which can be opened only if you press 2 buttons in the same time. We got used to this very fast. It can be locked with a push. The bottom of the gate can be secured with an additional lock. It can also be used to control the direction the gate opens. We made it open only to the kitchen side. If our dog wants to jump on the gate the bottom part is fixed and will not bend towards the living room. It is very nice feature. Overall we are very satisfied with the gate. It fits and works as expected and looks very nice. Definitely recommended for people who need to secure their animals or kids in a certain area.

It’s sturdy and nice looking, but mine broke within a few weeks - the bottom latch wouldn’t respond to the top button. Am very disappointed given the price.
