Summer Infant Sure and Secure Extra Tall Walk-Thru Gate, White

(237 customer reviews)

Taller than the average safety gate at a full three feet high, Summer Infant's Sure & Secure is the perfect solution for families with climbers. The fact that it only takes one hand to operate is also a blessing when you're arms are full of laundry, toys, or baby. To open it form either side (the gate is designed to swing both directions), simply slide the lever at the top of the gate with your thumb and then lift up. Closing doesn't require any hands at all: the gate will automatically shut and lock behind you, providing extra peace of mind.

Durable metal gate used in doorways, openings or at the top of the stairs
Includes wall cups, one 5" and one 10" extension-so no additional purchase is necessary
Non-swinging hinge from top of the stairs which prevents the door from swinging over the stairs
Fits doorways 28" to 47.5" wide and is 36" tall for extra security
Simple one-handed operation-closes and locks automatically

Poorly-designed latch broke after a few days Sep 07, 2010
I've owned several different infant gates, including the popular hands-free model referred to in other reviews (made by another manufacturer, and it works very well), and I have to say, this "Summer" brand gate was a huge disappointment.

The design and operation of the gate latch is poor. The crude gravity-operated latch (or bolt, whatever) on the bottom crossbar seems like it was added as an afterthought and works poorly. And the so-called "self-closing" feature simply does not work as advertised - the gate may swing partially shut, but nothing short of a forceful push will lock the latch. And unfortunately, it was during an occurrence of the gate being pushed shut that

THE GATE LATCH BROKE, MAKING THE GATE COMPLETELY USELESS

(As opposed to this gate's prior state of being "mostly useless")

Since return shipping will cost over half the purchase price, this piece of junk will be headed to the scrap-metal heap.

I'll be avoiding products sold under the "Summer" brand name from now on.

Took a chunk out of my wall Aug 05, 2010
I ordered this gate because it had high reviews. It works well. But I specifically chose this type because I didn't want to drill into my walls for installation. Well, I may as well have. My wife barely bumped it one day walking through, it fell down, and the supposedly 'padded' tension feet took a chunk of paint off the drywall.
It will stick to your wall regardless because of what they use for the 'pad' so that it "won't" do that. May as well just install it with screws, or go with an alternate gate.

My baby can open this child proof gate Aug 03, 2010
Yes, before my baby learned to walk she learned how to open these gates. To open these gates, theoretically, you need to slide a little button with your thumb and lift up on the gate. However, there is a little tensioning wheel on the gate that has to be dialed in perfectly in order for the thumb slide to work properly. Too tight and the gate won't open, too loose and one doesn't need to use the thumb slide at all. The difference between too loose and too tight might be an eigth of a turn. Let the gate slam closed a couple of times and you're now out of that sweet spot. I had three gates and they all had the same problem. I was adjusting them each twice a day. If the gate is out of adjustment a baby can easily lift it a half inch and open it.

I gave the gates away to my parents who have small dogs who aren't very bright, (the dogs aren't bright, not the parents) and bought First Years Hands Free Gates which work perfectly and are more user-friendly as well. By the way, I think a dog could open these gates if it had a sharp nose and a habit of sticking it under fences and doors.

Not good for upstairs unless bolted into the walls. Jul 07, 2010
I bought this gate for my lab puppy. It works but I would not recommend it for upstairs use with babies.
It works well and does the job for my puppy but I don't think it with work with babies without being bolted into the walls.
My older dog is able to push it and it slides a little out of place without falling but it won't be safe for children. If you are looking at this one for kids make sure it is bolted into the walls and you will love it.

Great but... Jul 01, 2010
This gate is wonderful for the top of our stairs. It keeps the dogs from running to the front door and over crowding our guests. It also keeps them from sneaking down there to go to the bathroom. The only issue we have with this gate is that it doesn't truely swing closed. It does automatically close behind you but doesn't latch...so you still have to turn around and latch it yourself. The other issue was during assembly. This gate was so difficult to put together that we will never buy it again. But...after it is mounted into the wall it's great. You just have to get past the painful assembly process. You will need two people with this one. Preferably atleast one male or strong female. It does it's job and atleast it's not plastic and so i know it's not going anywhere. We will get another gate for the top of our stairs on the third floor when my baby girl starts walking...but not this one...something similar though.
