User Review for KidCo Safeway Gate
We have this gate at the bottom of our stairs to keep our avid climber downstairs. It is very securely mounted. The install looked easy enough (I watched). The latch is easy to operate, but you do have to remember to close it after you. It makes a quiet "click" when closed. No way my daughter can open it. This gate is much better than other hardware mounted gates we've purchased. (The angle mount version of this same gate has quieter hardware and is virtually silent if that's what you're looking for.) All in all, great gate!!

User Review for KidCo Auto Close HearthGate
We live in an old farm house with a propane heater that can get pretty hot to the touch. We bought the hearth gate for the heat resistance...IT WORKS! We set the heater higher than normal and awhile later tested the gate...it wasn't even luke warm!! What a relief and what an even GREATER PRODUCT! I will be recommending this gate to EVERYONE!
User Review for KidCo Safeway Gate
I can't express just how much I love this gate! I searched high and low to find a suitable gate for the top of my staircase and after trying several gates I purchased the Safeway Gate from kidco...and couldn't be more thrilled with my decision! There are not many gates on the market designed for a wall to banister mount, I thought the only choice I had was a presure mount gate but, after my son took a spill I decided there must be something better. The Safeway gate was so easy to install! Granted, I needed to buy a installation kit so the gate would mount to the banister. But, to my delight there was no need to drill holes into the banister, it mounted securily with plastic tie straps. I could seriously put all my weight against the gate without it budging! I know some people have expressed that the gate is not easy to open but I would disagree, I can easily open it with one hand. Do yourself a favor and don't bother with other gates! This is the only one you need to buy!

User Review for KidCo Safeway Gate
This gate will work great at the top of the stairs. I listened to the advice of others and started to use the template only for the hinged side, but I actually just installed the upper hinge and then held the gate on that upper hinge and marked the holes for the lower hinge, not even using the template. (If I had used the template, the upper gate hinge post wouldn't sit all the way down once the lower hinge was in place). Once both hinges were installed, I did the same on the locking side - did one latch, placed the gate in position and marked the other latch. this ensured correct positioning and it works great. The two problems with this gate is the templates aren't accurate and you can't use the screws that come with it. Buy #6 wood screws that are longer and use anchors if needed. This seems obvious, but other posts say the gate came out of the wall which is not going to happen with my gate. Also, someone mentioned the spring comes loose and someone else states its too hard to open/close and too loud. They had to have installed it wrong because mine does neither of these. If that spring comes loose, its nowhere near installed correctly. Just wanted to give this great gate some good feedback since I believe 80% of the bad remarks are from poor installation.
