KidCo Safeway Gate - White Reviews
| 156 of 157 people found the following review helpful  Excellent Gate, Easy To Use, By S.M. "scottlydude" (Southern CA USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: KidCo Safeway Gate - White (Baby Product) This gate works very well. My 5 year old can open and close it easily, but my 2 year old cannot. It can be opened/closed easily with one hand while holding a baby with the other. We mounted 2 of them, one at the top and one at the bottom of the stairs. We've used this gate for 2 years without any problems.When installing, don't use the screws that came with the gate. Use 1-1/2" galvanized screws instead. Pre-drill slightly narrower holes about 1" into the studs before screwing. If you run into a metal plate just underneath the drywall while drilling (common in newer homes at the corners of walls), stop drilling and take a sharp and somewhat thick nail and hammer it gently through the metal plate, just far enough to puncture a hole that the drill bit can fit through, then continue drilling. When tightening the screws, you can use a cordless screwdriver, but stop just before it is tight, then tighten by hand with a Philips screwdriver so as to not break the plastic...

I bought them three years and three houses ago when my daughter started walking. They have been installed at the top of stairs, bottom of stairs, and between rooms, both as kid gates and as barriers for a 95-lb Labrador (Jack) and a psychotic lab mix we rescued (Maggie). Maggie occasionally freaked out during thunderstorms and apparently took it out on Jack. The gates helped protect Jack from Maggie. Did their job, too. One day we came home from church and Maggie had eaten her way through the wall from the garage into the utility room - fortunately for Jack, there was an extra stud in the way and she hadn't yet chewed through the 2x4 before we got home. But Maggie never ate through one of these gates!I have moved two times since my original purchase, and have taken all of my gates with me each time and reinstalled them in the new houses. After three installations, they are still working just...

I am really surprised that one key piece of information is missing from all of them. This gate does not come with screws to mount this on a wall with dry wall - even WITH a stud behind it. A one reviewer mentioned the directions themselves say that the screws included are meant for mounting this gate directly into wood. However, they go on to talk about mounting this into a stud behind dry wall. The screws included are 3/4" long at most. Dry wall is 1/2" thick on most interior walls. Add the bracket to that and the screws that come with the product will not even hit the stud even if you do mount it over one. The fix is easy: Go get #6 screws that are 1" to 1.25" long. But can I just point out how friggin annoying that is? COME ON KIDCO!!! That is just ridiculous. 90% of customers are going to be mounting this into "normal" walls with drywall on it. That said, the gate is... Read more |

The Safeway Gate is rated number one for the top of the stairs by a leading independent consumer organization.

Measures 30.5 inches high.
