KidCo G15 White Center Gateway with Walk Through Pressure Gate Review
We purchased this gate originally for the bottom of our stairs. We really only considered pressure mounted gates as we didn't want to put holes in the walls of our brand new house! We also wanted a gate with a doorway, so we didn't have to constantly climb over it as we were heading up the stairs. After some research, we ended up deciding to give this one a try.
The gate took a little time to install properly, and it did require that we purchase an extension kit as well. You do need to install this gate with a lot of pressure, to the point where I thought it was starting to dent the drywall a bit. However, once the gate was installed there has been no issues with it whatsoever. Installed properly, the gate doesn't move at all, and the door is not able to be opened without using the latch. Our son has been able to latch the gate himself for quite a while, but never able to unlatch it.
Just a note that we actually had to installed the gate on the first stair (at the bottom of the stairs there is only a wall on one side) and it has not been any problems installed on the actual stair.
The gate has worked out so well we just got a second one to use in the upstairs hallway to keep our son away from the top of the stairs as well.

KidCo G15 White Center Gateway with Walk Through Pressure Gate Specifications
Unlike most of the metal safety gates on the market, the Center Gateway does not permanently attach to walls or banisters with hinges and screws. Instead, this 29.5-inch-high steel barrier uses a pressure-mounted system to hold it in place across doorways and halls in your house. Although it may lack the complete strength of a permanently mounted gate and probably shouldn't be used in front of stairways, the Center Gateway is far more versatile: after installation you can easily detach and move it throughout your home to block off-limit rooms and spaces as needed. The Center Gateway also eliminates the need for drilling holes into the wood and metalwork around your home. The gateway is designed to block spaces from 29.25 to 37.5 inches wide, and you can purchase optional extension kits (sold separately) to extend the gate's length to almost 49 inches. Adult assembly is required. --Chris Burns

Works perfectly - S. Stille - Iowa
We had regular wooden baby gates to keep our two small dogs from going upstairs and they worked well enough but then I became pregnant and decided I wanted a walk-through gate so I didn't have to step over or remove the gate entirely every time I wanted to go upstairs. We choose this gate because it's wide enough to fit in our stairwell opening and because of the wide walk-though area. I Love this gate. We just leave the handle pulled up so we don't have to push the button every time we want to walk through it but I like that it's available for when the wee one will be old enough to start tugging on it. We also rent so pressure-mounted was important and after properly installing it (which I admit was a bit tricky) it hasn't budged at all in the past 6 months. It's very study! I just bought another one because I like it so much.
Walk Thru Gate - Rena R. Cantway - Ocala, FL
This gate works well for the area I needed it. I would prefer it did not have the extra lifting step to open it.
my favorite gate - C. Conner -
we've owned this gate for several years and love it. i recently tried out the dreambaby in another location and wasn't happy with it. the kidco is worth the extra money if you can afford it.
my kidco is much, much easier to install, doesn't require mounting cups, does not swing shut so it can be left open when my little guy is asleep. not good to leave it open when he is awake as he loves to swing it and bang it around.
the kidco latch has a button to be pushed while rasing the handle. you can then let go of the handle and lift and swing the gate. this seems to be easier for me and my 6 year old than the other brand, but also seems like it would be more difficult for the baby to figure out - if he could reach it.
we had this gate pressure mounted with extensions in a 64" opening in our previous house without any problem. its the only one we could find that would fit that space and we were very happy with it.
