Who makes the best gate?
A. Our experience has shown that several manufacturers have certain gates in their product line that have proven themselves over time. Unfortunately, we do not use all the gates that they offer in their safety gate line. We will recommend the Safeway gate and its No.#1 rated latching mechanism, the Center Gate (a pressure gate), the Summers extra tall gate (a pressure gate), the Elongate, and the Configure and HearthGate from the Kidco product line. If you want a wood gate, we only recommend the EvenFlo 1050 Gate from their safety gate line. For a hands-free gate, we recommend the First Years gate. Unfortunately, there are a lot of gates out there to purchase, but they do not all work as one would like them to work. Our criteria is that the gate must latch solidly, resist accidental unlatching and be of quality construction to provide the service and safety that allows us, as professional baby-proofers, to confidently install and warrant a child safety gate.
