I bought 2 of these safety gates for my new house. However, when i actually moved in i realised that one of my doorways wasn't standard size at 30 inches, but it was 27 inches. This was my own fault for not checking the sizes! My standard doorway accommodates this stairgate well, but it is important that buyers are aware that due to the gate fitting 29.5-32.5 inches, a standard 30 inches doorway is a very tight fit. But it will fit, so dont give up! It just takes a bit of hard work.
The gate itself is excellent: it has a swing shut door which closes itself after someone walks through, and it can be opened either way. Also, because the gate is a pressure fix, it's simple to move around the house if necessary. It's easy to clean and the white colour is well matched to my decorating! All in all, its a great buy!
