Impossible latch
We were happy to finally find a gate that fits the irregular opening at the top of our stairs for such a great price. The gate installed quickly and everything seemed great until we tried to open the latch. There is nothing easy about this latch and even my husband--who is a pro with anything even slightly mechanical--had trouble and agreed the value of the gate wasn't worth the fight we had to go through to open it. We had to press down on the tiny square latch release with all our might and then wiggle the gate until it popped off the mounting! I couldn't imagine trying to open the gate while holding a baby!
