From the Manufacturer
The Sure and Secure¿ Extra Tall Top-of-Stairs Gate with Alarm from Summer Infant is hardware-mounted and helps you create and maintain a secure environment for your child. It is especially suitable for the top or bottom of the stairs. It has special hardware that allows you to install it so the hinged swinging door opens only in one direction - away from the stairs. The gate also features an alarmed latch that sounds if gate is opened by a child. Alarm also has a parent override button that provides a 10 second delay for easy passage. The easy to use one handed latch is convenient if your hands are full. Gate door also swings closed automatically. The gate is fully adjustable to fit openings from 28 to 54 wide and mounts extra tall at 36 to make it more difficult to climb or step over. Child resistant latch keeps gate secure. Even works in doorways with baseboards.

Customer Reviews

Working so far for us
Well, this gate has some good stuff and some room for improvement. This has been our experience:

- It is good and sturdy once installed. The templates which show where the hardware goes worked well. We didn't have any problem getting it level and swinging properly.
- The alarm is very distinctive - you wouldn't confuse it with something else. It isn't too loud but you would recognize it.
- It looks nice and is quite tall (36"). The height matches with our existing banister nicely.
- Since it comes with 2 panels, it is plenty wide for most doorways (adjusts from 28"-54").
- It did take a long time to install - about 1.5 hours. But to be fair, this is the first gate with hardware that we've installed, so I don't have a basis for comparison to other hardware installed gates. Of course they're going to take longer than the pressure mounted ones.
- It does take a bit of effort to get the gate open. I can do it with one hand, but it takes a bit of practice to lift the gate up and over the latches on the top and bottom. I wonder if some of the other folks were trying to pull it open straight instead of lifting it up and over the latches.
- It will swing 'closed', but won't really latch on its own unless you push it shut.
- With the latch and alarm, I can't imagine a small child getting thru it.

All in all we have liked it so far. Good luck with whichever gate you decide to get!

Great Gate with a couple small flaws...
This is the THIRD gate we've purchased for the top of our stairs and the only one I actually feel safe using. It's easy to use, but the younger kids can't get it open. They can't climb it or squeeze through the bars. It's even safe for our 10 week old puppy who got his head stuck in the gate this one replaced.

Please know the instructions for this gate STINK and the alarm was so annoying we took the batteries out. We put it together using the picture on the box.

We've owned several safety gates over the years and this one is by far the best and well worth the $59.99 we spent on it.

***Update***
After almost a year the hardware on this gate broke. I simply called the company and they sent out new hardware free of charge. Still loving this gate!

Plastic Mounts & Metal = GARBAGE
I blame myself for this purchase. The gate seemed solid, but when I pulled out the plastic bits you are supposed to hang the gate on, I knew I was in trouble. Plastic mount broke as I was putting in the wood screw. Returning it for a refund and picking up an Evenflo Top of Stairs Gate. CRAP!
