Review: DONT LISTEN TO THE BAD REVIEWS! BUY THIS NOW! - *excuse the laundry 🧺 at the bottom of my stairs* OKAY GUYS LISTEN! I was skeptical too because of the mixed reviews and people saying how it’s difficult to open and close and this and that. I am here to tell you i set this up by myself in about an hour cuz i sat my butt down on a stool and took my time but yall could probably get it done in 30 min with a partner. Listen if you follow the assembly video in the picture description at the top and do it right you won’t have any issues with this gate! This gate is 100% solid and safe! There is no way my toddler is going to get thru it. Now as far as opening and closing the gate with one hand like most of the reviews complained about; it’s easy! I have no idea what they’re talking about. I think ppl are trying to pull those two little levers on the latch up to open it and throats wrong. You are supposed to take your index finger and thumb and push them down like your 🤏 pinching something and lift the gate up with the 2 back fingers (ring finger and pinky!) and it’s literally so easy to open and close with one hand holding a baby or groceries or whatever! It’s not rocket science guys! You may have to show an adult or the older kiddos how to do it the first time but after that it should be a breeze! There is no way a toddler can figure it out. I’m telling you if you set it up right and watch the simple video carefully this will do what it’s supposed to do but if your impatient rushing trying to run thru it well you will make mistakes and it won’t do what it’s supposed to. I absolutely love it and I give it 5 stars! If anything changes I will come back and let yall know but so far I feel like I got my moneys worth!! I highly recommend this product.
Review: easy to put together - easy to put together, easy to install, directions made sense, my 4yr old knows how to open it (after I taught him). I like that this can swing 180* depending on how you install it (I installed ours with the intent to have it hit the stair riser so my kids wouldn't rest it on the step). My only wish is that this came with a more substantial set of wall anchors. The gate isn't super heavy, but it's made out of metal, so unless you are installing into a stud, the constant opening and shutting movement alone could easily yank this out of the wall. Since I did not install this into a stud (impossible given the gate's location), when my husband ran into the gate in the middle of the night he successfully ripped the heavy duty wall anchor and screw on top of the gate out of the wall (I still can't figure out how he accomplished this). Since the resulting hole was quite large, I had to secure the gate bracket and screw with liquid nails. Super lame since once we are done with the gate it's gonna be a beast to repair the drywall -- which I'll make my husband do as punishment! All and all, there are very limited options on gates that can be securely installed against a wall or post that is not 90*, and I have been very pleased with this one. I felt the price was good and would buy again, even if we didn't have a weird angled wall since it's so easy to open and close. I have a regalo gate on our other set of stairs (I bought this one first and our walls/railings were all 90* on this opening), and while the gate itself works well and prevents my 18mo old from falling down the stairs, it is annoying to have to hold the locking mechanism while opening the latch, and the opening in the gate itself reduces the stair opening to an obnoxious size (adults have to turn sideways to walk through it). This cardinal gate allows the stair opening to remain the same size, which makes passing through it -- especially when carrying things -- incredibly easy. Also, when my baby is sleeping I can easily leave the gate wide open since it'll sit flush against the wall (remember, it can swing 180*). If you would want to leave the gate open at times, make sure you get your level out, otherwise it'll just swing back shut :)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple but well made and versatile
*by S***. on January 6, 2025*

There's not much to this gate, but that's why it's so nice - all metal construction (except for 2 plastic bearing sleeves so it opens smoothly and quietly) and a really minimal design that means there's pretty much nothing that can break or wear out. It's a hard mounted design without a bottom bar, which is necessary for stairs, and it only requires 4 screws in total to install! It's also super versatile because of the simple hinge and latch design, allowing it to be installed at an angle in case you can't mount it perfectly perpendicular to the walls. We had a railing that got in the way for most gate designs, but it was no problem for this gate! Check out the attached photo (but ignore the black part near the hinge - I 3d printed a bracket for some elastic to prevent the gate from swinging open too far). The only downside is that because the entire gate swings, it can end up pretty long for a normal width stairwell, getting in the way when left open.
