Supergate III Review by

I have two large, young dogs who love to play with cats, and a mother cat with four young kittens. I bought this gate to use across the hallway that leads to the cats' bedroom so they'd have a place of refuge. It didn't look too sturdy even in the store, but my criteria was that it needed to be a swinging gate so I can open it and roll my laundry cart into the laundry room down the same hall, and it needed to be cheap. We've had trouble with it pulling out of the wall when the dogs try to stand up on it to peer at the cats. It worked fine as a pressure gate until we could get to the store to purchase wall anchors instead of the worthless screws that came with the gate. But now there's four huge holes in the wall, which will someday need patching. And because we missed slightly on the measurements, we need to purchase washers or something to get the gate to fit more tightly in the brackets, so that it will swing without wobbling. The latch on the gate has also been a bit of a problem, requiring a little time and patience to latch it each time it's opened. I would NOT use this gate for kids of any age, but despite the problems I've had, I have been able to figure out a solution to each problem the gate has presented. I'm relatively happy with its performance in protecting my cats' area from dog invasion.

My husband and I bought this gate to use at the top of our staircase. It appeared to be the best buy for the money. Well, we were wrong. The screws that come with the product to mount it are not long enough to go through the sheetrock into the stud. Position the gate on the brackets, and the weight of the gate pulls the screws out of the wall.
In addition to that, the swing hardware is designed wrong. The part that makes the gate swing is longer than the bracket in the wall, so just swinging the gate open PUSHES the brackets (with their puny little screws) out of the wall. I don't know how it works as a pressure gate, because we only have need for a gate at the stairs, so it went back to the store, but DO NOT buy this gate for stairway use.

Supergate III Review by R. DRAGOMER (Griffith, IN United States)

I thought this gate was a wonderful deal for the price and the fact you could use it on the stairs. Boy, was I wrong! It works horrible on the stairs. The hinges the company sent are xxx. The gate is constantly falling off them when you open it to go up the stairs.
