Thursday, December 30, 2010 North States Supergate III, Plastic Gate Mounts 5 Different Ways Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I received a couple of these gates free from a former pet owner at first I was pleased with the donation and then I tried to use them.First of all you have to slide the gate to approximately fit the opening which took me quite some time since it was very stiff to slide (probably a good thing if it were too easy a baby could do it) and then I over slid itand then I under slid it and then I had a screaming 10 month old wondering what I was doing!Once I finally got it to fit the opening and latched into place it worked fine for a little while until I needed to take it down and then later tried to put it back up again. It was then I discovered you have to do the readjusting thing nearly every time because it eventually becomes smaller than your opening again.During this whole process the gate scratched paint off the wall in several places so much for no touch up work!
Then by the time my baby became 1 year old he was able to push it over completely with enough persistence!Having a pressure mounted gate may seem like a great idea... not having to repair your walls, but let me tell you I would rather repair a wall or two than put up with these annoying gates!!
I suppose if you had a low traffic area and were able to leave them up most of the time you wouldn't need to constantly readjust them.. and with a toddler at your feet banging on you and it trying to get through the readjusting part was just too time consuming!

Creating barriers between rooms is an easy and sensible way to maintain a child- and pet-safe home. Designed with this in mind, the North States Supergate III provides secure, effective protection that is ideal for families with multistory houses.

Five Mounting Options for Versatility
The Supergate III features five different mounting options, offering you several uses around the home.
Right out of the box, the Supergate III can be used as a quick and easy pressure mount gate--no measuring, hardware, or tools required. Simply expand the gate in the opening and lock the handle.
Well-suited to blocking doorways, the gate includes proprietary door sockets that provide extra holding power for pressure mounting it in openings between 26 and 42 inches wide. Also perfect for barricading hard-to-block spaces, the gate includes rail sockets that let you mount it between two railings or between a railing and a wall.
The gate can also be used as a hardware-mounted swing gate, perfect for highly used areas such as the kitchen and living room. With the gate's smooth, rounded edges, opening and closing it is quick, easy, and pinch-free.
Finally, unlike some other gates on the market, the Supergate III is certified for mounting at the top of a stairway and includes the necessary hardware to do so.
(Note: The Supergate III's included hardware only works on solid materials, such as metal or wood; it is not intended for use with sheetrock or plaster. A drill and screwdriver are required for installation.)
