Completely useless
The bottom of the gate fixes securely however the top does not. As per many other reviews here, our gate just falls out of place with slight pressure. I guessing it is due to the streamline drsign at the bottom, I cant believe Bunnings sell them. Show detailsDangerous: unsafe for children
Purchased 2 wall pressure mount baby gates from bunnings. The bottom was tight but the top was extremely loose and my 1yr old boy pulled it over first try. If you try to make it tighter the door will no longer lock because its overtightened. Faulty product. I set this up for our stairs, imagine if i kept this and my boy pushed it over and fell down the stairs. Cant believe bunnings sell these and havent been sued yet. Show detailsSwing gate wall mounted
This gate is very difficult to lift up and latch and lift up to unlatch I am relatively strong however am unable to lift it up to latch it closed with one hand and need two hands spread out over the width of the gate. There is so much resistance when attempting to lift the gate to shut it. Impossible to do with a baby in one arm.Otherwise the gate it tidy and sleek looking however it is not user friendly with a child and it is incorrectly advertised as a one handed lock. Show details
Efficient and affordable
We purchased these gates for the lounge room entrance and to block off the stairs.They didn’t come in the correct measurements so had to get the extensions, which is fine.
My daughter stands up at one and pulls on it and it seems a little flimsy but so far so good!
I like the 2 way swing on the main one and then the the other is a one way swing door.
They do the job and not overly expensive Show details
wish i read the reviews first
got 3 of the "pressure mounted" Ultimate safety gates from Bunnings.. as the other reviews have said they attach great at the bottom but need to be loose at the top or the gate wont open or close. Making them flimsy. 1 day after installation my 1yr old already pulled one down on herself..i got a hardware mounted Superior safety gate for the hallway as the Ultimate do not extend past normal door frame size without extensions. Got it home and found it had been re packaged with pieces missing. back to the store i go.
These are the first i have t... Read moreried so cant comment on or compare to other brands. for me they are better than nothing and im going to keep mine. I would advise to always use the plastic cups that come with them and check their website if your using them for different sized openings.
Great for dogs
Bought this to section off our study room for our dog suffering from separation anxiety. No more scratched door frames and broken flyscreens now that he has his own little den (as he doesnt like to be crated at all). Gate works fine. When we are home we can open it up and it stays open which lets our dog go in and out as he pleases.Don't have children yet so I have no opinion on that like the other reviewers. Show details
junk junk junk
Piece of junk doesnt even open and close without falling apart (if too tight) or slipping off wall (if too loose) there is no ok tension do that it works Show detailsNeeds minor improvement
Works great as a singular set for a pen, but we thought the play area was to small so we bought another and joined them together to make one big rectangle play pen. Everything fits together easy enough but you cannot lock the hinges on each panel. Meaning if your Little one is standing up in the pen and supporting their weight in the centre or the rectangle they can push out the panel changing the shape of the pen. You should be able to shape then pen however you like if joining more panels and not be stuck in having a big circle. Easy fix by having lockable hinges. Show detailsI'm campaigning to get this gate removed from every store in Australia
This gate does not self close when fully opened.Our daughter fell down a full flight of stairs because of this gate. How can you expect tired over worked parents to remember to close the gate every time. These gates are an accident waiting to happen.
Our daughter was fine, just a few bruises and scare. But you put my child in danger and now I'm to make sure you don't put anyone else's child in danger. Show details
does the job
I love this fence, we installed it from a wall to a chest of drawers splitting this way our open kitchen from family/dining space. Our daughter is almost 2 years old and the fence does the job perfectly. she can never access kitchen area through this fence. she tried to shake it a lot but what it does it just moves a bit without collapsing.I also found it very useful as we didn't fix the middle joints to the floor and therefore now can move the fence closer to the kitchen or further from it as needed.
in our case great value for money Show details
Useless
Our baby was 6 months old and she just pulled on it and it fell down. You basically can't secure it properly to the "anchor" ponts. Total waste of money and dangerous because it will collapse on baby. I am so annoyed that Bunnings sell this junk. This is yet another junk piece going in the bin....It would not be ethical for us to on sell this junk to someone and their baby getting injured.Flimsy, unsafe, pointless
The plastic joints on the sides of the gate section (not the points between gate and panels that are supposed to pivot) are so weak that my 1 year old can push against the adjacent panel and split them apart, which causes the whole divider to move and the gate to swing open. The so-called "customer service" email address is unanswered.Does not function correctly, not safe
We installed this barrier as a room divider. The gate we received was faulty, some of the panel locks did not work at all while others held a little bit not completely. In troubleshooting the company advised some movement is normal and to place rubber matting underneath it. We will be returning for a refund and choosing an alternative brand that is functional and safe.Autoclose? No. Childsafe? No
Autoclose feature is totally unreliable. Even with the wall cups it does not take much force at all to pull it from the wall, will not last my 9 month old for long. I do not recommend this product unless it is for small dogs, I'll be buying another product for home safety.NOT secure
We purchased these gates when my baby was crawling and as soon as he could stand & start to walk (approx 10 months onwards) he'd figured out he could lift and shake the gate open.Company refused to refund or provide a solution!
Not a baby proof product!
Get a different brand!!
Questions & Answers
The spring has come out of the door opening mechanism. Has this happened to others?
We purchased a warm black, 76cms high, playpen. We have it around our fireplace but we want it to be 10cms longer so we can open the fireplace door wider. I bought 2x10cm extensions but l'm not sure how to insert them between the end panel and the 2nd end panel, on either side of the playpen. We will then attach the barrier on each side to the wall. Are there spare parts for this????
Did you find out how to install extra panels?
Can you remove 2 panels and can you get more wall brackets to use the extra 2 panels for a different doorway?
I purchased additional panels and brackets through the website. :)
