Glad I found this video. This gate was making me feel really stupid. Glad to know I’m not the only one who struggled with this. Sad thing is, the older version of this gate was much easier to use with an adjustable metal clamping system that didn’t have the stupid plastic clip and measurement notches. I think this new version was designed by somebody who never actually had to use it. I’m taking this piece of junk back to the store tomorrow.
Thank you! The new gate version is needlessly difficult and the directions leave much to be desired. I appreciate you taking the time to post and explain!!
Thank you very much. I couldn’t get the plastic lock unlocked, but watching this helped a lot. The gate broke in like two seconds, but I didn’t expect much
I missed where you did or did not use the 4 mounting pieces. Either way I’m returning mine today because you’re right, it’s very hard to use and plus I had to spend a hour looking for the magnifying glass for the instructions in MICROMINI-print! TY for the video
Thank you so much for saving my sanity. I had the older, simpler version years ago when my children were babies and thought I was buying the same thing. I was struggling so much with using this terrible version! Unfortunately I bought it months ago in preparation for taking care of grandchildren so cannot return this piece of junk. I will have to live with it but at least I know I'm not crazy!! Thank you again for taking the time to help others with your most informative and honest review.
Yes they changed the clamp on the end. I took forever and came here before I finally learned how to use it. Also it's a lot flimsier than it used to be. I had a bunch of these years ago and they were fine and study. And of course instructions are terrible on everything nowadays. Thanks.
I too was having real trouble figuring out the plastic latch thing, but when I did, my gate didn't bow in the middle at all when installed in the doorway. Now that I've been using it for a couple of weeks I think I like it better than the original.
Thank you this was given to me for free or I wouldn't have bought it but after your video I was able to do it no problem I sat there for a good 5 minutes trying it and I got pretty close but watching your video just sealed the deal now my bathroom is safe and my baby can't just push the door open until I can fix the locking mechanism on the door in here you have to put in a maintenance request to do anything and I tried the toilet bowl lock and that just does not stick no matter how well I prep the surface and and follow the directions it always unsticks so I was left with getting this gate and it was given to me by a mother and child service so I was also just checking to see if it was recalled so thank you for your video. Long-winded comment but I was very frustrated😊
I bought this and have the same one that lasted for years only the locking clamp has changed. I personally recommend it since my first one is going on 15 years. I use these gates for dogs or cats.
I just bought this gate and had no idea how to use it. Instructions are really confusing. Thank you for your video. I really think I will return mine. I hate it!
Unfortunately, I just bought this to keep the dogs away from my husband while he is recovering from surgery. Thank you for explaining the install. The written instructions confused me. Even Flo should pay you for honest review
I think you would have to screw the mounting caps on the wall. I never got to that as I found it really flimsy and then returned it to the store immediately. 😊thanks for watching, and commenting. Pls do us a favor and subscribe, okay? Thanks in advance
It's bent because your using it for a walkway and not a doorway opening. Ideally it is too wide for this style gate. It is supposed to be used for a much smaller area usually with a door.
Thank you so much! If at least I knew that this is so flimsy that my 16 weeks old Bichon Frisé ( small puppy) will knock it down soon, I wouldn't buy it. Very difficult to manage. Extremely bad designed.
For the price it’s worth it if you don’t mind a little work. I don’t like that plastic locking clamp, either. And the instructions are invisible to me, pale tiny print.
I just found it too flimsy and difficult to remove/install every now and then as I have other small kids so I returned it 🙂 thanks for watching and pls dont forget to subscribe
Glad i didn't buy. Found better products in the market! I can imagine the hassle everytime I had to go to the other side of that gate! Horrible product 😂 Thanks for the review!
Lol u don't recommend it but you made it very easy for me and it works but you did forget the extra parts that come with it to secure it better on the wall. Thanks
I thought I was the only one that couldnt figure out how to use this gate. I use it for my dog and had the older one that made sense, but it broke but this one right here is not good. I think im going to take it back. And try to find something else.
I took a picture of the instructions and enlarged it in my phone and my vision is pretty good. I don’t use glasses I just had my eyes checked. These instructions are ridiculous. What about that damn security latch it comes with.
This fucking locking bar completely sucks. I just purchased four from Walmart. I have 4 old one still in my house. They are so fucking simple. I can’t take this shit. They are all going back.

Hahaha yeah, I think the designer got fired haha
Agree! The “new” is definitely NOT improved. Ugh!
ME TOO!!! 😂 And I have a BA from SMU. 😅
What was wrong with the metal clamp down version? It’s much more simple
Oh! And I didn’t find any of these on the shelves at Walmart…I think you’re right, the designer got FIRED 🎉😂😂😂😂

Yeah, it was not worth it...
I was cursing up a storm and came THIS CLOSE to smashing this gate into pieces ….until I saw this video. 😂 Thank you!!
Hahaha that made me laugh... glad I was able to help a bit. Thanks for watchinh pls do subscribe thank you
It’s junk. DO NOT BUY!
Wish I would have seen your video before purchasing this difficult gate.
Yeah. I refunded mine and just got a couple of those plastic ones
Older style was so much easier to use.
Yes it was. This is a dumb “upgrade”.

I’m glad I found your video. I was struggling!!! Thanks for your help!
I just purchased this newer version of the gate for my mom's little dog. The older gate design is certainly easier to use! Finally got it though 😅
I’m so glad I came across this video because I was like “am I doing it right? There’s no way that I don’t know how to use it” lol 😂
Thank you! I was about to give up!
You just have to sit and mess with it a few minutes to figure it out. I have used 3 of these gates for dogs

Thank you so much!! The directions are impossible!
Hahaha yeah some instructions are really difficult to understand, they make it like rocket science

You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
Had to come to you tude to figure out how to use a baby gate 😂what happened to the old school ones that where easy to use 😂
Dang , my puppy can go under this gate because of the floor molding.😮
What a headache 🤕 😂
I returned it on the same day. Very flimsy
I couldn't get the plastic lock all the way back in place one I got the width.
It's bent because your using it for a walkway and not a doorway opening. Ideally it is too wide for this style gate. It is supposed to be used for a much smaller area usually with a door.
We just got this and I absolutely hate it! I won’t even give it away, it’s going in trash since I can’t find my receipt 🤬
Thank you so much! If at least I knew that this is so flimsy that my 16 weeks old Bichon Frisé ( small puppy) will knock it down soon, I wouldn't buy it. Very difficult to manage. Extremely bad designed.
Yeah guaranteed that will happen. Thanks for watching and pls subscribe! Thanks in advance
Thank you for this video. This gate made me feel very uneducated 😂
I’m using for my dog
For the price it’s worth it if you don’t mind a little work. I don’t like that plastic locking clamp, either. And the instructions are invisible to me, pale tiny print.
I just found it too flimsy and difficult to remove/install every now and then as I have other small kids so I returned it 🙂 thanks for watching and pls dont forget to subscribe
I didn’t understand instructions thanks for showing us
No way is the quality of this kid safe! I wonder how this product was even approved to be used around kids.
that gate mechanism is stupid. thanks for the video. thought it was me
You're welcome. And yeah, it is a bit flimsy. Thanks for watching, please do subscribe. Thanks
Glad i didn't buy. Found better products in the market! I can imagine the hassle everytime I had to go to the other side of that gate! Horrible product 😂 Thanks for the review!
You are very welcome! Pls do me a favor and dont forget to subscribe!
Which product you bought? I need for 18 months old baby to prevent from getting into kitchen.
I just need to open it…no one shows how to open it 😩
How do you remove the medal things that makes the door slide open and close
You gotta be strong to lock the plastic piece on 😂 other than that it works
Lol u don't recommend it but you made it very easy for me and it works but you did forget the extra parts that come with it to secure it better on the wall. Thanks
Hahaha well what can I say 😄 thanks for watching the video and pls dont forget to subscribe than you
No one is going to measure their doorway
I thought I was the only one that couldnt figure out how to use this gate. I use it for my dog and had the older one that made sense, but it broke but this one right here is not good. I think im going to take it back. And try to find something else.
Yeah, I returned it immidiately.
I hate this gate 🤣
Me too that is why I returned it immediately
This thing is junk
thanks
You are welcome! Pls subscribe ❤️
The instructions are not only tiny and hard to see, they are HORRIBLE to understand!!!
Lol a little common sense would go a long way for all of you complaining about this gate
Fyd here then
Mine broke immediately when trying to install, garbage product
This is easily the worst downgrade to a product! Easy ass clamp did just fine, now they have this shit sliding clamp that barely holds
This thing is a total piece of junk do not buy it
Yeah, I returned it and got a plastic one instead
I took a picture of the instructions and enlarged it in my phone and my vision is pretty good. I don’t use glasses I just had my eyes checked. These instructions are ridiculous. What about that damn security latch it comes with.
