One of my favorite companies to purchase products from is Summer Infant. They have a wide selection of infant and toddler products that not only make a new parents life less stressful but their prices are great. I first became aware of Summer Infant when I was pregnant with my son Jeremy and I continue to be impressed with the quality and style of their products. Recently we were on the lookout for a new safety gate and came across the Sure and Secure Deluxe Top of the Stairs Wood Walk-Through Gate and it looked like the perfect addition to our home.
The Sure&Secure® Deluxe Top of Stairs Wood Walk-Thru Gate combines the features most desirable to parents – walk-through doorway, attractive design, and top and bottom of stairs compatibility. Additionally, this gate swings shut automatically, making it even more convenient to use!

- Pressure mount option – won’t mar walls
- Furniture-like finish
- Walk-through door closes automatically
- One-handed operation
- Fits openings 29.5” and 40.5”
- 29” high
- Includes two extensions
Even though Aubrey is three we still like to keep a safety gate in the doorway of our kitchen just to be on the safe side. I also like to bake a lot in the kitchen especially in the spring time and having the gate allows me to let freshly baked cookies cool down without the fear of Aubrey burning her little curious fingers.
The security gate is great because it can work with different size doorway openings with the two extensions. We only ended up having to use one extension but we stored the other one in the box in case we ever moved and need a larger gate.
There is really not much hardware to install the gate. Since we were not installing the gate at the top of stairs we chose to just use the pressure mounts. If your are installing at the top of stairs there is special equipment to screw the gate into the wall for added safety. From the look of the instructions this seems to be pretty easy to do.
Above is a picture of the gate pulled directly out of the box. The wooden gate itself is pretty much all put together you just have to measure your doorway to determine how many, if any, extensions you will need. The gate is incredibly easy to install! I just inserted on of the extensions into the right side of the gate.
The gate is also great for dogs. We put our two four-legged friends in the kitchen when we are gone and also at night so they don’t get into things there aren’t suppose to. I love the dark colored wood of this gate, it’s very appealing and will go with pretty much any color walls. We just happened to have the same color of kitchen cabinets so it really stands out in our kitchen doorway.
The pressure mounts on the side have a protective cushion to protect your walls from damage. To tighten them you just turn the dial or you can use the special wrench that is included. I tightened up the gate myself and it hasn’t moved at all, even after having a large amount of traffic go in and out over the last few weeks.
To open the gate there is a small button on the top the you slide back with your finger while pulling up on the gate. It’s very easy to open for an adult but not for kids. Jeremy my almost 7 year old knows how to use the gate but Aubrey hasn’t been able to figure it out. We are loving our new gate and it’s been a major help with keeping not only my little one safe but also my pets. If your on the lookout for a new safety gate I recommend you check out Summer Infants wide selection of gates.
