Adjustable Steel Gate North States Superyard Review
First, I want to say I have not yet completely
installed this product but I like it already. The gates themselves are
solid. They have nice bumper pads on the bottom so as to not scratch
the wood floors in my home. The gate itself is extremely safe but a
little difficult to open. If you have looked at other gates you will
often find ones of parents complaining that their toddler figured out
how to open it on their own. That would be extremely difficult here as
it has a locking button that must be pressed before the gate is then
lifted to be opened. The gate only swings one direction which is too
bad and could've been fixed with a different style hinge. That sections
themselves can be pressure locked into place, making this a very stable
play-yard/large gate for your home. Sections can be easily lifted out
and removed or added back in. This thing is very versitile in terms of
configuration. BUT it has one really stupid design flaw that can be
fixed by the consumer but should've just been done by the manufacturer
in the first place.
THE FLAW:
The gate sections interlock at the hinge and then are held into place by screwing in a support bar. At each hinge, there is one side that goes up and ones side that goes down (male and female for simplicity's sake). Thus you need one male and one female hinge to fit together for the sections to interlock. The other aspect to this is that if you are hooking the play-yard up to a wall or you are using this as a large gate, the top bracket to hook this to the wall is also male or female (you get one of each in the box). The final piece to this is that rather than making each gate section have one female and one male hinge piece on each side, the company decided to make each gate section have two male or two female hinge pieces.
