Summary: Great quality gate
Comment: I just received this gate, and I am very pleased that it is all metal- no plastic hinges or latches that I hear of breaking on many of the other models. I like the fact, too, that Cardinal Gates only makes gates. Seems like the other brands that are cheaply made don't concentrate enough on the construction of theirs.
Installation wasn't too bad. It took some time to get everything just right so it latches properly. Pretty simple instructions. Opening is not as easy as other gates, but it is definitely much safer!! The only way I see an accident happening is if you forget to relatch it after going through (doesn't do it automatically) or if you don't mount it properly and it comes out of the wall (don't see that happening.) There is no way the gate itself could break.
Make sure to mount everything level. Also, I got the impression from their website that it came with clamps to attach to a rail, which I guess you would buy separately. I just mounted mine into drywall on both sides, so I didn't need it anyway.

Summary: This is a wonderful gate!!
Comment: This is an excellent gate. I think the previous reviewer must have installed it incorrectly because my gate opens very easily ... easily for an adult, anyway. You can open it with one hand while you have your child in the other. It is a high quality product. You can tell it is very sturdy.

Summary: Stairway special foils parents as well as children
Comment: I was initially impressed with the all steel construction of this baby gate. The installation was pretty straight forward until you have to align everything. This is were it all fell apart. I took me an hour adjusting the mounts and eye screws that help you level the gate. My wife had to remind me that this was a 77 dollar gate and I shouldn't destroy it in a fit of anger. I finally got the gate to easily rest in the mount. There are two latching mechanisms. The first requires the user too lift the gate out of its dock position. This was easily accomplished. The second lock clamps around the top hitch. I realized the tolerances on this lock were so tight that any hope of one handed unlocking would be impossible. It took my wife 5 minutes before she could unlock it. The mechanism is simple. It's just so difficult to get the thing to unlock. May in version 2 they will fix this.
