Ingenuity The Doorway 36S Series Custom Collection Safety Pet and Baby Gate - Natural Wood

Bought this to install as a hinge gate in a doorway. Like others, this would be in a standard size door. However, the hinge function does NOT work at the 30" minimum range. If you are buying this to use as a swing gate within a doorway, I would make sure you have at least 32" width to work with. Sidenote: the instructions are also not intuitive at all. Be ready to look up videos to discern how to install.

I am trying to install safety gates on the second level of my extremely typical American 1970's colonial style townhome and I have been unable to get anything of quality that either fits in the bedroom doorways (30" wide) or to extend the stair banister across a gap of 33" to the wall. Nothing fits. I bought these to install them hinge style in two doorways but they only fit 31-32" wide doors. A standard interior door is 30". I already opened both boxes and laid everything out for assembly and now I will be repacking and taping these up. Good luck to whoever buys this junk off the repackage shelf.

You’re not stuck having a stark white gate or an unfinished wood color that clashes with the look of your home. Instead, you can customize it to blend in making it aesthetic and barely even noticeable! It’s over 2 feet tall so it’s the perfect height to do the job and it’s sturdy and well made.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very nice doorway gate. The gate is made of wood and looks so nice. It was easy to install. I went with hardware mounted, but it can also be pressure mounted. I really like that the door swings both ways. It makes things so much easier. The gate is very well made and feels stable and secure. I really like it and definitely recommend it.

This gate is very sturdy and reliable. installing this gate was so simple and easy to do. my husband loves how easy it is to open and close. my toddler do not like it because he can not figure out to open it like the previous baby gate. its so pretty love that it comes with extension so we plan on moving it upstairs since the baby is crawling now. Good construction and solid wood .

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pleasantly surprised with this baby and dog gate from Ingenuity. The gate is made of good quality and I love that it is customizable. It’s lightweight and I love the blonde wood base color. It’s got a very minimalist, simple look out of the box. Love how durable and secure this gate is. It was very easy to install. I appreciate that the full gate door swings open in both directions. Love that there is not a trip hazard at the bottom of the gate like you see with some gates. Overall a great basic gate that is stable, secure and nice looking. Highly recommend this baby and dog gate!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Assembly definitely requires two people — the instructions were confusing, so I ended up figuring it out through trial and error. The center section rolls out like wooden mattress slats and feels flimsy, especially considering the force a toddler might apply. While the gate looks nice, I wouldn’t recommend it based on durability.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We’ve been using the Ingenuity Doorway 36S Series Customizable Baby Gate in our home, and it has truly exceeded expectations. Not only does it provide the safety and reliability we need for our little one, but it also manages to look fantastic in our space. Most baby gates tend to be a bit of an eyesore, but this one blends right into our eclectic interior — it even adds a touch of personality with its colorful gradient design.Installation was quick and hassle-free, and once in place, the gate feels incredibly sturdy and secure. The swing mechanism is smooth and easy for adults to operate, yet still secure enough to keep curious toddlers from wandering. What we appreciate most is how it manages to serve its purpose without disrupting the warmth or aesthetic of our home. It's not often that you find baby gear that’s both functional and stylish, but this gate manages to do both beautifully. We’re really happy with it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a safer home without sacrificing style.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this gate! It’s more elegant than your traditional baby gates since it’s a pretty wood. It can even be painted or stained! We pressure mounted ours and it’s very sturdy. It can also be hardware mounted if preferred. We’ve only had it up for a couple weeks but it definitely seems like it will stand up to our 3 kids and dog!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] A gate that actually works and can be personalized to match your decor?? Who knew this existed—and why did it take me so long to find it?! I LOVE this. The wood is high quality, so I’m not worried about my dogs or toddlers damaging it. Staining it was super easy and took almost no effort. It does its job and looks cute doing it. Highly recommend—I’ll definitely be buying more!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This wood gate looks really nice and since it can be painted or stained, it will blend seamlessly for most homes, which is a big plus. You have the option to hardware mount (hardware included) or pressure mount and the ability to extend the gate from 30 to 36 inches. For now, we have this as-is (no stain or paint) and pressure mounted. It was pretty quick to assemble and install the gate, although I do intend to stain it eventually. The gate is easy to open and operate.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As a mom of three and a pet owner, I’ve been through more baby gates than I can count. I’ve never seen one like this one and it is hands down my favorite. It’s sturdy, safe and actually looks good in my home because you can customize it!! I love that the wood panels come ready to paint or stain and honestly it looks beautiful just left natural. We did stain in a beautiful mahogany. We used the pressure mount option. Easy to do and no damage to our walls at all. The height is just right to keep both my toddler and infant safe without feeling like a fence. Setup was simple and it fits our space perfectly.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Ingenuity The Doorway 36S Series Custom Collection Safety Gate offers a practical solution for child and pet safety. Its pressure or hardware mounting options provide flexibility for various installations. The natural wood panels are a nice touch, allowing for customization to match home decor. However, some users have reported that the gate may appear slightly off-center if the red zip tie is removed prematurely during installation, though this can be corrected with proper setup. Additionally, while the gate is designed to fit openings from 30" to 36" wide, it's important to measure your space accurately to ensure a proper fit. Overall, it's a functional gate with room for improvement in installation guidance.

It doesn’t look bulky or out of place in our home, which is a huge bonus. The clean lines and neutral colors blend well with our decor, so I don’t feel like we sacrificed aesthetics for safety.
