Query: Excellent gate for top of steps

We have an older raised ranch style house with wrought iron railings on the stairs. The opening for the stairs is also much wider than most so this was one of the few gates that would fit. This gate is also in a high traffic area so we're constantly opening and closing it. We've had it for more than a year and have been very pleased with it.It took us a few tries to get used to opening and closing it but now we're pros. You can open it silently which is good once the baby is in bed.I would recommend this for anyone because the gate doesn't swing out, requies only one hand, is wider than many and completely retracts when it is not needed. It also works good with a variety of stair railing configurations (we bought the spindle/wrought iron adapter kit).
