Title: Hinges crack, and pressure lock is unreliable
Review: After about 2 months of use, our gate has gone to the trash. I hardware-mounted mine at the top of our stairs and I encountered the same problem as others here have noted, with the plastic hinges splitting and of the unreliable pressure lock that "pops" open.So I went to the local Toys R Us for a different gate and while I was there, they had one on clearance because the locking mechanism had broken on it too - why they would try to sell it is beyond me. Anyway, since it was open I looked at the construction of the lock. It's all plastic, and it is a zig-zag channel with a locking piece that bites into one of the indents when the pressure lock is pushed in. Over time, the channel wears down and the locking piece can't get a good bite in the channel, hence the "pop" you hear when the lock begins to fail.
