Title: Too much plastic
Product review: We bought two of these gates. One has been up for only a week, and we have already had two problems with it. The top of the gates was hard to keep secure (the part that locks it in place is plastic), and the second problem: the wind-up mechanism broke! This gate is almost made of ALL PLASTIC, inside and out. The plastic pieces that keep the spring loaded thing wound-up inside malfunctioned. We had to take the whole thing apart, it took us over an hour to fix it. If the gate was made out of a harder, stronger plastic, and had METAL pieces inside to keep it working well, it would be an awesome gate. It is good idea, and it is nice to have it out of the way when it is rolled up. BUT, for the price of this gate, it should not be made out so much plastic!
