Title: They have fixed the design
Review: We bought our first Secure Stair Gate 3 years ago on the advice of friends. It worked very well until... you guessed it, the latch knob broke and the gate was stuck shut (not a safety issue for us since we use this to stop children from going into the basement).I read many reviews and was skeptical enough about buying another one that I contacted The First Years. They didn't offer me a free gate or anything, but they did reassure me that the latch has been redesigned.Our new replacement Secure Stair Gate does indeed have a different latch mechanism, and it has not yet broken. The latch portion is still riveted (screws would allow me to fix it myself), but I am willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and assume that the redesign has made this a better gate. It fit into our existing hinge and latch plates, so no new holes were required to fit the new one into the old doorway.
Is the review positive or negative?
