Title: Locking Mechanism is a No Go
Review: So excited to get this. It works well, stays up nice and sturdy, small enough to step over easily, but tall enough to stymie our year old girl. But it always took (notice the use of past tense) me a couple of minutes to get the damn thing to lock every time. I put it in the right slot, and it always slipped out into another one. Then the metal brackets slip out when I'm trying to lock the locking mechanism in place.Fortunately, my lovely wife snapped the locking bar in two less than a week after we got it. We went to Target and got a The First Years Safety Latch Gate (First Years Item #: Y7187A). It took about 11 seconds to install and lock it in place. Just pull a plastic lever down and pop it in a notch. Even my wife can do it.
