It’s really hard to open but also really hard to close. As in many adults can’t do either and DH usually just climbs over it, at the top of our stairs. Since it’s so annoying to close we often don’t bother. </p> <p>But if it’s someplace you never need to open it then it’s a good option.</p> <p>Regalo Top Of Stairs Expandable Metal Gate, With Mounting Kit, White <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003VNKLI4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_4YjMAbAB0W0QS" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003VNKLI4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_4YjMAbAB0W0QS</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gate-thats-hard-to-open-recommendations#post-2807065 Thu, 01 Mar 2018 19:03:43 +0000 jhd 2807065@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have this in white.

I’m also open to a gate that isn’t the walk through style if necessary. </p> <p>Any recommendations? </p>
