It latches about 70 percent of the time perfectly

Would Recommend

The bar seems just a tad thick, slightly affects latching, I always double check my gate, so not a huge issue, but I have caught it unlatched a couple of times. Scary if you get complacent.

Out of stock

This order was only partially filled. The website said the 7-inch gate hinges I needed to go along with this item were in stock at my local store. But then my order was cancelled and the reason given was that the hinges were out of stock. Even after I received the cancellation notice, the website still showed the hinges as being in stock at the local store. Sounds like someone has an inventory management problem. I’ll think twice before ordering something online from Lowe’s again
