Lindam Numi Premium Extending Aluminium Safety Gate

Very easy to fit, I have little DIY knowledge but with a drill and screwdriver had installed this gate snugly in about 20 minutes total. It swings both ways easily, and snaps itself shut with a gentle push. Looks very nice and simple, but I have to admit I would not have been delighted if the width of the gap it filled meant there would not be alternating gaps-and-bars for the whole width (for reference, the manual indicates that you get a majority of solid bars for gap measurements of 67.5-72 and 77.5-82.5 cm, a central patch of four continuous bars for 87.5-92 cm and two adjacent bars for 97.5 - 101 cm ... If I can upload a picture of the guide from the manual I will). Note that there is some flexibility though: eg the manual says my width required two spacers and six continuous bars, but by extending it to the next level, omitting the spacers and fine tuning the adjuster I got the gate to look how I wanted instead. So feel free to experiment if your gap is at the fringes of the range. The screws provided were fully flat and so no issue with them sitting flush as others have highlighted. Likewise, not sure why people had to attach extra bits of wood etc to fit it, unless their walls either side were not remotely straight and in this case I think the product cannot be blamed. One reviewer said pressing down on the bottom of the gate caused it to unlock, meaning his child could unlock the gate by standing on it. I've tried replicating this, but the gate stays locked. My suspicion is the reviewer's adjustor needed to be extended further to better secure the lock, but this if of course only speculation. Finally, I would say it is quite awkward to remove the gate and slide it back into the brackets, so not sure how ideal it is really for grandparents who will want to remove the gate outside of visits. I would not want to be doing that regularly. But if you're happy with a bit of faff there, I can confirm the brackets alone (ie with the gate removed) are very sleek and don't appear to present a significant clothes snagging hazard.

Negative first. It is adjustable to fit all door widths however if you don't use the side extension and adjust the gate itself there are preset positions it adjusts to and you can thereby change the gaps in the bars/struts which does spoil the appearance. If you are like me and want the gate to appear as in the sales pics, with uniform gaps then you have to use the side extension and adjuster. This makes the gate feel a bit flimsy and you narrow your door frame width by up to 4 inches and we now occasionally bang our hips on it. It will fit any door but if you buy it you will be lucky if it fits perfect without the need to adjust the gaps in the bars or use the side adjustment add on. The positives, and why we bought it, are that it is the best looking guard on the market. We are having our kitchen rebuilt soon so we are lucky that we can tell the builder the exact width of frame we need so we can use it without and side add ons or adjustment. In summary it's a good product and I'd give it five stars. If, as you've probably picked up on, a bit anal like me with aesthetics then you might have to slightly compromise on looks (or change your door frame width).

I bought this as a pet barrier and it works perfectly for that. It looks classier than most barriers and you don't have a bar across the floor when open. When closed it seems very sturdy, but I can see that when open it may not resist too much force from the top due to the way the screws are configured. It opens quietly but does make some noise when closing.. You do need some space above the barrier on the wall to be able to install it.

Looks, Looks and Looks! Suits my house better than any white goods looking metal gates. Full opening, walk-through design good. Aligned spindles on pre-set locking positions ensure good looks. But that made fine adjustment of width tricky, only solved with extension bars and adjustable locking side (ITS). Mounting clears any skirting so can avoid drilling into skirting. It is very heavy and the tiny screws came with it can just about support the weight at full length. Broke straightaway after a small child standing on the bottom rails at the far end! Major design flaw! Broken for the 3rd time, I've changed to 6x60mm screws (>2x length of original screws) with full length plastic fixings into solid wall, hopefully it will stay this time! The lock side doesn't really share much weight of the gate, unlike other walk through designs (Baby Dan, Mothercare), which the gate latches and *sits into* a wall fixing on the closing side. This means active children trying to force open the gate is only up against the top screw on the swing side. The swing side mounting only has 3 screws aligned vertically, lacking any strength against levering forces when I'm using two extension bars. The weak mounting doesn't stand a chance if you frequently remove and install the gate (e.g. for visiting grandchildren). I'd say you need to replace the original screws with much longer ones with full length fixings if you want it to be robust. I would not mount it on a hollow wall. Probably deserve 3.5 stars with all things considered, but I'm very annoyed by the poor mounting design even though it looks great.

Different to any gate I have seen before. It seems well thought out and well made. Reasonably easy to fit, but if you are fitting to a stair post with a protruding cap it is impossible to slide the sections down into position. The answer I found was to gently knock up the cap on the post until it was removed, fit the gate then refit the cap. If you are fitting to flat surfaces there would be no problem. In use the release is reasonably easy and the gate can just be pushed closed and locks itself. It is easy to adjust for width, and can be micro adjusted to get it just right. I think we may well buy a second one.

The gate did not fit the channels it was supposed to as the screws (which secure it to the wall) stood proud of the base plate, despite being low profile ones. Admittedly one of the screws had gone in very slightly at an angle but it was minute. My father also has one of these gates and he is very technically capable and he had a nightmare fitting it too, needing to use the extension kit and fix a wooden block to the wall in order to make it fit. When we eventually got it fitted it worked ok for a bit (though the catch to open it was very stiff) but after two weeks it broke. We managed to reposition the spring inside (which had slipped) and it worked again but a week later it broke and cannot now be repaired. These are a fantastic design in theory, being width adjustable and easy to remove so you can pop them in when the kids come to visit but don't have to put up with them all the time. But they are just such poor quality that they are a total waste of money.

Operates well and much safer than our horrible old removable gate, that required Herculean effort to wind the fittings tight enough to press the catch together, and also had a built in granny tripper across the threshold! The gate adjusts in approximately 2inch stages and comes with two spacer pieces. You are given a range of widths and according to how far out the 2inch stages are you need to use 0, 1 or 2 spacers. I needed 0 spacers but although strangely the spacers slid easily into the wall mounted channels and also into the hinge mounted on the gate, the hinge would not slide into the mounting channel without lots of force resulting in fine strips of plastic shaving off. I was certain that I would never have been able to remove it if I had pushed it fully home. After copious amounts of silicone spray and even more copious amounts of expletives, I finally solved it by fitting a 21mm thick packing piece of wood to the wall which then meant I was able to adjust the gate to need 2 spacers, after which it went in very neatly. I don't know if others have had this trouble or whether the hinge on mine was one of a faulty batch, but for that reason I have marked it as 3 star otherwise it would have got a 5. EDIT. my Son in Law had a similar problem with fitting it and had to take the Dremel tool to it before it fitted! So I have dropped it from a three to a two star rating.

Looks great and was particularly useful for us as it can be mounted ABOVE skirting boards and so no need for extensions, or skirting board kits / adaptors. It was simple to install and does the job nicely. A premium price for a premium product - however we were disappointed to find it arrived with scratches and scuff marks to the aluminium (see photos). Considering we had already returned another brand of gate due to not being suitable to fix above skirting boards, we were unable to go through another refund, return and re-order process given the despirate need for it, and so we contacted Amazon customer support via the online chat feature. They were absolutely fantastic and imidietly offered a partial refund to negate the scuffs and scratches, which seemed a fair compromise. This is while I'll ALWAYS buy from Amazon where possible.

Wir haben sehr lange nach einem Gitter gesucht, das sich einerseits leicht wie eine Tür öffnen und schließen lässt, und das andererseits die nötige Stabilität besitzt, um nicht vom Kind auseinandergenommen zu werden und damit mehr zu schaden als zu schützen. Die Numi-Gitter sind die einzigen, die wir gefunden haben, die diese beiden Bedingungen erfüllen. Die Stabilität wird durch die großflächige Aufhängung mit jeweils drei Wandschrauben auf jeder Seite sowie durch den zweinasigen Verschluss erreicht, zu letzterem habe ich ein Produktbild eingestellt. Die Anleitung zur Montage ist sehr seriös und ausführlich und erklärt Schritt für Schritt die korrekte Breiteneinstellung (auch die ist sehr solide, es gibt auf der Lindam-Website ein Video zur Montage) und alle weiteren Montageschritte. Wichtigstes Thema ist die Wandbeschaffenheit, hier sollte man den Warnhinweis aus der Anleitung ernst nehmen und sich bei Bedarf passende Dübel und Schrauben beschaffen - was nützt das stabilste Gitter, wenn die Schraube nur in einer Putzschicht sitzt? Ich persönlich habe erst bei dieser Gelegenheit gelernt, was einem alles Böses bei Wänden passieren kann und was für schier unglaubliche Dübelkonstruktionen es für die jeweiligen Fälle mittlerweile gibt. Fest an den Wänden montiert wird nicht das Gitter selbst, sondern nur zwei flache Montageschienen. In diese werden dann das Türgelenk (Schiene 1) und das Gegenstück zur Türklinke (Schiene 2) von oben eingeführt. Das ist dann ein Problem, wenn die Wand oberhalb der Schiene einen Vorsprung hat. Dieses Problem ist aber nicht unlösbar, auch hierzu habe ich ein Produktbild eingestellt. Die Montage über das Einschieben in die flachen Schienen hat den Vorteil, dass man das Gitter leicht entfernen kann, wenn es nicht mehr gebraucht wird, und dann nur die beiden vergleichsweise unauffälligen Schienen an der Wand verbleiben. Vorsicht: das Herausschieben aus den Schienen erfordert im Gegensatz zumn Einschieben Kraft und Geschick, und es wird fast zu einer Unmöglichkeit, wenn bei der Montage statt der beiligenden Schrauben solche mit zu hohen Köpfen verwendet wurden. Zum Verschluss (siehe Produktbild): Das gleichzeitige Hochziehen des einen Teils des Verschlusses und Herunterdrücken des anderen ist mit einer Erwachsenenhand, die dabei auf dem oberen Querbalken ruht, kein Problem. Für kleine Kinderhände ist es aber nahezu ein Ding der Unmöglichkeit: den Griff der Eltern kopieren können sie nicht, weil sie mit einer Hand nicht gleichzeitig an beide Elemente herankommen, und die Koordination und Kraft für einen Versuch mit beiden Händen haben sie auch noch nicht. Die Tür schwenkt nach vorn und hinten um je 90° auf. Schließen kann man sie wie normale Türen entweder langsam mit Betätigung des Öffnungsmechanismus oder durch einfaches zufallen lassen, wobei letzteres ganz schön laut ist. Wir haben seit ein paar Monaten zwei solche Gitter im Einsatz (oben & unten an einer Treppe), es haben sich in der Praxis keine Probleme ergeben. Fazit: dieses Gitter ist m.W. konkurrenzlos im Punkt Sicherheit und sein Geld in jedem Fall mehr als wert. Eine klare Empfehlung!

Great gate very happy with the quality. Only thing is they are a bit noisy to open and close

Gentili signori, non so di chi sia la responsabilità tuttavia ci tenevo a precisare he se acquisto e pago un prodotto nuovo, mi aspetto che lo sia. Non che presenti evidenti segni di usura dovuti a utilizzo. Sono molto dispiaciuto dell'accaduto valuterò attentamente ogni altro acquisto attraverso il portale di amazone

Pas de seuil, réglable en largeur, montage facile, ferme en la claquant, s'ouvre facilement avec un système sécurisé par deux boutons, excellente qualité et beau rendu....Vraiment le TOP Nous avons une maison à 3 étages et avons positionné cette barrière au niveau bas, salon cuisine, autant dire que nous montons 5 à 6 fois par jours, cette barrière ne constitue absolument pas un freins à nos deplacement tant son focntionnement est optimal... A l'étage nous avons 2 autres autre barrière sans seuil d'une autre marques ( Safety first) très correcte, la fluidité de circulation n'est tout de même pas la même et nous ne les fermons qu lorsque le bébé est en liberté à l'étage mais pas au quotidien...

Sencilla y práctica puerta de buen aspecto. Necesitaba una puerta para el porche para que no se pudiesen bajar los perros al jardín y destrozarlo, después de buscar en muchos sitios soluciones, vi ésta puerta de aluminio adaptable al ancho y con un aspecto estupendo. Es sencilla de instalar y muy funcional. Cumple perfecta con su función y no desmerece para nada su aspecto con la barandilla que tengo, aunque sea verde la que tengo.
