Munchkin Easy-Close Metal Gate

Saudi V.

weeThink

Let’s face it--when baby becomes mobile, there are countless things for them to get into. The Munchkin Easy-Close Metal Gate closes on its own so when you’re chasing after your little one you don’t have to *also* worry about it being left open accidentally. One key feature is this gate doesn’t require drilling, making it super easy to install, and with it’s wide opening you won’t restrict the doorways of your home too much. It’s also tall enough that baby won’t be able to reach the childproof lock at the top any time soon.

The Catch: Some note that the latch starts to stick as time passes.

  • Great way to keep the door open with peace of mind. My kids can not open it without help, it's easy to install and take down. Aug 31, 2017

  • Recently bought to keep our dog in the kitchen away from baby when we are not able to 100% watch him. Works great and is simple to open Aug 25, 2017

  • Have two of these and they work great. We put them by the stairs and they keep my little ones out. Jun 19, 2017

  • We initially got this to keep the dog and cat out of the bedrooms in our house, but this gate is amazing! Super easy to open with one hand and easy to install! Jun 10, 2017

    Sturdy, works well, and my toddler hasn't figured out how to open it. Be careful not to put too much weight on it while opening the door so the gate doesn't loosen from the wall. Jan 09, 2017

    • Boston, Massachusetts

    Once it is installed (a bit tricky) this gate is great! Looks nice and is sturdy. Apr 26, 2016

  • Great for stairs. We can still get through without having to take it down or step over it, and my 2 year old still hasn't figured out how to open it on his own! Apr 19, 2016

    Easy to use. Vertical bars can't be climbed usually. Great for dogs too. U walk thru like a door. Mar 04, 2016

  • we use this for the top and bottom of our stairs and its helped make everything so much easier! Sep 15, 2017

  • Easy installation/removal - wish the gate was a little more secure at the door opening, baby shaking it makes it seem not extremely sturdy, but enough to do the job May 18, 2017
