I agree with the other reviews that say it takes a while to put up because it's difficult to adjust to the correct width and lock into place. I also have the problem of not having perfectly parallel walls so that the gate does not make contact at all 4 points. I thought originally that not having to install hardware would be nice and we could move the gate from one doorway to another throughout the day as needed, but the gate is difficult to use and not very sturdy and thus useless.

My wife got a bit overenthused with the operating handle and snapped it. I called North States support and they had a replacement handle to me in a few days!

I have used these gates for several months. They serve their purpose, though they are remarkably frustrating to adjust, especially with a child at your heels. My problem with them now is that my 18 month old can climb the gate. I did not think of this months ago when I purchased the gates. The holes are large enough for him to fit his feet into, and the plastic is sturdy enough to provide him support to climb over. That makes these gates entirely pointless and unsafe.

We purchased this gate to put at the top of the stairs in our rented split-foyer. The diagram for installation of hinge hardware shows the casement hinges to be installed at 3" and 23" from the floor -- this turned out to be not high enough off the floor for the door hinge to rest on the casement hinge, as not only does the door extend more than 3" below the bottom hinge, but in this setup the base moulding on the wall obstructs operation of the gate -- and also too much distance between hinges, as the door hinges are 17" apart, not 20". This was aggravating since I followed the instructions, then had to remove the hinges from the wall and start over trying to install it another way, leaving ugly holes in my wall.
Also, I realized that the instructions warn not to install the hardware in sheetrock or plaster, only in solid wood or metal. How many places in your home are the walls sold wood? Almost nowhere; walls in almost every home I have been inside in my lifetime are either plaster or sheetrock. Perhaps the manufacturer thinks we all live in Keebler elf trees. The stubby little screws included don't do enough to secure the hinges to a sheetrock or plaster wall, but I thought maybe the metal corner bead would be "metal" enough. I was mistaken.
There is also no good way to install the door sockets. According to the instructions, you should "mount" the square pieces of foam tape into the recessed areas on the back, then remove the backing to expose the adhesive that affixes them to the wall. This makes no sense at all, because the tape is only adhesive on one side, so it can't attach to both the sockets and to the wall. I considered using the two extra screws to mount them, but each socket only has one screw hole, at the top, which allows the socket to swing.
Once I had it set up, it could not have withstood the force of my unusually small seven-month old falling onto it. Extending and retracting the gate was also aggravatingly difficult, enough that one risks yanking the hinges out of the wall trying to pull on it.
With a little ingenuity, you might be able to get this gate to work in a doorway in the pressure-hold installation. You would need to invest in some drywall screws long enough to get through to a stud, and drill extra holes in the door-sockets. For that much trouble, you might just want to buy one that's designed better to begin with.

The Supergate III is awesome. It is a standard gate that does it's job and does it well. I have a 36 LB 2 year old, 8 yr old, 10 yr old, a 40 LB dog and 2 cats.
The gate is easy to adjust. Just point the adjustable arm down and adjust the gate to fit the opening. It slides easily and if necessary, can be adjusted with 1 hand. If you don't point the adjustable arm down, it won't slide. In which case you may find yourself winding the arm to adjust the gate. To those that do? "Ha ha, you're an idiot!"
To the engineer: Look at the gate, see how it works before you complain that it doesn't.
It doesn't take paint off my walls and I have a cheap home built by DR Horton. It keeps my kid and the dog behind the gate just fine. The only time the gate didn't hold was when you fail to clear the gate when going over it, which only happend 3 times in the 6 months I owned the gate. My 4 and a half foot tall daughter gets by the gate with no problem.
At night I take down the gate and collapse it down and open it up when I need it. If you require instructions to know how to operate gate then this is not the gate for you. I love this gate and own 2 of them.
