North States Supergate Top-Notch Gate

We bought three and are very pleased. No, these are not a design statement, but neither are the wood versions at or near this price point. They use the same lever bar principle, but the notches are a little more closely spaced than the wood gate we have, which makes for a easier/better fit in the door frame. These are also much more rugged and appear will be durable. These are only 23" tall which is great for our Pomeranian and can easily be stepped over; a mid-sized dog or a jumper, or an older baby - not sure if this is tall enough.



The "memory" feature does actually work, as long as you don't put so much pressure on the lever bar such that it bows. The notches allow the metal locking pin to snap into the notch. It does take a bit of force though to push the pin out of the notch once it's in there. But releasing, removing, and replacing the gate in the same opening is a snap. That said, I don't know that I would want to be having to repeatedly change the gate from one location to another because it does require some effort to pull the two panels apart.

And of course, a great price. Very good value.
