It has a wider opening than some of the others, installation was really easy Easy to open with one hand, no awkward lift and pinch motion here. It was extremely easy to mount, I just put it in the desired doorway and used the included tool to set wall mounts to correct tension and spacing and I was done. The bar across the bottom to step over is smaller than another brand gate that is cheaper and a top seller. The design is very well thought out, you can leave the door open to swing both ways or there's a little adapter stand below that can lock in the swing direction. Closing the gate is easy too, pushed hard enough and it will close, you don't need to finger/thumb press.

I install 2 units of safety gate in my house which is the beginning & the end of the staircase. This is to prevent baby falls down from staircase. The price is acceptable too.
