Although this gate is very pretty once you get installed, I had to hire a carpenter to interpret the instructions. He installed it twice and the locking mechanism would not work. I finally gave it a go myself (after 3 mos) and finally got it to work. I would recommend that these instructions be overhauled. They were probably written in a foreign language and then translated to English. Something gets lost in the translation. Get more detail about Home Décor Stair Gate - Dark Auburn.
