Baby gates only work if they"re closed, and they only close if you remember to shut them, right? Not so with the North States Auto Close Gate, which automatically closes and locks from any position. You"ll never have to worry that you left the gate open again, since it will compensate for your parental absentmindedness all by itself. Adults can open the security latch with one hand, a plus since the other will probably be holding a baby. Made from white powder coated metal, this pressure mounted gate is easy to install using the child-proof locking hand wheel with a built-in mounting cup. It"s sturdy enough to be JPMA approved for top of stairs installation. Various extensions are sold separately to ensure a perfect fit with any size doorway or opening up to 125 inches wide total.
