Rank #8 in Best Pet Gate 2026: What the Width Field Really Says
Safety 1st Easy Close Metal Stair Gate 73-80cm, Pressure Fit, Black
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The Safety 1st Easy Close gate costs £29.03 and is rated 4.4 stars from 7,338 ratings, fitting 73 to 80cm and extending to 108cm.
It takes eighth because the mechanism and the record are good, while its own fields call a black gate grey and give its closure type as feather.
How those 7,338 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.4 stars.

Questions people ask
Is it black or grey?
The title says black and the item type and colour fields say grey, so check the image before ordering.
What is a feather closure?
A mistake: the field should describe the spring or one-hand mechanism.
Does it need drilling?
No, it is a pressure fit.
Is the extension included?
The gate fits 73 to 80cm as it arrives and reaches 108cm with extensions.
Why is it eighth?
Because the mechanism is good and the price is fair, but its own fields cannot agree on the colour.
How many ratings does it have?
7338 at the time of collection, averaging 4.4 stars, with 71 per cent five-star and 7 per cent one-star.
