I had got this to stop our dog from going downstairs as we were just leaning our other gate against the doorway so it was easier to go up and down, and it was markingnup the door trim. I bought it for the gate, and was surprised it was made out of metal, and was pleased! Would be nice if it came in brown or black, or tan. It might, but i had not looked, and didnt see a choice. Since i am using mine for my dog, i just adjusted the side restrainst to hold the door securely, without using the latch. The gate has a small stop at the bottom, so we just lightly lift the door out of the stop to go up and down, instead of using the latch! Love it!!!!

Pros: Great value for the quality of the gate. Extremely easy to install, and very sturdy. 
Cons: Could have more colours, but small con.
