I have three of the Evenflo Secure Solutions gates in our house, and really like them. Here's a link to what they look like: http://www.child-safety-gates.com/cgi-bin/SoftCart.100.exe/scstore/p-1031548BB.html?E+scstore

The latch is a bit of a trick to get the hang of (it is a one-hand operation), but very quickly you can breeze through it without even breaking step. And our VERY rambunctious two-year-old has not been able to get over or through it yet.

It's a bit of a trick to install where there is baseboard present, but we just added a vertical strip of wood above the baseboard to give the top and bottom an even base to attach to.

Hope that helps!
