Is this gate safe to use in front of a fireplace? What is the difference between this product and the hearth version?

Yes it is safe to use around fireplacr. Make sure you get the fireplace one because it comes with 4 sections instead of 3 sections

I'm using mine as a little porch gate to contain my pooch; the gate is mounted to the brick sides of the opening without the pads and it's been fine. I think whether using it without the pads is going to vary, based on the texture of the surface it's mounted to. If you're concerned about protecting drywall, I think it would be counter-productive; you're going to damage the surface either way - it's pressure-mounted, so it's going to dig into it probably worse without the pads. Either way, you're going to need to do at least some minimal repair when you remove the gate.

As long as the unit fits safely in your fireplace there should be no problem.

We have only used ours in an outdoor firepit, but I don't see why you couldn't use in in your open fireplace. Its doesn't create smoke or an odor.

I would not recommend it for the top of the stairs. A gate whereby one side is secured to a wall and not pressure mounted would be safer.

I leave it on year round to help with heat / cooling loss & drafts. My fireplace is super drafty. It's not perfect, but certainly helps. Don't know that I'd use it until after the fire has cooled down. Not sure how fire proof it is.

It locks the glass doors closed, so if you have those on your fireplace, your good to go. The one I bought is in use on a gas fireplace.

Grace, We recommend against putting your TV or any electronic device over a fireplace. Thanks for your interest in Samsung products. --Mr. S

we purchased the extension that is offered for this gate. You can put it on either side, whichever works best for you. Opening the gate is a little awkward until you get used to lifting the gate back by the hinge then swing it open.

We use ours in a hallway / doorway so that we can block off our kitchen. Works great and really wish I would have bought more for other areas of our house. Our son is 22 months and very tall for his age. This gate is also tall and I never worry that he will get over / through it. Good Luck

Yes, the gate has screws on both ends that extend out and applies pressure to hold it in place. Sounds bad and not sturdy but it's actually perfect for pets or kids without damaging the house. It also makes it easy to install almost anywhere.

Hi Craig, I used a piece of wood for years and it worked fine. This does seem to offer better security (if you need it) and it is very convenient. It is mounted inn the center verses at floor which will give more security. No more bending over to get the wood and it laying by the door on the floor. I personally like it better than the wood. Have a nice day.

Our deck protectors are designed as protection from a stray ember or ash from a wood burning fireplace. The fire resistant pad is not fireproof. It will protect your deck area from embers or a burning log until it can be placed back in the fire. It will not protect your deck from direct heat or intense direct fire. I hope this helps answer your question. Thank you. The Blue Rooster Co.

I'm not really sure to be honest with you. Our fireplace insert was built into out entertainment center so we have an electrical outlet to plug it into. As long as it is the right measurement as your fireplace I don't think it would be a problem the only concern would be the plug in.

Yes...It is in front of my fireplace and is wonderful. The door that can stay open is a great feature for carrying wood in.

Agree with previous answers. What I found is that it is very heavy so make sure your hearth is stable and load bearing.

You'll have one inch at the top and one inch at the bottom that won't be covered with the 32" H one but that's not a disaster except it will allow some of your heat to still go up the chimney and in the case of a downdraft, if you don't have the bottom covered, some ashes could be blown onto your hearth. I had an arched opening which is why I couldn't invest in glass doors. They are really the nicest and safest solution but the fireplace blocker is a good alternative for the price.
