New York, NY, February 1st, 2008 – Hammacher Schlemmer announces the selection of the Best Pressure Mounted Pet Gate, chosen over other models for its sturdiness, pet restriction ability, and ease of use.

The Hammacher Schlemmer Institute was established in 1983 to test and rate leading consumer products, allowing customers to make informed buying decisions.

Scoring the highest for sturdiness, the Best Pressure Mounted Pet Gate remained stable when an 80-lb. dumbbell was hung from the top of the gate, while lesser gates could only support 30 to 50 lbs. Its restriction ability was far superior; the 35"-high, substantial gate thwarted attempts by a 60-lb. Stafford Bull Terrier to climb over the top and prevented a slight, 10-lb. Bichon from escaping through the panels.

“Not only is the gate sturdy, but it was the easiest of the lot to set up due to its detailed instruction manual and user-friendly design,” explained Product Analyst Jaclyn Gragnani.”

The Best Pressure Mounted Pet Gate has four tension springs adjust with the turn of a knob to fit door- or hallways from 28" to 36" wide, and the gate swings open—inward and outward—at the touch of a latch so you needn’t struggle stepping over a gate or removing and replacing it every time you pass.

The pet gate is made from fine hardwood with superior metal components, it can remain as a permanent part of your decor or be removed in seconds, and the integrated rubber stoppers protect walls. The Best Pressure Mounted Pet Gate is available from Hammacher Schlemmer for $99.95. For more information, please visit www.hammacher.com or call 1-800-543-3366.
