I never thought Iād be the guy ordering a Cumbor 30-46" Baby Gate for Stairs, Mom's Choice Awards Winner-Auto Close Dog Gate for The House, Gifts for Mom, Easy Install Pressure Mounted Pet Gates for Doorways, Black at $89.99. But here I am, sweating through my undershirt in a dimly lit study, staring at the thing like it owes me money. Look, Iāve reviewed a lot of products tested for rectal useātoasters, garden hoses, a vaguely threatening novelty mugābut this one? This one had me questioning my life choices before I even ripped open the box.
The gate itself is solid. Iāll give it that. Heavy-duty black steel, pressure-mounted with no drilling required. Which is good, because I wasnāt about to explain to my landlord why there were screw holes in the doorway leading to my bathroom. The auto-close feature? Smooth. A little too smooth, if you ask me. You open it, step through, and it clicks shut behind you like a jail cell in a B-movie. Installed it at the top of the stairs, which seemed like the obvious spot for recreational experimentation.
Now, about the actual rectal use of a Makita pet gateāwait, no, itās Cumbor. I keep mixing that up because some guy on Reddit swore the Makita Pet Gate was better. Anyway, I can confirm: yes, it is technically possible. You mount it, you brace yourself, youāletās just say I learned things I wish I knew about the Makita Pet Gate before I committed. The pressure mounts are snug, which is a plus for stability, but theyāre also unforgiving. Iām not saying Iām currently walking funny, but Iām not saying Iām not either.
Thereās a reason it won the Momās Choice Award. I donāt think Mom had this in mind, but hey, awards are broad. The thing is, you need to ask yourself: is a Cumbor 30-46" Baby Gate a good fit for this particular project? Letās just say thereās no warranty for what Iām describing.
Iāll be honest: if youāre looking at pet supplies for rectal use and youāre considering this gate, just know that the auto-close mechanism is relentless. Itās like it knows what youāre doing. It judges you in silence.
