I was cage training my puppy and thought it was time to get him out of there so I use this gate on my hallway and leave him in there when I go to work. There was just one time that I got home from work and found the gate wide open and my puppy free around the house, but no accidents and my husband fixed the issue.

This is the best gate we have tried. It was easy to install; however, if you are planning to use Y-spindles from One Step Ahead, they will not fit in the openings of this gate. Other than that, we love it. It's easy to open and my 8-year old is able to open and close it by himself very easily too! I can hold the baby on my hip while opening the gate with one hand also. The walk-thru opening could be a little wider, but after trying 4 other gates... this one is great! Love it.

We purchased the hands-free name brand style gate for $70 first, and we are regretting having not purchased this one. We needed two for our kitchen/family room area, and had I known this gate was available we would have saved the money and simply purchased two of them to begin with. This is a great find, just as sturdy as other tension-mount swing gates out there. They are all a little difficult to put up given the tension has to be even throughout, but it works great and looks just as nice as the others. Definitely purchase this if you're looking for this style gate, worth every penny!

The gate is easy to manage and set up. You don't have to attach anything to the walls b/c the guards are secure enough to hold in place with the pressure of the rubber length adjusters. It's easy to get in/out. The only thing I would change about this gate is that the door would open flush with the rest of the gate instead of only halfway. Otherwise a fantastic item for the price!

I love this gate. I use it to separate the kitchen and the dining room. With that being said, I am the type of person that has to have all products match. So I bought this brand of gate in different sizes - Wide and extra wide also. I do not like those gates. Because of their size and extensions they can not be used pressure mounted and obtain the same sturdiness that you find with this gate. This gate - I did not use the extensions and it's perfect and super strong using only pressure mounts. *I just noted that for any other mom's out there that are going to buy a bunch of gates (same brand, different sizes).

I bought this gate to use to block off my 5 yr old's room from the baby. I specifically wanted a pressure mount gate because I didn't want holes to fill in later. This gate is exactly what I was looking for. It installed easily; I followed the directions and was able to install it by myself in just a few minutes. My 5 yr old is able to open and close the gate without any trouble. Now his toys are safe from baby, and baby is safe from big-kid toys. Perfect! I love it so much I ordered a second one for the master bedroom.

They are nice at first but the latch will break internally and nobody sells replacement parts. I have 2 Regalo baby gates and the latches broke on both gates, I was able to fix one with JB weld which held up longer than the original cheap plastic internals but now that it's broken I'm stressed because there are no replacement parts available and I modified my kitchen to fit this particular gate. So now I have to choose the ease of buying another Regalo which I know will break in a few months or try a different brand and unmodify my kitchen entryway.

I bought this gate to keep my puppy from going upstairs in our house and I've had it for a month now and I love it. It doesn't need to be nailed into the wall which I like. It's kept in place well against the wall and my rail post by the rubber nobs and it's really easy to open. It also looks good. The gate is about 28 inches and I extended mine 1.5 inches on each side.

I use this as a pet gate, to keep my small dog out of a specific room. It works very well for that purpose, allowing people to have easy access, while keeping the dog out. I don't know how it would hold up against a toddler or a larger dog pushing on it.

I am about to buy my 3rd one! I love this gate! I have an 18 month old that loves to get in everything and is now climbing out of his crib. This is the stylish, most value for your money gate, my opinion! I would recommend this product to everyone who has little ones or pets that like to get in to rooms that are off limits! The price is great most gates go for 40-80 bucks, this one is great for the money and we love them, also very durable!
