I am so glad that I finally purchased a gate that opens in the middle instead of having to walk over or take down! It works great! This gate stays exactly where I want it at all times, even if my son shakes it! It keeps my 15 month old out of the kitchen and is very easy for everyone to open and get through, also is easy for the cat to fit through on the sides instead of have to jump over. This gate is very nice, that is is so tall as well. This is the 4th gate we have had since my son was born and I know this will be the last gate I will have to buy unless we move and need more gates. This gate is well worth the money and we should have just got this in the first place!

Because of the base moulding on my wall, the gate would not fit. With the extension it was too wide, without the extension pieces the adjusters were too extended and would buckle out on pressure!!!!! So frustrating. PS the opening I am trying to fit is 34 1/2"...not a crazy size!

The purpose for my purchasing this gate was to keep our Lab from certain parts of the house. It's so much easier having a gate that opens and closes vs. the typical baby gate you have to remove and/or step over. The quality and price of this gate are great!! I would highly recommend this for use with children.....no sharp edges, very stable, would be very hard for them to get the gate unlocked. Height of gate is excellent!!!! I'd give this gate an A+++

We ordered this gate to keep the dog out of the play room. The dog is a rescue and still learning which toys is his (that he can chew on) and those that belong to the children. The easy open gate allows the children to conveniently come and go. Now to train the kids to keep the gate closed! Maybe a treat each time they close the gate?

This gate is exceptional for its price. It was easy to install, and is very sharp looking. It is very stable, and great for a space that most gates will not fit on. I have a wide space which I had a really hard time finding a reasonably priced gate for. This fits what I wanted perfectly!

I looked at many other similar gates, and for the money, this one is just right. It sets up quick and has an extension if you need it. I only set mine up with the tension and never used the enclosed caps which can be screwed into the door jam to make it more secure. I have 5 of these throughout my house and only one of the locks has become difficult to release lately. Overall, I have been very pleased with this product and would reccomend it.

Bought this and returned it within a couple of days. Cheap is the first thing that comes to mind after getting the one that replaced it. The plastic lever on top is not going to last long. Seeing how other gates are made to open, this one totally misses the mark. It really does not need to be so hard to open. Overall, you should spend the 10.00 more to get an easy close gate that is more sturdy and easier to open. You will not be disappointed you chose the next step up.

This was a great investment for us. We own a bi-level house & a traditonal gate would have been a pain; but this baby gate has been great. It opens to let us through so we don't have to constantly mess with taking down & putting up a traditional baby gate. My older children have no problems using it & my son who is 13 months likes to close it if we forget & leave it open. I'm so glad I decided to order this site to store. All the good reviews I read about online convinced me to buy it. Thanks to all reviewers.

I recently moved to a townhouse with stairs and was looking for a gate that wasn't too expensive! I was going back and forth because this one was so cheap! We decided to try it! It came in about a week and was extremely easy to install! Definitely read the instructions and the tag on the gate! I think I might buy another one for the top of the stairs!

I bought this gate because it was the cheapest "easy open" gate I could find. However, it is HAZARDOUS for children. My 4-year-old son got his finger caught in the latch (there are multiple areas on the latch that can easily pinch) and had to be taken to the ER to get stitches. So saving $15 on the gate ended up costing us a ridiculous medical bill.
