We have two adult dogs, two young dogs and nine (yes nine) kitties. The dogs need to stay out of certain rooms, but the cats need access. It got very difficult stepping over our other fences, or moving them to walk down the hall. We have another fence similar to this in a doorway that we removed (sawed out) one of the vertical rails from, so the cats can walk through but the dogs can't. Unfortunately, that one didn't fit the width of the hall. This one does - without the extension piece!! Additionally, the rails are slightly further apart, and all the kitties (even our big fat ones) can walk through it - no alterations needed. If the cost was lower I would definitely buy more of them, but it's still worth the price paid.

This was purchased to help contain a very active english cocker spaniel. We love the easy to use walk through portion of the gate. The up and down metal slats keep our dog from using his hind legs for leverage as he did with all the other gates we purchased and it's taller than most gates. He has nothing to get a hold of. Set up was quick and easy. This gate can be easily taken with you when visiting family and friends.

This gate is very nice looking and a good value. It is a little hard to install. You need to make sure the pressure gate is very tightly fit before it can work. You will need at least two people for this. But once you have it installed properly it works perfectly!

We purchased this gate to keep our dogs from running out of the front door. we LOVE it. My mother has arthritis and it is so easy for her to open with only one hand. It can lock, but we usually dont use the lock because we are not trying to contain kids, only dogs. We have three so far and would buy more if needed at any time.

Good quality, and the price was good. It was also easy to put up. We got the gate because we were tired of lifting our other kids over the other gate all the time, and taking it down for guests. Everyone (even the kids) is able to open and shut the gate easily, making life easier.

Easy to assemble and works good on the stairs for a 1 year old. Although, have to use the last step for the bottom part of the gate which makes it hard to use that step. When baby gets stronger he may be able to push the gate. Will work better at the top of the stairs.

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.

After reading a few other reviews, I was skeptical about getting this gate.. But I was getting tired of our old gate that has to be removed every time you want to walk through the doorway while carrying something. Having read other reviews about installation being confusing and difficult, I carefully read the directions before trying to install the gate. It was the easiest installation ever!! It only took me about 3-4 minutes to install!! (I did not need the cups that required drilling as it was not being installed on our stariway). The gate is nice and sturdy!! I have 2 large rowdy Labradors and they haven't even been able to loosen it or anything!! I am so happy with purchasing this gate!! I will definitely be getting another one!!

I ordered 2 of these gates to keep my 2 dogs out of the living room and from going upstairs. Right out of the box I was slightly confused on how the latch would work but after ready the instructions and following them it worked great. Install was so easy and had both gates up and working in about 15 minutes. Granted the dogs aren't to happy that I cut off space in the house for them. But it saves on my cleaning time.

I apparently read the details for this gate wrong because I thought it swung open both ways but it does not. I have it at the base of my steps which are on the right side of my house and the gate opens to the left which puts it in an awkward place when open. The lever that locks it partially but enough for the use to keep my 15 month old off the steps is one handed but the red clip that really locks it is a two handed job. Overall I like the gate just fine and it serves its purpose and is relatively easy to install with one person. If you have an extra hand to hold it in place that works even better.
