Needed a gate for the top of the stairs & this one suits our needs. Our stairs are on the narrow side & this gate fits well. It is a little difficult to operate with one hand though. Site-to-store shipping took a while, next time I will pay the $8 shipping so I can receive the items faster...

We got this gate to keep our toddler out of our kitchen because it was safer and more efficient than adding individual locks to each appliance and cabinet, to just block off the entire room and keep her out altogether. The gate itself is sturdy and functions well, it was easy to install, it's convenient for the parent to be able to walk through instead of stepping over or having to take down every time you need to pass through, but the locking mechanism is so primitive and over simplified that my 2 year old had already mastered it the very same day it was installed! All it took was her watching us unlock it once or twice and she'd figured it out. Which means this gate ultimately only works if you're using it for a pet or small baby who hasn't yet honed their fine motor skills, but even then, you had better be prepared to have to buy another for it's replacement as soon as they do because it's nothing for a toddler to open on their own!

I should have bought this when my baby first started crawling because its so much easier to contain him to the play area. I really like that it's able to stay closed without actually locking it so that my 2 year old can still lift the latch to come in and out (since he's potty training and needs to run to the BR). I didn't actually mount it because the instructions say that mounting the wall cups is only absolutely necessary if you're placing the gate at the top of a staircase. The pressure is enough to hold it; it's been up for 2 weeks and hasn't moved at all. I think I'll buy another one to put in the doorway of my boys' bedroom so that when I start putting baby in his toddler bed I don't have to worry about him getting up and wandering around the house.

we bought 2 of these gates for a new puppy and they are perfect and really easy to use. One we are using as is and the other one we need the extention which came with it. We used the pressure system on them no screwing into the walls and the gate is really easy to open and close. Working out great!

This gate is perfect and exactly what I needed! You don't have to worry about taking it up and down to get past you simply open and close. I was having a very hard time searching for a gate for my store at the bottom, because there is molding at the bottom and a rail against the wall so it was very hard to find the gate that fit the spaces. But with this gate you can adjust how far out the stoppers come so it doesn't have to be in even surface on the walls. Very sturdy, my 15 month old has pulled and shook and then everything you can to figure out how to get through it with no success, and my five-year-old can easily open it himself. Thank you whomever created this!

15 YEARS AGO I BROUGHT HOME TWO MALE CHIUA'S RADAR AND BRUTUS. I BOUGHT THE WOODEN GATES FOR BABY'S THEY CHEWED THRU 5 SETS BEFORE THEY WERE OUT OF THIER "PUPPY" YEARS. MARCH 9TH I HAD TO MAKE THE HARDEST DISCISSION OF M LIFE AND PUT RADAR TO SLEEP, CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE. EVEN THO WE STILL HAD BRUTUS,WHO HAS ADDISONS, STAYS TO HIM SELF ALL THE TIME. MY HUSBAND SUPRISED ME THE DAY BEFORE EASTER HE HAD BROUGHT HOME TWO FEMALE RAT TERRIERS FOR ME TO CHOOSE FROM, I SUPRISED HIM BY KEEPING BOTH, THELMA AND LOUISE, THELMA THE RUNT AND LOUISE THE LAST BORN, WERE THE ONLY TWO LEFT FRIM THE LITTER, COULD NOT SPLIT THEM UP. I WENT TO WORK ON EASTER AND BEHIND THE SERVICE DESK WAS A RETURN THAT CAME IN THE NIGHT BEFORE FROM AN ONLINE PURCHASE, NO ONE HAD PUT IT OUT ON THE FLOOR BECAUSE WE DON'T CARRY THIS ITEM IN OUR STORE. I PURCHASED IT ON THE SPOT, GOT HOME 5 MINUTES IT WAS UP AND WORKING LIKE A CHARM. THAT DAY I WENT ON LINE AND MADE MY FIRST ONLINE PURCHASE FROM WALMART, BOUGHT ANOTHER ONE FOR THE OTHER ENTRANCE OUT OF OUR DINNING ROOM. SO THE GIRLS HAVE A BIG ROOM TO PLAY WHEN IT'S NASTY OUT SIDE, AND I DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE CHEWING UP AND SWALLOWING OR ESCAPING THRU THE GATE INTO AREAS THAT ARE NOT THERE SPACE.

I didn't even get the gate that is shown here, I got what I imagine is different line of this particular gate. The gate was already bent up and poorly manufactured. When my husband and I tried to get the gate to latch we had to force it. It says that if it won't latch it's tightened too tight but we had to tighten it so much it bent the gate up even more just to make it latch.

This is my third Regalo gate. Fortunately all have fit my door openings, but I know there are some where you have to extend the extension screws too far to keep them rigid. I had one of these and would up putting a piece of wood between the wall the screw. The gates work very well and I have 3 goldens who need to be regulated and kept out of the kitchen. I"m sure if they really wanted to, they could knock the gate down, but they haven't tried. Recommend!

This gate was easy to assemble and can be moved from doorway to opening over the stairs in a matter of minutes. It is very sturdy. It is great to be able to use the swing gate rather than take the whole gate down for access beyond the gate, especially with toddlers following behind you.

Easy gate to open with one hand when locked. My toddler pulls on the gate and it holds up. It is also very easy to install. My mom has arthritis in her hands and is able to unlock & open the gate without troubles. I just purchased a second gate since the first one held up so well.
