the tac welding is as cheap as you can possibly get. the bars are not fully welded. each bar has one spot weld on each end of the bar. mine broke in less than a week. instead of the hassle of returning it. i just used hot glue and applied as much as needed to the bar that disconnected. problem solved.

This gate is kind of hard to open with one hand, especially when carrying anything or anyone. I also don't like that it can only swing one way. I have an Evenflo gate that swings both ways, is really easy to open with one hand, and can even be slammed into a locked, safe position if you're in a hurry. This gate is a bit of a pain. I was going to return it & get another Evenflo, but my husband had already thrown away the box :(. The Evenflo gate was almost $10 more, which is why I thought I'd give this a try; I should have spent the extra money. Anyway, the gate is okay, it just has some pretty obvious design flaws.

I wasn't sure what kind of quality we would get when we ordered this, but was really impressed when we got it. For the price, it is the quality I would have expected with a gate that is twice the price. Easy to install and perfect to keep the dog out. Also simple to open and close to walk through. I wish I knew about this product earlier and didnt have to climb over previous gates we've had that either always got kicked over or chewed up. We used this gate on a standard doorway and it came with a small extension to add on to one side with hardware to use if we needed it. I believe there is another extension piece you can buy to add to the other side if you need to use for a wider doorway/stairs.

The gate is well made and attractive. It is easy to install and works as advertised. I rated this item "good" instead of "excellent" because the door opening is very narrow. This item is perfect for someone who is very slender however, a larger person must be careful entering and exiting.

I am very happy with the product - I purchased two of them. I no longer have to deal with adjusting security gate every time I enter or leave the room. Very easy for the older children to walk-in and out of the room then just having to lock the gate door - very convenient.

I love this gate ! I had beed banging my head against a wall trying to find the best solution to keeping my dogs in the back yard. The problem was the garage walk through door. Part of the garage is always open for the cars to get parked. But the other doorway is a pass through door between garage and back yard. That door didn't stay closed. I can't afford a electrical gate so low an behold I found this great metal latch gate. Its working amazingly and has been through several severe wind warnings.

The gate is great once installed. It allows easy passage and the space between is nice and small to keep my 10 lb dog contained. The only complaint I have is that it is difficult to install by yourself. I understand it is made to be flexible in width but that is what makes it difficult to hold together while installing. Also you have to screw the grips for a long time to get it tight enough for the gate to be able to close.

Easy to install, sturdy and looks tidy. I used the included 6 inch extender to fit wall to wall at the bottom of the stairs. I also screwed the plastic holder cups to the drywall to ensure the best holding, as recommended. If using on a wooden door frame, I don’t think there would be any need for screws. Excellent value.

This gate is great. It’s easy to lock and unlock...your baby will figure out how to open it if the locking mechanism isn’t set, and it requires enough tension from above to open that would be difficult for a toddler to do. Also, very easy to install and no need for drilling was awesome.

It's a great gate except for the small screws that are included for the wall mount. Regalo states that this is a tension set gate, but screws DO need to go in the wall, so be advised of that if you live in a home that you don't want screws in the wall.
