The gate fit my 52" opening which was not exactly straight across. The gate was fairly easy to put together. It is very strong and small kid proof. There is a 1.5" threshold to step over on the floor. The gate opening is 16" and might require a larger person to go through sideways.

I love that this gate is secure and tall. It also has a design that is difficult to climb. We had a cheaper wooden one in the hallway and it was shorter and my son can climb right over it. I also love that it is metal so it is more sturdy and the walk through gate is a great feature for my elderly relatives. Only down side is you have to drill holes in the wall but that is so easy to fix.

I am using this gate to cover a fairly wide door between the living room and kitchen to restrict my two medium sized dogs. The gate has the width to cover the opening but this gate is not stable once it has been installed and the dogs can and have pushed against it and gotten it to flex enough to eventually get it to fall. I previously had a smilar length (slightly more expensive and much better looking!) wooden gate and it was much more solid and stable. It felt much less flimsy. I would still be using that except one of our dogs is a chewer and chewed through a couple of the wooden bars (so much for looking good!). This problem caused my desire for a metal gate since I figured it should be chew proof! On its own this gate is not stable or sturdy enough to do the job! I have little confidence in it! I am using the chwed gate and various other things to try to "stabilize" the gate and keep it standing so it can be used but I have been very disappointed with this gate. The "length extenders" on this gate when installed have too much flex as compared to the other gate I had and this is what is allowing the gate to flex when pushed even a little. I would not recommend this gate! It seems to me that even a child might be able to push it over!

Basically it's a pretty good product. It is easy to open with one hand, but can be locked so that young hands can't open it. However, the wide span (which is perfect for large openings), is pretty flimsy when extended to it's full width. The entire span will sway and give when any type of pressure is placed on it. It just doesn't feel very strong at all.

works great for my two dogs, a 13lb poodle and a 6lb pom. The pom can't get through the bars which was initially a concern. He tried the first time got stuck and instead of barreling through retreated and hasn't tried since. I don't bother with the pin locking mechanism just pushing the handle down prevents the door from moving. The walkway portion is a bit tight but it becomes second nature to sort of sidewalk your way through it so no biggie. I used all 3 pieces for the longest length possible and haven't had any issue. Setup was a breeze. 5 minutes, no tools required.

Once in place it is easy to knock it out of sink since it does not all lock together but simply sits inside each piece. It would work better if it's screwed to the walls only. If kids or pets lean on it, it can come apart. I bought it for a puppy gate. For that it worked ok. It's flimsy.

I was very impressed with this extra wide gate with 3 extensions. Where I am using it, I needed all three extensions, but once it was put up - it fit nicely and I never attached the cups on the walls. The tension adjusted so that it fit very securely. I like the gate, which was larger than I expected, and worked out very nicely. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a sturdy gate at a reasonable price.

Great item! Easy to install once I caught on to the trick of it. I had to have something that was sturdy, attractive, would stand up to outdoor use, could be installed without use of screws since my apartment complex doesn't allow that, and would keep my old dogs safe. Just pay close attention to the directions.

We bought this specifically for the fact that we needed two for across our hallway and into our kitchen, which are wider than normal spaces. I read the reviews about how easy it was to install and how great a product was and decided to give it a shot. It was easy to assemble and it was easy to install. My only issue is that when you use all the extensions given to span the space you need spanned, the gate isn't as sturdy as I'd like. I have it as tight as I can get it and when you grab it and shake it, it moves a little. For now our daughter is only 10.5 months old so she doesn't have a lot of tugging power behind her but as she gets older, I am not sure if her yanking on it, trying to figure it out, will make it come down or not. :/ We might have to zip tie the joints between the extensions together to give it some added strength.

I was searching for a solution to block the stairway in my rental. This arrived on time and looks just like the picture. Installation was easy- basically snap in and turn the knobs! It took me about 15 minutes to install! I only needed to use one on the extensions and storing the others. The gate is sturdy and no holes in the wall! I purchased this so my senior medium sized dog would not hurt herself going up and down the stairs. I have had it for over a week and it does not get heavy usage, it is working wonderfully! Definitely recommend! I tried uploading pictures but keep getting a time limit exceeded?..
