I have 2 older Regalo gates that have spring locks and open either way. This gates updated design forces you to use 2 hands to open it and also only opens in one direction. Was pretty disappointed in the newer design. I use them for my dogs and they do the job. I can't imagine a mom or dad holding a baby or more than one item and having to open and walk through this gate. So inefficient when it comes to 'real life'. Bring back the old design Regalo!

Worked fine for about 7 months before one of the (too small) welds broke on the main walk through portion of the gate. Now I'm stuck with a broken gate that I have to figure out how to repair or replace it since their warranty is only for 90 days. The height is nice on this, but if you're expecting it to last, it probably won't. I personally wouldn't buy from this brand again or recommend that anyone purchase it if you're looking for a long lasting product. It's made obvious they don't expect it to last by the 3 month warranty offered. Broken after 7 months of ownership? I'd call that cheaply made.

I am extremely pleased with this gate however the reviews about the door not opening when the gate is tightened between the door jam are true. I read all those reviews before buying it and I figured most of those people must not be handy so bought it anyway however they are correct. Since we plan to leave the gate up for sometime we decided to put 2 screws into the wall in order to hold the gate firmly in place and still be able to open & close the door, we only did the top screws and not the bottom. Afterall, 2 small screw holes are easily repaired when we are able to take the gate down. We got a new Boxer dog who we don't quite trust to have run of the house yet so she remains in the laundry/bathroom during the day and this gate allows her to have daylight from other windows in the house and also see into the kitchen. But instead of taking it up & down everyday we just leave it up and have not had any trouble walking through it. Basically as long as you are willing to put 2 small screw holes into your door jam I think this is the perfect product and I would buy it again.

The gate serves its purpose, to stop my animals from a room. The gate has a small door that opens, so if you are carrying something wide you have to lift it up and over the gate-even though the door is open. The material is not as solid as I expected for the price.

The gate is nice looking when you consider what it is. The opening to walk through is rather narrow. This was mentioned by other reviews, so I knew it ahead of time. The only negative was upon delivery, I noticed that the packing box appeared to have had something heavy placed/dropped on it. One vertical pole is bent. More than likely this happened in shipping and not manufacturing. To add the Extension was very simple. We did secure one side to the wall with the included screws.

Regalo is the best baby gate brand in my opinion. Won't buy any others from here on out. Had an E v n f l o and S u m m e r both break. This was after 3 years but the Regalo is still holding strong so we bought all new Regalo's to replace the others.

These gates could be more sturdy. My son has easily pushed them down cause they are not as sturdy as they should be for a baby gate. They serve the purpose i have for them now but it wont be long till my son realizes how to open them or just flat out pushes them down.

I have two german shepherds I usually keep outside but I bring inside every now and then if the weather is bad. Our female is quite an escape artist so I needed something that could keep her in. This item was definitely tall enough but it is a little flimsy because my hallway entrance is a little wide. Even with the extensions I can feel its to the last twist almost. The baseboard in my house gets in the way to be able to screw on the bottom pieces correctly so I have them placed at an angle to that plays part in why it doesnt feel as sturdy. So not a big deal since Ill be changing out my baseboards soon and it will be a flatter surface for them to go in. Regardless though the gate is able to keep in both of my shepherds and especially my 65 lb female german Shepherd who continuously jumps on it.

It's good, very tall. I don't care for the latch because it's a little complicated but if you bought this for sneaky smart older toddlers then this might actually be a great thing. Keeps my giant puppy in the kitchen but my cats can still jump it as they please which is exactly what I wanted

This gate is great at preventing my son from climbing over! My son has HF ASD, and is always getting into the fridge or touching the sink or stove. He figured out how to open our last 2 gates, so we tied them closed. But then he would just climb over the gate, by pulling a chair near it. We got the tall gate this time and its been such a blessing. Thank you Regalo gate company!
