I have 4 dogs and the small dogs are the ones that use to climb over the baby gates even when I had two up! They are unable to climb this gate since the bars are only vertical! This one is less embarrassing to have up since I am selling my house and it's easy to let the dogs out. The directions to set it up were a little confusing but maybe I lack the common sense haha. Great buy!

This gate was purchased for use in our church nursery doorway. It is sturdy...the height is wonderful for being out of reach of tiny hands. The walk-through gate is easy to use and it can lock securely. We are now installing one on the older toddler's classroom.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a gate that would not only keep my 1 year old out my kitchen but also my 2 year old and I must say since I put it up I no longer have any problems with them going in there I no longer worry bout then hurting them selfs

To me, "easy step" implied a "step to open" type situation. No such thing with this gate. Also, the instructions recommend screwing the mounting cups into the wall, making this a not-so-temporary installation. The price is fair I suppose. The only thing keeping me from returning this is dealing with the hassle of going back to Wal-Mart. I'll adapt the gate on my own to make it more user-friendly and a bit more portable/temporary.

This gate is the BEST product on the market! My husband and I recently acquired a rescue dog with severe separation anxiety issues. We wanted to be able to leave him in our laundry room when we had to be out of the house for a few hours. We purchased a child/dog plastic gate and he simply jumped over it. We raised it up a couple of inches off the floor and he climbed up the diamond shaped plastic designs in the gate - therefore, we purchased a taller wooden gate. Well, he ate and clawed away at the wooden gate. We even combined the two gates (one above the other) and he clawed and chewed his way through the duct tape-repaired wooden gate. At last we found the Regalo - Easy Step Extra Tall Walk-Thru Metal Gate and our prayers have been answered. He can't do ANY harm to this gate and it works perfectly!!! Now we are all happy. I sure wish I had found this gate in the first place! JCP - Rhode Island

This gate is terrific. It took 5 minutes to set up; it is well-made and quite sturdy. It keeps cats out - the main reason I wanted it. It is tall enough and gives them no landing space; they have not even tried to jump over it. And they are too fat to squeeze between the bars. ;-)

Our dog is a ninja genius and has managed to manipulate every gate/blockade that we tried to keep her out of the room where the kittie's food and litter is. Not only was is a mess to clean up, but she was turning into a little sausage! We bought the Regalo gate and at first, she was able to get through it too, but once I drilled it into the door frame (like it suggests on the instructions) she has been stumped! The gate works wonderfully and it is very easy for humans to open and close. If you have older cats, it might be difficult for them to jump over (it is definitely tall!) but we keep a kitty tower next to the gate on the inside of the room so they are able to use it as a stepping stone/ launch pad. Everyone is happy now and pudge-muffin is finally back down to her normal size.

The installation of this gate was very simple in comparisson with other gates i have installed before. It is taller than the average baby gate so I can rest-assured that my lil one won't be toppling over the top of this gate either. The fact that it swings open makes it easy to get through for the adults and older children in the house (ages 5 + ). If you are going to use this gate for the top of stairs, as I did, I would recommend either using the little circle mounts to make it a bit more secure, or "Mighty Putty" on each of the 4 surfaces that meet with the wall. I used Mighty Putty and that has worked great to keep it a bit more secure, and i can rest assured that my lil guy won't push it over. Great baby gate!

This was exaclty what I needed. I use it for my dogs. It separates my Shar Pei and Belgian Mal from my Chow Chow, Border Terrier and Chihuahua. None of the fit through the bars. It is perfect and sturdy. I would absolutely buy this again! Great for barriers for dogs.

I've tried numerous gates, but was disappointed in all, but this one. I used to have to climb over previous ones and they all broke after little use. It looks nice and I am so pleased. I would recommend this gate to anyone...very easy to set up. unlike other reviews I've read...stays up very well without bolts and screws. I would feel safe having it for a child although I'm using it for a pet.
