We bought this gate for 2 main reasons: 1~keep our very active 2 1/2 year old out of the Kitchen (so she dont hurt herself!!) & 2~ to keep our Lab/Huskey mix dog confined to the kitchen during meal times, when we are out for short times.... The gate is great height & my husband had no trouble putting it up. Only problem is that the gate opening to pass in/out is not very big, it could be a bit wider but the pluses outweigh that. It's easy to open, so small kids at some point will figure it out..Our dog so far has not even tryed to jump up on it. Good gate if your looking for something stronger, taller, & that will last longer than the cheapy plastic baby gates.

We have a two story home and I wanted to turn my childs crib into a big boy bed but since our bdrms are upstairs I needed something to block off the stairs that had a gate in it because I wanted something quiet that could be opened and closed while he sleeps. This gate is great. It's quiet, it's nice and tall and yet he can stil walk down the stairs with me when I want to to be able to do so.

My cat's can't get through which is why I bought it. You would have to screw it into the wall or door jamb to keep a baby from pulling it down. In order to adjust it to fit snuggly in a door jamb, it makes the latch too loose for it to close properly. If you don't mind screwing it in to the wall then it will work for you.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I definitely had to wait but it was completely worth because it’s the perfect size and height for my baby and pets which I definitely love. I definitely didn’t worry about anything with this. It’s the best.

I have a two year old that gets into the fridge and we needed a tall gate that he couldn't climb over because he figured out how to open the fridge lock we bought and he climbed over the short gate that we had. I almost didn't buy this gate because of a few of the bad reviews, but I am so happy I did. Its not hard to install, it just take a little effort. I have plaster walls and it stays in just fine, so I would imagine putting it up in a wood framed doorway would be even better. Its easy enough to open with one hand and easy enough for my 5 year old to get through, but my two year old cannot figure it out-even after watching us do it.

got this gate to keep my two great danes from stealing food. the sight of a 25 lb. ham disappearing out the back door was too much for me. (yes, they can turn door knobs) it works perfectly: tall enough so they cant walk over it; fastens tight enough so they cant unlock it; sturdy enough so they cant bull-doze it. the measurments for door-way width aren't accurate. its very awkward to put together. solved the swinging gate problem by taping it shut with a thin sliver of duct tape. but once it was in -- magic!

I bought this because i needed to block the doorway to keep my cat away from the christmas tree. the gate specifications are not correct! it does not fit my doorway of 34". so im very disappointed in the product! I would return the gate but I'm pressed for time and I can't just drive to the store to return it because they don't have it in my area! Oh, and she can also jump over the 41" gate, unfortunately, its the tallest gate I could find. So I had to add things to the gate to block my cat from going through or over it.

I bought this same one (different color) about two years ago. It's great. Easy to install, no screws or nails in the wall cuz it's pressure mounted. Main thing you should know is that it is not 36 inches tall. It's actually 41 inches tall. So it is extra tall. I don't know why they say it's 36. That's the max width. If you read further down on the description you'll see it says 36 by 41.

this gate has made it possible to put my five year old daughter in her room at night. she would come out all hours of the night waking her sister and myself up. this gate has made it possible to keep her in her room without putting her safety at risk. this gate is an answer to many sleepless nights.

So easy to install, but easier with a second set of hands and a power drill/electric screwdriver. There is a bar at the bottom though that is easy to trip on until you get in the habit of stepping over it. The entrance is a little narrow also, but still a great product. If you close the latch without locking it down, you can open and close with one hand.
