Bought this gate to keep larger dog and smaller dogs apart. Works great for that. Larger dog doesn't try to jump on it and smaller dogs cannot fit between the bars( 4 pound toy poodles). Single hand opening is very useful. The gate is equipped with a tamper latch that prevents the larger dog from accidently opening. For the price unit is very well constructed. Since I have dogs the black color is great. The gate is shipped with four cups that you can attach to the door facing and keep animals or small children from pushing the gate down.

I bought this gate to block the lower stairs in our bi-level home, to keep our Wheaten Terrier in the downstairs family room during the day. So far, so good. Our dog can jump very high, and has managed to get over shorter gates. I installed this gate on the first step for a few additional inches, and she has not gotten out yet (had I installed it on the ground level, I believe she might have cleared the top by now.) The gate is sturdy, but easy to take down or reinstall when needed. The thin, glossy bars make climbing or pushing difficult. The only downsides I have found are the following: 1) When the gate door is open, the clearance space is very narrow (16 inches), so it might not work well in a high traffic area. This may be a bigger problem when the gate is installed on a step (like ours) because you loose some of the step's space, forcing you to pivot on your foot and walk sideways down the step to clear the gate opening. 2) The gate's design (four pins using pressure to wedge the gate between the walls) might not withstand pushing from a larger dog or a determined toddler.

while this gate is awesome and i really like it, my dog broke it with no problem at all. he managed to break one of the bars and then he could squeeze right through giving him access to the whole house! however we fixed it ourselves so well see how well that works out. its just a little irritating that we had to buy a 42.00 dollar gate and turn around a week later and spend 10.00 to fix it. but otherwise it is a nice gate just not dog durable.

I purchased two of these gates to block my dog in the kitchen when we leave the house. He seems to be somewhat of a magician. Any barricade I've put up, he gets through. These are very tall, with no chance of him jumping over them. They're nice enough to leave up for periods of time when we are home, but easy enough to remove when they get in the way. The price compared to other gates I looked at, for the quality and height, was much better than others I found.

This is a great product if you are trying to create boundaries for your pet. I have a small cat so I was afraid she would be able to jump over it or squeeze through the bars, but it's really been perfect! I have owned this product for 3 weeks and no complaints so far! It is easy to setup and I like the locking feature that allows you to easily walk in and out as well (as long as you're not obese - it could be a tight squeeze for bigger people). Well worth the cost if it means keeping the cat hair at bay.

We bought this gate to keep the cat out of dining room and living room. Works great and I had it installed in just a short while. Unlike another reviewer I had no problem installing so that regular door still closes if we wish. Priced much less than other comparable products.

This product was not at all what I expected...it was not able to stay in doorway without being bolted...you walk through it and it falls out. Plus you need to be very skinny to walk through it comfortable, otherwise you'd have to twist your body to get through. Overweight people would have major issues. Plus, I bought it for a pet gate and my medium sized dog could get through it (on the sides because the bars don't go all the way to end). The ONLY thing I liked about it was the height because we wanted something the dog couldn't jump over.

I would have to say this is almost the perfect gate. It's nice looking, sturdy, and worry free. We purchased it for the top of the stairs as a permanent fixture. We have an open staircase a crawling grandchildren. There is however one little flaw. The opening of the gate is rather small and makes it nearly impossible to take anything up or down the stairs that you can't raise over your head. Most men would have difficulty getting through the opening without turning sideways. Additionally I find it odd that not one company lists the dimensions of the opening on any of these products.

We got this gate to have a "safe area" for our paralyzed dog. We didn't want her near our large dogs while we weren't home. This gate was perfect! It's tall enough that our 80 lb dogs can't even think about getting over it. I am overweight and easily fit through the gate turning sideways. I've not had any problems. I'm 5'8". The only problem I ran into was that there is a slightly smaller than normal gap between the door framing and outside of the gate. The gap is too small for an extension but large enough that it makes the gate a tiny bit loose. I don't think it will be an issue. If we have to, we will get a small piece of wood, paint it the color of the moulding (white) and put that between the frame and screw to stabilize it. I don't think we'll need to though. Some people may run into issues with the size of their doorframe not fitting properly. Just know that you can buy smaller extensions than the one that comes with this product. They're about $10-$15.

This gate is GREAT!! Trying to keep the dogs from going upstairs to the bedrooms has always been difficult.. we used baby gates of all kinds and have ruined the sheetrock at the stairway with the pressure type gates. This gate actually has mounting hardware that makes it so that doesn't happen. It took about a half hour to install properly.. needed longer mounting screws (the ones supplied were too small) but thankfully my husband is a general contractor and had exactly what we needed. The gate is extra tall so that our mini-pin can't jump over it which was a must as well... she loves a challenge!! I would recommend this gate to everyone with similar issues.
