This is a perfect gate which met our needs. Our Shiba Inu just had pups and we wanted to keep our other furry friends out of our bedroom. My husband had this put together and up in less than 30 minutes. It’s tall enough and sturdy enough to keep out our 35 pound male Shiba Inu when he was pushing on it. Our nine-year-old cat is able to jump over it which is OK with us. The description states it has an automatic closure which is not the case. It works perfectly manually and stays securely closed.

It is nice and tall but the width has only one set of predrilled holes. It can only be a certain thin width or wide width using the extra spacer panel, which we did. The width is also blocked by steel so even if u want to drill your own holes it could only be wider not thinner. The screw in bolt go in the extra spacer panel and they are not threaded on purpose it says but those bolts are way too long. We took a saws all to cut off an inch. The bottom was similar so we just didn’t use the receiver item as it was impossible to get them all in. It is tall and works nicely. There is a bottom tab for locking if you need to do that but you have to manually engage that.

It looks good - but functionality wise, it only really swings one direction once installed. my other ones went both ways. hopefully this lasts longer than 6 months. my last regalos only lasted 6 months (the shorter white ones that open in both directions -- the springs went bad on those. The handle on this doesn't use a spring so will likely last much longer! Much happier with this than the other ones -- just wish it would swing both ways!

These gates are well constructed, easy to set up (the cups are optional except for stairtop use). The instructions, as with nearly any product today are a little slim in instruction, but ok for most. The gate itself is a little slim, had to take them down for a visit from a friend recently who wouldn't have made it through the gateway. Otherwise, no complaints, works as described and well constructed (metal not plastic).

Pressure mounted so my gate is in between the stairs and railings had to rig it to fit since it closes by pressing the gate in, if that makes sense. Tall which is great since we have a climber, door entry is tiny and hard to walk through with the toddler. I also wish there was a pin at the bottom to keep it closed when the door was closed my kid already figured out the cheap plastic piece at the bottom to flip it up.

I laid the pieces out to see how they would fit together. I attached the screws as noted in the instructions, then placed the gate in the opening of the frame. This is when I noticed that it looked skewed. I measured the frame at the bottom and top and found a 1" difference, so this unit isn't close to being square. Picture 3 shows how much the frame is off, when I adjusted the top

Item came well packed. It is well made - metal not plastic. Solid. Easy to adjust for doorway. I have to slip sideways thru door but safer than stepping over a baby gate! Can install for gate swing direction. Using as a cat barrier in my garage door walkway so only using pressure knobs (must secure into doorframe for a child!). High enough so he can't jump over it. Removeable in fall. Now I can leave garage door open for ventilation. I ziptied plastic netting to the bars to prevent escape. Perfect for my need. Cat is still planning a breakout.

The height is great. The easy swing door offers comfortable accessability. It took a little adjusting to the door frame, to keep everything aligned so the gate would latch properly, whenever the dog jumped up against it. We are pleased with the gate.

Ok so waited almost 2 weeks to get.. I got it received it and tried setting it up. I have crown molding in my doorway. So without the 6" extention which comes with it it was to small and with it did fit but I had to go above the crown molding. I wish they were a little more specific about how it fit with and without the extention. So I ended up calling and they ate shipping a 4 in extention which hopefully will work with the molding. But it's working right now my 2 year old can't get upstairs anymore and the puppy can go under the gap to get to her food. Would I recommend it yes. But I suggest getting your measurements first, calling regalo and making sure it fits before you order. Because they aren't specific about the fitting. They just say fits 29-35". Not if you have a "33in" doorway which extention would be needed to fit. But it's a good product it works. And I would recommend it. But do your research first. And was decently priced. Note: there is a gap that will close itself up when you mount the gate. So don't think it's a manufacturer defect.

This gate fell a little short of meeting my expectations, but does the job. It was fairly easy to install and relatively secure, but the addition on the side is not as firm and stable as I had expected. When my toddler grabs the gate it has quite a bit more give than I was anticipating and if I tighten it any more the gate won't open. I do like that it doesn't have to be locked to be closed securely. I imagine when my little boy can actually reach the latch it will have to be locked so I'm glad I picked the tall one!
