I purchased this to use as a cat gate. We needed to keep our cat out of a room without having to install a full door. This works wonders for our situation because the cat can't jump over it or fit through the bars but yet my 4 year old son can easily open it himself. The locking mechanism is a basic baby gate spring loaded lock so in my opinion it's easy for a 3-4 year old to figure out. I would definitely recommend this gate to anyone, it's a great value and a great product.

This gate does the job but compared to another gate the locking process is more complicated. It is best done with both hands and the gate opening is very narrow. For the money and the location where I needed the gate, it is a good value. I would not want this in a high traffic area due to the narrow opening and more cumbersome lock.

If i could give this a half a star i would. We just received our gate today. We followed all the directions on assembly. Unfortunately, the steel or metal that the manufacturer uses to make this gate is of very very poor quality. The metal was bent out to the side even with the alignment screws in place. Because the metal was bent, the lock wouldnt even line up with the other side of the gate. And thats the other problem. It may have been missing the piece on the other side of the gate because there was nothing for the lock to lock on to. I am very very displeased with this gate

I bought this gate orginally to keep a standard sized, very active poodle in a mud room when we didnt want her out and about and used it to keep my baby out of the dogs food and water,, I purchased a second one to keep the baby out of my teens room, and now that the baby is three, we are using it to keep the dogs out of her room, as she is big enough at three to open the gate and go in and out of her room, but yet keep her door open so I can keep an eye on her. Now I am buying two more, one for the extra bedroom and one for the basement stairs, as the goldendoodle just went through my wood gate I had there. Wonderful sturdy gate,just not recommended for kids big enough(my daughter just turned 3 ) to open it if you are trying to keep them out of somewhere

I bought this gate to keep my furbabies out of the front doorway so my guests could come in without a stampeed trying to run out the door. At first I was a little worried ith bars were too far apart & theyed get through being that their small dogs. Nope! The gate is absolutely perfect, except ONE little issue, from the picture shown in the website ad, it appeared to fit a wider doorway, ie extensions for a proper fit. Which is the main reason I purchased this gate. It only comes with 1 small 4in extension. I now need to order another extension to have the fit I want. Other than that. The height is also perfect if you have any problems with bending or stooping to open this gate. Again , its perfect for my needs.

The pressure at the top is inadequate. I have another, shorter, Regalo gate and it works great. The pressure at the top is strong enough to hold it in place and it never falls despite walking through it all day every day. This taller one doesnt hold up the way the shorter one does. Every time younwalk through it it falls through the door way. The screws just tire uo the door frame and fell out

Works perfectly for my dog. Just make sure you don't over pressure it because then you can't open the door with ease. As long as you get the pressure just right it will open and close with no problems. Also make sure you look at the bottom of the door to know which way you want it to open after it is installed.

This metal gate is very light weight and easy to install. I did not secure it to the wall. I just used tension settings to hold it in Place. It is strong but a large dog can bring it down. Once the dog was trained not to push it over it has worked great. It is a gentle reminder that the dogs must stay behind it.

Great pet gate to keep my 2 cats and 2 dogs in my room. Because I don't want my pets to wander all over the house. Got the extra tall feature to keep my 2 big cats (11 and 16 lbs) from jumping over the gate. It's been working great! It was very easy to put up, no installation required. Only complain was took a long time to receive the product (3weeks).

This gate has allowed us to keep the dogs confined to one part of the house without us having to continue to climb over conventional baby gates. The extra height also prevents our larger dog from jumping over. No more climbing over gates carrying heavy objects.
