This gate is used to keep my Mother from accidentally falling down stairs. It is a good deterent and bolts into the wall (not tension) so it has a little more support. The gate part is a little narrow for any big guests coming to visit..but we manage for the safety of Mom. The gate is tall and much better than baby or pet gates for our purpose. Not a bad price either. Thanks WalMart

Love this gate!!! I have 3 big dogs and I didn't want them in certain rooms and this did the trick. It is tall so they can not jump over it and it is very sturdy. It also was a synch to put together. I made it more secure by driving in the screws it came withalthough I really don't think I really needed to but still glad I did!!!

So my soon to be two year old has figured out almost every gate we have owned, until now! This gate is the perfect height so she can not move the dining room chairs over to the gate and climb over like others. The locking latch is perfect because we can slide it over with our hands covering it so she doesn't see what we are doing, which means she can't figure out how to unlatch it! You do need to screw it into the door frame but that wasn't an issue. The only thing I don't particularly like is the bar on the bottom that you have to step over, it is about an inch high, we haven't tripped over it yet and hopefully we won't. Another thing I would like to point out is that the gate opening is not very wide so it is a little tricky carrying my toddler and diaper bag through it but I have gotten used to it. Overall this is the best gate I have ever purchased! I would recommend it to anyone with kids or pets.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got it for my dogs because my kids are older and don’t need one anymore, it works great for my dogs! They can’t knock it down or jump it , we’ve been using it for about 2 weeks now and have had absolutely no problems!

This is an excellent way to keep pets out of specific areas in your home. We have tile in the kitchen and hallway areas in our home and during the winter months the dogs will need to stay indoors more often. One entry way has a pocket door that closes off the kitchen from the rest of the house, the other was an open entry. The gate is great!! It fits perfectly and the swinging door is essential when we are home. The height is another plus with this gate. Well worth the money and peace of mind.

This gate is made of high quality materials and is very easy to use. I bought the gate to keep my dogs out of the living room and it working out great! I have a very small chiweenie and was worried about her getting through the openings between the bars but she is unable to as the bars are closer together than I originally thought. The price is well worth the value of this gate.

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.

Pros: BEST price of any tall gates; easy to install, tall. Cons: hard to open with one hand; gate opening may be too narrow if you're trying to pass through with a large load of laundry or trash bags, etc; if you use extensions then the gate isnt as sturdy. I have two 95lb dogs and they were able to knock the extended gate down at first. After minor reinforcements, the gate is sturdy enough to hold them back! Still glad to have this gate--Great deal!

I purchased this to try to stop my cats from wandering upstairs and so far none have tried to squeeze through the bars. There is only one space possibly large enough and that is at the door and it would require lots of investigation and some major wiggling. So far so good. I also decided to not use the wall cups to keep from having to patch holes since my house is for sale and it still is very stable. The only minor problem is the gate is a little narrow and you need to be careful going through when carrying things. It is very easy to remove and put back though.

Our first gate did not keep our daughter as secure as we wanted, since she discovered how to climb it and we began to worry that she would fall and hurt herself. It is not possible for her to climb this gate since it has vertical metal bars. It is also too tall for her to reach the top and hang from (as though she were doing chin-ups), as she had also done with the first gate. It was definitely worth the time to wait for this gate to be delivered, since the price was much better than we had seen in other stores!
