This gate is easy to set up, but is not very strong. We have a 50lb dog that can easily knock this down if it is not EXTRA tight, to the point you have to loosen the gate to open the door! This would work well to keep an animal out of a particular area or would work well for SMALL children. Does not work well to keep a dog confined in a room unless it is a small dog.

I have gone through a few gates by various companies. I was tired of climbing over the small wood one I had. I then had a tall metal one that I couldn't climb over and it didn't open. I found this one and the second it was set up I loved it. The height is great and will keep my large dog away from the front door yet allow me to pass through. So: the height is great, very easy to set up, the ability to open the door and walk through is awesome, the locking mechanism is great, the price was reasonable I would recommend this gate to people with pets of all sizes and /or small children.

I bought these gates to place in doorways to keep my two cats from entering rooms that I wanted to keep "kitty-free". They are working great. The gate is high enough to deter them from trying to jump over and the bars are spaced close enough to prevent them from sliding between (which was a concern before my purchase). I am now able to keep all rooms of my home well-ventilated and open to sunlight since I no longer have to keep doors closed. Since I am only trying to keep cats out (not toddlers or large dogs), I did not use the screw-in door frame mounts. I only needed to use the pressure rods alone and it is very secure in the doorway. The easy-open gate is very convenient, and though the opening is fairly narrow, it is plenty wide enough to pass through easily. I think the gates are an excellent value of the money spent. I haven't found anything even close to comparable for the same price (or even higher priced). I highly recommend this product and hope this review is helpful to a prospective buyer.

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!!!

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

My cat has been urinating in all the wrong places. I went to Walmart and picked this up, installed it in about 15 minutes, and now she is confined to one room. Very easy to install. Before setting it into the door frame, it appeared that the gate latch could not possibly get close enough to the gate frame latch to actually latch closed, but once I tightened the pressure thingies, it all came together perfectly. Very pleased!

Finally, someone designed a gate with small children and pets in mind! I purchassed this gate to keep my puppy in one section of the house. She was able to either climb or jump over every other type gate we purchased, plus my children felt trapped from her. If they wanted to play with her I had to carry them over the other gates and then take them out when they were through. This is designed so that it is easy enough for them to open and close the doorway themselves, BUT it does have a locking mechanism so that I can keep my 3 year old from playing with it as well. I can't say enough positive things about the height and verticle desgin of the bars. I no longer have to worry about my children or pets getting hurt trying to climb over! The tension bars were a bit tricky to figure out, but once you realize how they work, they secure to the wall perfectly. This product is a great value and should be carried in every Walmart store, not just online. I would have purchased several of these gates a long time ago had I known they existed. As with anything new, read your instructions and have patience when installing. The gate does work and you will be very pleased!!

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.

Gate is sturdy and well built. Securing to walls is strong and well thought of. Pros: if installed correctly, would be hard to knock down. Locking latch takes two hands and well built. Cons: for me opening is small. Bar across the bottom, trip hazard. Believe if kicked enough or stepped on, would eventually bend. Lock is hard to manage if in a hurry. All said and done, using it to separate dogs from bedrooms. So it will work for that if you don't have to travel in or out a lot. For what I paid great deal. Current price OK deal

Ordering was easy. The items came a day earlier than originally. It was very easy to install. The gates are sturdy. I bought the gates to contain the dog's in the kitchen when not home. Does a great job for that. Soon they will be used to prevent the twins from falling down the stairs.
