I love these gates! They are easy enough for my older son to get through, yet my baby can't climb it or knock it down. I needed my husband to drill it into the wall, but it's not budging! It's so easy to use! And the slots aren't wide enough for him to get stuck in. The opening isn't really wide, but it's easy enough to take down becouse the gate pressure mounts into the things that screw into the wall.

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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Installation took only about 15 mins. Mark where you want the cups to go before putting in screws as they can move easily. Must be square to operate properly. Note, you will have screw holes left in door frame when you remove it, so if you have a rental or that will bother you when you are finished with it..

I really like this gate. Although I didn't expect to have to screw anything into the walls, it was 4 very small screws & well worth it. It's great to be able to walk through vs climb over the gate. The opening is a little narrow, but again still worth it.

The first gate I ordered had a break in one of the cross members (a faulty joining process). `Returned it, got a refund, and ordered another one. The replacement works great and is high enough (41"} to keep my Jack Russel puppy from jumping over it. The gate door works easily and latches securely too. The puppy has tried valiantly to get through and over it, but to no avail. `Gave 4 stars instead of 5 because I got a "lemon", but I`m happy now.

got this gate to keep my two great danes from stealing food. the sight of a 25 lb. ham disappearing out the back door was too much for me. (yes, they can turn door knobs) it works perfectly: tall enough so they cant walk over it; fastens tight enough so they cant unlock it; sturdy enough so they cant bull-doze it. the measurments for door-way width aren't accurate. its very awkward to put together. solved the swinging gate problem by taping it shut with a thin sliver of duct tape. but once it was in -- magic!

Got my gate today, have pups and 1 yr old gr granddaughter. This door is perfect for both. I was worried that it might not fit my less than 28" door. Well it wouldn't have had I not come up with an idea. The gate is a little under 27" but once you put the screws in the ends, the tightening gadget are big, 1" wide and with one at each end that added 2" to the width. What we did is remove the tightening gadget off the top and bottom of one side and instead we just used regular hex nuts in their place and were able to tighten it just as well. Fits perfect. I don't mind that it only opens one way and the gate width is plenty big to get thru, like some complained about. It's nice looking and does the job. The price is reasonable also.

I bought this gate for my black lab. It was so easy to install. The extra tall size is perfect for the dog because he cannot jump over it. The gate is very durable. I've gone through 3 other smaller gates but this one has lasted the longest by far. I would recommend it to anyone in need of a gate. The only problem I can see with this gate is that the opening to walk through is very narrow. Other than that, the gate serves its purpose very well.

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 gate is tall and does the job. This gate is very tall and very narrow. I am 5’4 and when I am carrying a sleeping child through it is difficult. I either have to stand on my tippy toes to left them over or turn just right to get through. The height is great for opening the latch it is right there and seems very secure. Overall we are very happy with it – great for older children that can get over a regular sized gate.
