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 have a super tall 2 yr old that could hop any gate. This one works well cuz it's extra tall ( most stores only carry 36 in as extra tall).. The open bars are nice cuz she can see thru but not have anything to use to climb over. The walk way is a little narrow. Thankful to have sleep again, and a sleeping child!!!

For the price, its a great gate. Its tall, just like we needed. Easy to put up. No screws in the walls. Door width is perfect for me to walk though but everyone else has to turn slightly to completely to the side. We got this for our dog and pet pig so its perfect for us. The dog can't just over it.....yet (she's a boxer) and firs tight enough so the pig can't plow through it like the wooden ones. Wish the door swung both ways. That would be my only complaint. For us its really not that big of a complaint but I can definitely see where it would be an inconvenience to some.

We needed an extra tall gate with narrow gaps between the bars to keep a small cat (8 lbs.) from entering our bonus room when guests were staying over - and this miracle of a gate did the trick! It is simple to install, easy to operate, and - positioned at the top of a staircase - it's too tall for our cat to jump over and the bars are too narrow for her to squeeze through. There are not many gates out there that pass the cat test, so we're super-duper happy we found this one! The only cons don't really apply to our situation, but here they are: 1) gate door is relatively narrow so it may be tough for some large people or items to pass through it easily, and 2) the pressure mounts work well for keeping a cat at bay, but for larger dogs or toddlers you may need to screw it into the wall. Two more pros worth mentioning: 1) solid construction - it doesn't feel cheap, and 2) open/close mechanism is easy to operate!

I needed this gate because it is the tallest one I can find on the market. I have a cat and I'm moving in with a roommate with two dogs, one of which is a jumper. I read great reviews about this gate stopping large dogs, such as huskies and german shepherds so I wanted to give it a try. As someone previously mentioned, if you tighten the screws to fit in the door frame, the gate itself won't open. In order to open the gate, you have to loosen the screws, but then you run into the problem of it not being stable and it can be easily pushed down by a 40-lb dog. As reference, I'm using it for an area that is 30in wide, so it's well within the range of this gate. I'm going to try mounting it with screws into the door frame to see if that will fix the problem.

This gate is excellent. Actually using this to restrict our dog who is fairly tall. The gate has a lock that you can use or not. Also this gate is not one of those child proof that you can never get open. The value is there love this brand, now to convince my husband to get another one to replace the "brand" name one we have that is not doing well.

Like a lot of folks reviewing this gate I bought it to control our dogs.We have a shorter gate but a couple of our dogs could jump over it,this one has stopped that. The gate is well made & the black finish is nice..but there are 2 things that I wish were different. First one is I wish the product was just a little bit wider so you didn't have to spread the the stem mounts out so far in an average door way,it makes it a bit unstable.But it does come with some wall mounts to secure it better,so that helped.And the actual entry gate could be a bit wider. Secondly the gate has a stop at the bottom(which I intend to cut off) which prevents it from swinging both ways.So depending on where you install it,it has swing either in or out & it gets in the way.But like I said I'm going to fix that problem. The gate is tall,I'm 6'2" & the gate comes to my waist.As I previously mention the walk through is a bit narrow,so I could see it being a problem for a shorter person walking through carrying a child or basket of clothes etc. Also when the latch is fully latched with the locking mechanism in place it's almost a two handed operation to open it. With all that being said it's still a good product & fits my needs but may not be the right gate for some folks. As far as the ordering & shipping,that all went smoothly & actually got the gate one day earlier than expected.....

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a nice, sturdy baby gate. It’s great for my toddler and our dogs. It was easy to install and use. It’s nice that the gate opens for when I’m in a hurry. I like that it’s tall so the dogs can’t jump over it.

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.

We purchased gate to keep 3 cats out of bedroom and 1 dog (cocker spaniel) inside of bedroom. (Cats aren't crazy about the dog). We've only had the gate for a little more than a week. It was easy to assemble, according to boyfriend, and appears to be fairly sturdy, although it has begun to squeak after only 10 days. We can't put screws into the door frame (we live in a co-op), so we put double-sided sticky tape on the door frame. This has made the gate less likely to dislodge from the frame. So far, none of the cats or dog have attempted to knock it over or jump over gate. The bars are close enough so that none of the cats; including the smallest cat can squeeze through. It is easy to open and since there are no small children in the home, locking the gate is not necessary, making it very easy to operate with one hand. My only suggestion would be for the gate to swing shut. It does reduce the amount of space to walk through, but so far this has not been a problem.
