I purchased two of these high gates so I could keep my cats out of certain areas. They jumped right over them. Also, my skinny 2 year old 2 lb. Manchester Terrier could fit through the bars! My older kids were easily able to open and close them, which was good because they are 3 and 7 and need to be able to get to the bathroom. The "door way" is a bit small, but would have been fine had they been tall enough to keep the cats out. I've just decided to let the cats roam where they want and be sure to close the baby's door when she's in her crib.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have a 15 month old that is into everything! This gate is truly a blessing. He is getting taller so I like that this gate is taller than the normal ones. It was easy to put together and even came with a 4" entender piece for wider door ways. It is a little hard to open but maybe i just need to get the hang of using it more.

I really wanted to like this baby gate, unfortunately it doesn't fit a standard 32" doorway. The instructions state there can be no more than 2" between the gate and door frame but installation leaves a little less than 3" on either side. This would be fine for some uses (e.g., pets) but if you have small kids who might hang on the gate, it's definitely not secure enough. I checked the manufacturer's website to see about possibly buying the smallest extension but it's for openings 34". That said, I'll still give this a decent rating because the gate looks nice and installed easily. It's just disappointing that it does not fit the range of openings stated.

Love it! Took 5 minutes to setup and it is exactly what we needed. Been stepping over a safety gate for months so having the door access is great. We didn't need the extension but it is nice to have if we ever need to move the gate to a larger area. Just wish we would have bought it earlier!

Great quality! There price was reasonable. But. The doorway is VERY narrow. Both hubby and I have to go through side ways. I'm sure it was in write up, I guess it was just hard to imagine the narrowness. Love the tall height as well. The dog can't scale it like the other one we had. Good gate!!

First of all I think somewhere in the description you should mention how wide the actual opening of the door is. I'm no small girl and trying to get through it with a child in one arm and a bag in the other doesn't work with this gate. Was not impressed at all took it back to the store the next day.

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.

Using this to keep 3 chihuahuas enclosed in mudroom. Great that it's metal & they can't chew through! Bad that the gate didn't reach far enough to latch & we had to bend (squeeze) the gate so it would close. There was a large enough gap between the gate door for one of our dogs to squeeze through so we weaved some striping through the bars. Works great for our purpose now.

I bought this product to keep my dog out of the kitchen. it is too tall for her to jump over but she is able to see me. which i think she likes since she sits there and stares at me. I am 5 ft 5 and the gate comes to my rib cage. I sometimes babysit a 3 and 5 yr old. the gate is as tall as the 3 yr old and he hasnt figured out how to open it. the 5 yr old has. The only down fall on the product it the width of the gate. We can fit threw fine but if you have to carry something you have to lift it up over the gate. After seeing this at our home my brother in law is buying on for their 1 yr old to keep her out of harms way. they love coming here and being in the kitchen and knowing while we are cooking the baby is safe in the next room and we can see her.

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.
