This turned out to be the most wonderful gate ever to keep my little monsters (Jack Russell Terriors) from getting into areas I don't want them in. The height is great, they can't get close to the top. It seems to be wide enough for most doors. It comes with an extension piece, but I didn't need it. I was able to put this up in 10 minutes (without the added door frame supports), but I could have installed it even faster with a second set of hands. It is very stable. If you can't get it to work, then you probably don't have the end turn screws adjusted correctly. If you installed the included (round screw in holders) supports, I think it would also be useful for large dogs. Overall a great price and product.

we purchased one of these about a year ago for our toddler grandchild and and recently purchased 2 more to prevent our 2 year old grandson from going up and down the stairs in our new cabin and we love them...love the fact that you don't have to bend over or step over anything...these gates are perfect

I bought this same one (different color) about two years ago. It's great. Easy to install, no screws or nails in the wall cuz it's pressure mounted. Main thing you should know is that it is not 36 inches tall. It's actually 41 inches tall. So it is extra tall. I don't know why they say it's 36. That's the max width. If you read further down on the description you'll see it says 36 by 41.

When looking for a gate to block off my hallway from my two crazy medium sized dogs, I knew I would need an extra tall gate just to make sure they couldn't jump it- which they definitely can't. My only concern before ordering this gate was whether or not my 6 year old son with SPD would be able to open it himself so he would feel trapped. This was put at ease with this gate! Since it is only being used as a doggy barrier, I am able to close the gate by pushing the handle down so that it is resting ontop of, rather than locked under, the red sliding safety tab. This way my son is able to open and close it on his own with no problem as long as the handle is not locked in place. The only thing I wished is that this gate had a larger walk-through area for bringing baskets of laundry through, or whatever you might be carrying. It seems it is a standard size though. Also, plan on hard mounting this gate! It definitely won't hold up unless you do. So if you don't plan on or want to put holes in the walls or door frame then this probably isn't the gate for you. This gate has worked great in our hallway. We also purchased one to block off my son's playroom. I totally recommend it! You won't have to worry about your little ones figuring out how to open this gate on their own when handle is locked in proper place- I found it to be a two handed operation although the box says one. Plus, your little one would have to be fairly strong and on tippy toes with hands over head to even attempt it, so I don't see how a 3 year old could do this as another reviewer suggested.

Gate is nice and sturdy, made of steel instead of plastic. Imagine that, something made of steel and not plastic. Unheard of these days. Like everything about it. Just wondering why 3 of the holes the pressure pins goes in are not threaded but the 4th hole is????? We put up the gate going into the laundry room where our dog stays when we are out. Easy to operate, no complaints.

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.

First and foremost the 29" to 40" is not quite the case. My door frame is 35". If I extend the bolts out far enough, they are at their very end and the whole structure becomes very unstable. If I add the extension, I really have to shove it in the frame and the wall cups are out of the question. And I need the wall cups as the pads slid right of the wall. Additionally, when the extension is end, if I barely push on the gate, that part bends. Definitely will not hold up to a large puppy and a toddler. Total garbage, buyer beware.

I bought one of these gates off another site then bought a second one from here. The height is perfect but the opening is so narrow everyone has to turn sideways to enter the room. It's not at all good being ONLY pressure mounted. I threw the screws and holders away on the first gate since I didn't think I'd need them for a standard doorway but you will need to install these...it's not an option like it states. It slips constantly but you can only tighten so much or the gate won't shut. The supposed 'rubber' grips are more of a plastic material(hence why it slips). When you shut the gate, you lower the lever to keep the gate closed, you push down to hear a click to lock it. I can unlock easily with one hand but others have to use both hands. The second one is installed with the 'optional' screws & cups and is very sturdy. So besides being narrow and not stable as pressure mounted only-it's a wonderful piece that I wish I had discovered sooner!

I looked for a baby/pet gate that was tall enough to keep out cats. I found only one other, but it needed two extensions to make it tall enough to keep out cats. It was also, with the two extensions, over $100. This gate is tall enough to keep out my very athletic cat and it's walk-through feature is great since we don't have a wide enough hallway to allow a gate to fully swing into it. The entrance is a little small (due to the walk-thru feature). It was wide enough for me to get through (carefully) when I was over 9 months pregnant and absolutely huge. Highly recommended.

Before buying this gate, I read all the reviews to see if people said it was effective for cats. At least a couple of reviewers said it worked well for theirs, which is impossible to believe unless they have REALLY large cats, REALLY stupid cats, or the product has been redesigned since their reviews. My cats walked right through, and they're average-size. So disappointing. Especially so since I had to buy two--the first arrived without the six-inch extension. However, WalMart did give me an adjustment on the price when I complained. If you're buying this for a child or mid-sized dog, it's worth a try. It seemed like a quality product for the price, and it's the tallest walk-through gate I found. I was planning to install mine a few inches off the floor for a little extra height.
