I bought this gate to keep my pet rabbit from entering my bedroom unsupervised (he likes to chew the dresser). When I installed the gate in the doorway he could squeeze through between the door frame and the gate. When I added the extension the gate was too wide for the doorway. I finally installed it an angle with on end against the door frame and one against the wall in front of the door frame. It works because the end bars are closer to the door frame, but it doesn't look so great. I can see how this gate would be perfect for a baby or a larger pet, but my medium sized bunny who is about the size of an average cat could squeeze through. The step through is perfect and makes getting in and out of the room really easy.

The Regalo Easy Step Extra-Tall Walk-Thru Metal Gate does a great job of keeping my foster dogs safely corraled in the kitchen/laundry room ... even the worst fence-jumpers and escape artists! It's held securely by the little "cups" that screw into the door frame, so it can't be pushed over by an overeager, oversized pup. It opens and closes easily with one hand, thus freeing up your other hand to fend off determined doggies. The only drawback is the narrow width: If you're even the least bit "wide," I think it would be tough to get through this gate without doing a serious contortion act. I'm not sure why the company made it so narrow, but they might want to rethink that in future editions of this gate. Overall, it was a pretty good buy, and was the least expensive of all of the similar gates that we looked at.

Bought 4 of these at Walmart. The latches broke internally on 3 of them after approx 60 days of use but because they sat in their box for more than 90 days since we bought them for a vacation home, Regalo refused to repair them and told them we must throw them away per manual instructions and lose the entire $200 we spent. We bought the protection plan from Walmart thankfully but these gates are neither safenor durable and Relago will not stand behind their products even to repair cheaply made junk with more cheaply made junk. A baby can break these gates. Zero stars big thumbs down.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I needed a gate that would not only keep my 1 year old out my kitchen but also my 2 year old and I must say since I put it up I no longer have any problems with them going in there I no longer worry bout then hurting them selfs

I was very impressed with this gate when I got it because it was far less expensive than many of the other gates like it. Yet, I think this gate was easier to set up and use than other gates I have used in the past that were at least twice the price. And I love the height. I would highly recommend this gate.

Seems to be a good gate. My daughter hasn't managed to destroy it in the first few days. It was fairly simple to install. The only issue is for stairs. There is no way to install the gate next to a hand railing. I am going to have to modify the bars to make room for the hand rail to fit. Otherwise, seems to be excellent.

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.

Does not work for cats they can still jump over this. You can't carry items like laundry baskets though as you have to lift them over and that didn't work for my bad shoulders. I could get though but found it a little awkward but some larger people than I had more difficulty. I ended up buying a cheep wood screen door for my hall doorway as it still allows for air flow and that has worked really great for us! I thought I'd have to put plexiglass on the bottom but my cats amazingly haven't tried to tear up the screen and I've had it up 6mo.

The idea of this gate is great. However, we have a pretty standard stairway and the gate is too small we have to unscrew the tighteners so much that if you bump it a little it falls over. If we put the addition on, it is WAY too big. I got this gate for my miniature pinscher and he can fit right through the sides of the gate so we had to put 2x4's in where we had to loosen the screws so that he couldn't fit through. Also the handle is inconvenient. Its good for kids because it's kind of tricky for children, but when you have arms full of groceries it is very annoying.

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.
