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!

Don't get me wrong, this gate does the job to keep my dog away from certain areas, but, I think that it could be built a little surdier. I say this because it seems as though it is only a matter of time before my dog breaks the plastic holding the gate together with his constant pushing and shaking. But as of this moment, it appears to be holding up. I gave it 4 stars because it does the job but it is not as stable as other gates I have bought in the past. Also, the extension bars either come as 4 or 6 inches from what i have seen so far. It would be nice if it was offered at 6, but could be broken down 2 inches at a time. That would save someone a lot of headache when setting it up.

Came well packaged and with everything listed. Was very easy to put together and up. It's very sturdy. I have three dogs that love to jump and push off. This sticks where you put it and it's tall enough for them to not jump over. The slots are small enough so animals like puppies cannot squeeze through. It takes a little bit to get used to the door opening one way, but I love it. I'm a big woman(around 270lbs) and I don't know why other larger people on here are complaining. I fit through the gate fine. I'd recommend getting this if you have dogs who like to jump or kids that like to climb.

41' inches is great for your little climber. Eventually, more like any day now, hah, I am sure he will master this great par core style, but for now we have 3 of these Gates and there is nothing else like it. Believe me, we've been through to many for a little one that just turned 2

I bought this gate because it was so tall and it would screw into the wall because our walls aren't the same width all the way up so other gates didn't work. The gate has been a life saver for me, I only wish I'd gotten it sooner since my daughter is 19 months old. The only thing wrong with it is that two of the screws that came with it broke almost instantly into the wall and we had to use our own. If we hadn't had any here I would've given it a lower rating, but since we had some on hand it didn't set us back too much. As far as the gate itself, its very tall, sturdy, and my daughter loves it even though we thought she'd hate it. If it is ever open she has to go close it herself and she doesn't bother trying to run into the kitchen to mess with everything like she used to she just closes and opens the gate like a game, so it's helped especially with putting up groceries and things like that. Overall, gate is worth 5 stars, hardware is 1, but we made it work easily.

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 purchased this walk-thru gate because we had just got a 8 week old German Shepherd puppy and it works wonderful. I don't let my puppy into the other parts of my house (until she's completely potty trained anyway) and I put this up between my laundry room and eat-in kitchen and it works like a charm. It's tall enough that she can't jump it like other baby gates and would highly recommend if you have a large dog breed. Easy to install and very sturdy.

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.

The door opening is 17 inches wide. 17 inches! That's the size of a laptop, my kids MacBookpro screen is 17 inches. Imagine trying to get through this thing if you have a backpack on. We will make it work because the price isn't bad, but I don't know how I'll lug groceries, baby bags, and whatever else through and forth.

It is better then I imagined! So easy to install! I CAN open it ith one hand although other reviews said that they could not. Other reviewers said they could not close the door with it in place, I can...I have a door with a handle and not a knob, perhaps thats why. It is amazing! I only wished I had gotten it sooner!
