I actually bought this for my cats to keep them from going to certain parts of my house. Well, my one cat was so small she could get through the bars and my bigger cat could get through the space between the wall/ door frame and the gate. So I bought a trifold poster board to slide through the gate to keep them from getting through. So it still serves its purpose. Bc it's so tall, neither tried to jump it, so far.

So the height of the gate was what was important to me so that we could ensure our cats wouldn’t hop the gate. It’s advertised as 41” tall once assembled, we got the same gate but it’s assembled height is only 36”. We decided to try it anyways and have had a motion sensor camera on it since it’s been set up, so far it still has kept the cats away, they haven’t even attempted to jump over it, so it is working. But I was disappointed that it was 5” shorter than it was supposed to be. As far as the gate itself, it is fantastic. Just be aware that it’s not the height advertised.

Not only did it arrive looking somewhat dirty, like it had been stored outside, but it just straight doesn't work for a doorway. It's too tall. It interferes with the doorknob. You might be able to use it in a doorless area like a hallway, but thats not it's only problem. If you use the pressure mount method, it doesn't function properly. If you tighten it enough so it can't be dislodged, the latch area looses its clearance and you can't open it without fidgeting with it. If you loosen it enough for the latch to work how it is supposed to then it is too loose in the doorframe and can be knocked out of place with just a bit of effort (like a kiddo trying to escape!). Needless to say, I returned it!

Really liked the height of this gate and it worked well for our purposes with a little improvising. We are using it to keep cats and kittens from going upstairs so we had to add some cardboard with luggage ties so they couldn't get between the bars. Not pretty but it gets the job done. Easy to put up and take down also. Only negative is the opening is narrow and even for me, an average sized woman, I feel I have to go through the gate more sideways than straight ahead.

This gate is the perfect fit for my narrow doorway to my kitchen, it's taller than most of the other ones on the market (which I love) and it keeps the cat and the kids out of my hair while I'm cooking. It is super quick and easy to set up, I did it myself in less than five minutes, it comes with simple instructions with step by step pictures to help you, but you really don't need them. I would definitely recommend this to anyone with a 29 inch doorway or larger, it comes with an add on in case you have a slightly larger doorway as well, when it's fully together with the add on it fits in my hallway perfectly.

Item came well packed. It is well made - metal not plastic. Solid. Easy to adjust for doorway. I have to slip sideways thru door but safer than stepping over a baby gate! Can install for gate swing direction. Using as a cat barrier in my garage door walkway so only using pressure knobs (must secure into doorframe for a child!). High enough so he can't jump over it. Removeable in fall. Now I can leave garage door open for ventilation. I ziptied plastic netting to the bars to prevent escape. Perfect for my need. Cat is still planning a breakout.

We realized, after assembling, the opening to step through was too narrow to accommodate a person carrying groceries or anything else. Also, it didnt seem especially easy to unlock to step through without freeing up a hand, unlike foot activated locks (although we didnt really try to unlock it once we realized how narrow the opening was!).

This gate fell a little short of meeting my expectations, but does the job. It was fairly easy to install and relatively secure, but the addition on the side is not as firm and stable as I had expected. When my toddler grabs the gate it has quite a bit more give than I was anticipating and if I tighten it any more the gate won't open. I do like that it doesn't have to be locked to be closed securely. I imagine when my little boy can actually reach the latch it will have to be locked so I'm glad I picked the tall one!

Gate is easy to install but the PLASTIC pieces used to tighten the gate don't hold the pressure well. You have the option to use screws to hold it in place but that defeats the purpose of the pressure gate. LOVED the height! The handle to open the gate however does require both hands which can be very dangerous when you are trying to get through from the bottom of the stairs and the gates at the top. Holding a baby or laundry basket poses a huge fall risk! And lastly I hope you're anorexic if you wish to walk through this gate without having to turn sideways! Poor design all around!

Ok so waited almost 2 weeks to get.. I got it received it and tried setting it up. I have crown molding in my doorway. So without the 6" extention which comes with it it was to small and with it did fit but I had to go above the crown molding. I wish they were a little more specific about how it fit with and without the extention. So I ended up calling and they ate shipping a 4 in extention which hopefully will work with the molding. But it's working right now my 2 year old can't get upstairs anymore and the puppy can go under the gap to get to her food. Would I recommend it yes. But I suggest getting your measurements first, calling regalo and making sure it fits before you order. Because they aren't specific about the fitting. They just say fits 29-35". Not if you have a "33in" doorway which extention would be needed to fit. But it's a good product it works. And I would recommend it. But do your research first. And was decently priced. Note: there is a gap that will close itself up when you mount the gate. So don't think it's a manufacturer defect.
