I'm 70 years old & put this up alone. It's a tad unwieldy to do it alone, but I was able to do it without problem. I got it to keep two of my Chihuahuas separated because they will fight each other and there is a great disparity in their sizes. My space is 36 inches wide and by using the included extension, it fits perfectly. I am having knee surgery soon and knew I wouldn't be able to step over the gate I had previously been using. I compared many and decided on this one for the price quality, and reviews, and that it did not have to be permanently installed. I live in a mobile home & it's hard to find solid places to connect things to the walls. I did buy the wall protector cups (separately) to better distribute the pressure of the rods in order to keep from possibly making holes in my walls. The spacing between the slats works well for my littlest guy; he's 4-1/2 pounds and cannot go through it. I also like the self-close feature for when I am carrying something. With my old gate, I'd have to prop myself against the wall, balance the stuff I was carrying (usually dishes), then step over a 2-foot high gate. I'm only 5'2" so that's a big step for me. No more! I can open the gate with one hand & walk through. It also has a stay open feature, which will be very handy for me when I am recovering and having to use a walker temporarily. Need a gate for pets or toddlers? I highly recommend this one! Do be aware, however, if not permanently installing it, a big dog or an older child could push this over. Gravity and their weight and all that. It is not recommended for children over 24 months. All in all, I am HIGHLY satisfied with my purchase! Read more

I purchased 3 of these at the reduced price because the packaging was damaged. These gates are crucial in our new house to keep our two dogs where we want them. The auto-close is literally the best thing ever, it makes having to walk through gates throughout your house so much less of a nuisance. I did have trouble with the install. Its very straightforward and easy, I got the first gate installed perfectly, the auto close worked great! But the second gate I could only get it to auto close one way, and the third gate wouldn't auto close at all. I sat there for hours trying to adjust them to the point my finger tip started to bleed so I stopped and asked my handyman to take a look at them, hes awesome and fixed them no problem! But yea super annoying and frustrating, I even googled for videos or troubleshooting tips but found nothing, thank goodness for Rick! Read more

This thing is impossible to install. I've never been able to get the gate to line up correctly. I've even contacted customer service and they just tell me I need to install it better with the tension arms even. I literally sat there with calipers and a wrench (because when it gets tight, those tightening wheels become painful to turn) and adjusted those things to be exactly equal to a fraction of a millimeter and the gate still didn't close correctly. The closest I got was when I just disregarded the guidance and adjusted willy nilly until the arrows finally lined up and the arms were incredibly out of proportion. That lasted all of one day and the gate creeped out of alignment on its own.However, the gate closes with like three different mechanisms and even out of alignment, at least one of them still works. So for my purpose at the bottom of some stairs, I guess it's good enough. Last reason to dock a star is that compared to the other gates I own, I just don't like this opening mechanism as much. It has a slider button that you pull while lifting the gate up and it doesn't work as well or easily as some other gates, though this could be related to the impossible installation. Read more

It's a very well-made gate that's very easy to install. The only issue I have with it is that if you open the gate all the way, it doesn't auto close. That's probably how they designed it so that one could open it and leave it open if you desired, but for me I bought it for my kids room. We have a dog that decided that for some reason in that one room only, if she needs to pee she sometimes pees on the carpet rather than asking to be let out. My boys are very young, and so sometimes they leave the gate open which sort of defeats the purpose of having an impassable gate to that room but where the door doesn't need to be shut.I'd like to see the shutting mechanism be a little more aggressive, but beyond that it is a very easy to use gate.

Works for our needs. First thing I did was 'try' to close the gate and didn't work until I saw the yellow sign. If you are installing the gate correctly it will close. The width between our wall was 33 1/2 inches. I did need to use the extender. My puppy will be here next week and hopefully it won't go through the gaps. In the case it does I'll probably use the tube floats and put them on the gate. This might be tacky but the gate is temporary until our pup is potty/house trained. Read more

I was already familiar with a similar product so after reading the description I was willing to take a chance with it. I had just built a new deck and had two big dogs and wanted to be able to enjoy the deck on nice days without the dogs jumping on us so I purchased these gates in the hope of keeping them off especially when the grandkids were over.I purchased two gates which were very easy to install and work well. Yes I installed them outside which they probably were not designed for and I understand that but they also seem to be made very durable. Only time will tell. So far they seem to be holding up well.I would definitely recommend and purchase this product. Read more

I bought this to prevent my daughter from going outside and I have to say it’s a great, sturdy gate that’s easy to open and gives me the peace of mind I am looking for. HOWEVER please note that you do need to screw the mounts to the wall. The gate is pressure mounted to these pegs that you have to Install into the wall, so you still need tools for assembly. I don’t know why it says you don’t need tools.If you don’t want to drill holes, look elsewhere. But overall this is a great gate and I would recommend it. (I gave one less star because of this) Read more

Bought for friends who used old pressure baby gates to keep their dogs out of the kitchen. I personally grew very tired of stepping over the old gates, or the gates falling down, as did their other friends. I “gave” them this gate but after using it they insisted on paying me back. They loved it, as do all the other friends.It is VERY easy to install (5-10 min max), and the swinging door mechanism is easy to use, with one hand. It swings both ways, and will stay open if you want, or very little effort to shut it. It’s very solidly in place with just pressure, but comes with pieces you can use to screw it into the wall (I would guess that if you put it at the top of stairs, for a baby, it would be very solid).The price, quality, and features of this could not possibly have been more perfect. I’d give it 6 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars Read more

Moins "heavy duty" que d'autres barrières semblables mais franchement correct. Elle se ferme bien, est facile à assembler et point HYPER IMPORTANT: Elle est facile à ouvrir d'une seule main. J'avais mis la main sur un autre modèle plus solide, mais il était impossible pour moi de l'ouvrir à une main et ma fille de 12 ans n'y arrivait même pas à deux...Celle ci est facile et pratique. Bon achat. Read more

Great gate. Locking mechanism is the best. I also have the Regalo easy step extra tall and wide gate, but I prefer this one. Wish I had purchased two of these. Feels much more well built and solid. Bar design is nice and my strong son can’t open it. He’s 17 months and already learned how to open the Regalo. I use this one at the bottom of my stairs as it is harder for my son to mess with.

We used this to stop our small dog from going downstairs at night and destroying our garbage, or whatever small dog parties happen down there. This is great, and usually leave open during the day and close at night. I would highly recommend this for a situation like ours. When Sasha came up to the gate, she immediately walked away and knew she could not knock it over. Works great and no clean ups in the morning! Read more
