Perfect for a Dog Gate with just a few notes (see pictures). The gate is tall enough to block a 65+lb. Rottweiler mix and sturdy enough to withstand her attacks on it [with some modifications...read on]. The included wall cups greatly increase the strength of the gate to stay in place against a pulling attack. However, the base of the gate opening (gate door) is unsecured. As you can see in the photo, there is just a small tab of metal welded onto the bottom of the gate door to stop it from swinging through, that tab offers no resistance to pulling. Ideally, having a swing up tab on the other side of the gate would greatly increase its resistance to being opened if you wanted to leave home and securely lock the gate against a determined dog escape artist. I plan to modify the base of the gate opening to provide a strong latch assembly. I give this gate 4/5 stars for design, attractiveness, value and appeal. Very happy with it as a dog gate even though its advertised as a baby gate. Also, the spacing of the gate bars is wide enough in case you have to pass a stair handrail though it (see photos).

This gate is sturdy and does the job in keeping my cats out of the bedrooms. It is definitely tall enough that our cats can't jump over it, and the grates are spaced so they can't get through it either. It is very easy to install in just minutes. My only criticism would be that the "walk-thru" opening is too small, at 16"W, and the extensions are wide for a standard doorway. Both my husband and I are small (a little less than average for our height), and have no problem getting through the gate opening, but when carrying things into the "gated" room it can be a little difficult. I cannot imagine anyone even slightly larger than we are being able to get through the gate smoothly. This is a design issue that the manufacturer should look at changing. This was made in China, where most people are small in size; this is America, where - well, most people are larger than them! Fix this issue, making the gate opening wider, and this would be a perfect product. It works for my husband and me, but I can see it not working for others, or when carrying items into the room.

I can't say enough about this gate. It has worked out perfectly to contain a very ambitious Husky. The height is 41" and great for larger dogs and when the wall pads are secured to the wall, it is stable enough to not be toppled down. I have mine in a 39" opening. The latch is secure, but watch out for chewers. Mine managed to actually unlock it by chewing on it and let herself out. I since have resorted to other means to insure she doesn't do it again. Would recommend this gate to anyone with a large dog that they need to contain. Would like to able to add a small 6" extension, but haven't been able to find one.

This BABY gate rocks. It does its job beautifully, and looks nice too. Set up is really easy, just make sure all the sides of where ever your putting the gate are tall enough to hold it! I ordered two and I didn't realize the entrance to our kitchen drops on one side, which made the second one quite difficult to get in place, but that was my error for not noticing before I ordered it, we did make it work tho. Anyway, this gate is great because it's tall, and the "gate" feature uses bars, not inlets or crisscross' s. The small holes and crisscross feature did us no good when we purchased our previous baby gates. They worked until our baby turned toddler and she instantly figured out how to climb it (toes in small holes) and unlock it, rendering our baby gates useless. So we had to purchase these, and I'm so glad we did! Should have purchased these to begin with. Their plenty tall, she can barely reach the top, and she can't climb the bars, exactly what I needed to contain this terror! And I just want to clarify something..This is a baby/toddler gate, designed for CHILDREN 6-36 months of age. I put children in caps because it's a child's gate, not a dog gate. So many reviewers stating "this gate got knocked down by my 45 lb dog" and giving it a bad rating... no sh*t sherlock, it's not for your 45 lb dog, It's for children. If it's not used properly it won't perform properly, keep that in mind. This will forsure hold back a toddler terror or baby, it will not hold back a large dog, at all. Even a medium dog could knock it down with enough force. If your trying to contain your dog get a dog gate or a kennel. They are designed for dogs for a reason. You could get away with this gate if your dog is on the smaller side, but to small they will slip right through the bars. The one handed operation is awesome, and theirs actually a rebound safety lock that locks the handle when you really need to ensure your little stays put, and can no way escape! Peace of mind for mothers and father everywhere. You can finally clean the kitchen properly or sit down and relax..for a minute at least 😜

Well our toddler is approaching 3, and suprise!!! She figured out how to unlock the gate ðŸ˜. But, before I go into detail about that, I need to clarify that the handles on this gate are plastic, and they WILL break if slammed down hard enough. We had both of our handles break, and we had to rig them to work again. Eventually the gate to the kitchen broke all together and we couldn't get it to open properly, I messaged amazon about my disappointment and my urgency for new gates, and they shipped out 2 bran new gates THE MINUTE they received my message, they arrived on my porch the next day, free of charge. Now that is customer service! Now onto the next part. As soon as I got the new baby gate up, our genius toddler figured out how to open them just by watching me set it up! So...what now? I thought. Luckily my husband is a contractor and solved that problem lickety split. He drilled a hole behind the red safety latch, slipped a lock pin in that requires some adult strength to open, and walla, the genius toddler is contained once again!!! I have enclosed a photo of the lock pin my husband installed in the gate. My husband did this, it does not come with this feature or pin. It was all bought separately. To be frank it's 1 step more to getting the gate open and closed, but compared to how many times you will wrangle your little one into the proper room , the lock pin is nothing! Keep all of this in mind. My toddler who is 2 months away from 3 figured this gate out no problem, she has excellent problem solving skills. Parents, if your little one is a mini Einstein, try the pin method. It requires the right size drill bit, the pin bought at a hardware store, and you're done! My 7 year old has trouble popping the pin out, so you know your little isn't going anywhere, ahhh peace once again ðŸ˜

We originally bought these gates to keep our cat out of our entryway.They're tall enough that she couldn't jump over them. But she was old, so I can't tell you how a young cat would do. I will say that we just had a friend over recently, and his Chihuahua was able to squeeze through the sides. So be careful about that!

Now we use them to keep our son out of the kitchen and stairway. They work great! Easy to use and install. I love that they can be adjusted to fit larger spaces (or smaller). They can also be attached to the wall for further security. The gate is wide enough that larger people can fit through it easily. The lock is also very secure, and most adults even have to ask how it works. There isn't anything I don't like about them.

We're very happy with these gates, and we now have my sister thinking of buying some for her pets. A great design, and a great product.
