These gates are easy to use, strong, and tall enough for my dogs. I’ve gone through a lot of wooden expansion gates in the past, only to have them break or be very hard to lock or unlock. These are not only the easiest I’ve ever used, but they may also be the strongest too. These take only a second to put easily and securely into place and then remove when needed.In most cases you will not need the wall cups that come with these unless your door opening is uneven, s is one of my doors. I got two of these for two door openings. I anticipate years of usage for these to help keep my dogs out of the rooms I do not want them in.

Easy to use and great product now my dogs don’t bother me when I’m in the kitchen. By the way, they love the kitchen and they love to eat. Oh I saw one of my dogs with a ladder. Lol

Nosotros la usamos para que nuestro pequeño perro no suba las escaleras y nos ha sido super útil. El material se siente super resistente y de buena calidad y el mecanismo para quitarla/ponerla es super sencillo.

Es más frágil de lo que esperaba, lo requerÃa para la escalera y su instalación no fue sencilla, mi marido tuvo que adaptar una madera para darle mayor soporte. Es delgada

Bought this for my pet. Is easy to use, fits in doorways and in between walls to create a little area in which I can easily cordon him off to control his whereabouts. Excellent product would recommend it highly.

it's a decent product for the price range. Helps keep baby safe.I like that it's expanable to make sure it's the perfect fit.My baby is still young so it act as a baracade to prevent her from roaming throughout the house.Not sure how durable it is for when she turns two years old. But for now...at the crawling and cruzing stage it seems fine and does a good job.Pros:AffordableDurable (for baby's current age and movement)Expandable to make a perfect fitI can choose which direction the gate will openIt can be used as a portable gate. For example: The gate can easily and quickly be taken off the hinges (by an adult). And carried to a friends or relatives home. No brackets are required to assemble because I can tighten it to suction/mount/tighten onto a wall for additional security no tools needed.. (This is ideal for my baby's current age which is the -crawl and cruze stage).Con'sDon't know how durable or secure gate will be once baby starts walking etc. It seems like once baby starts walking she can press her weight against it and I don't know how durable the gate will be at that point. Becaue the gate oes not appea to be strong enough to withstand a baby's pressing their weight against it. Perhaps it will be secure. But I don't know. Once baby starts walking I will update this post.PS. Not sure if this has to do with the product or just something you need to consider before purchasing. I placed the safety gate at the bottom of my stair case using a stud finder to secure the gate into the wall. The gate came unsecure very easily. This product does not supply screws that is used with sheet rock. And I'm having a diffiuclt time finding the right anchor for the sheet rock at home depot/hardware store. I am having a difficulties securing the gate at that location using screws. However, because my baby is still at the crawling stages I use the pressure mounting to secure the gate at the bottom of the stair case.The gate is safely and securely attaches everywhere else it is placed at.But overall, I am happy with the prouct. It is a good deal for the price. I will recommend it.

This gate does it's job. It didn't work for where I was planning on putting it since there was a tall baseboard along the floor. It doesn't have very thick pads on the sides like the old wooden one we had, so it was unable to attach to the uneven wall. I ended up putting in another spot in the house and it works well. It doesn't slide very smoothly, in fact, sometimes I find myself using my foot to hold it down while I pull up on the other side. It also is very hard to keep it the length that you want it to be at. I found myself constantly adjusting it every time I put it back up. I actually made some marks with a permanent marker on the top to show where the ends of the gate needed to be. Overall, it does what we need it to do...it just isn't anything to brag about.

I bought this gate about a year and a half ago for my small dogs. It worked so well that I bought two of them.I first tried the cheaper wooden gates that you can get anywhere, the ones that have notches at specific intervals. The notches mean that the gate will only expand to exact intervals of about 1 centimeter long. But what if your doorway is in between one of those intervals? Then you're out of luck! That gate won't work. Or it will require some major muscle to jam it in tightly, which becomes a pain when you have to do this several times a day. That was the case with me and probably most people. You're just lucky if it works for you in your situation.This gate doesn't have the "notch" problem like the wooden gate I mentioned has. Instead, it lets you expand the gate right up against the door frame, and then you press down on the lever mechanism to increase the pressure and lock it in place. That means it should work anywhere, not just in special cases. And pressing down hard on the lever should not cause it to break - and with the right technique, it does not require tons of muscle power anyway.Also, once the lock is tucked into one of the slots that lock it into place, it's locked. It won't unlock by accident. To unlock it, you have to press down on it with a good amount of force and twist it out of the slot. That can be a little tough for an adult to do and to figure out at first. A small child or a pet won't be able to figure out how to unlock it and won't be able to overpower it and accidentally unlock it. That wasn't the case with the wooden gates I mentioned above. All of those wooden gates I tried could easily become unlocked by accident or by simply vibrating the gate or kicking it.Some people have mentioned that their gate was too hard to use, that it required a lot of strength to push down on the lever and lock it into place. They're right, and they're wrong. Yes, if you expand the gate so it's right up against the door frame before you begin pressing down on the lever, it will require a ton of force to press down on the lever to lock it in place. So here's what you do instead: Expand the gate so that it's right up against the door frame and then back off of it by a few millimeters before pressing down on the lever. The gate will lock tightly, but it won't be very hard to press down on the lever. If it feels like you're having to press too hard, just back off a bit and retry it. It's no big deal. Five seconds of trial and error should be all that's needed.I didn't try mounting it to the wall with the included mount kit, so I can't tell you if it's good or bad for that purpose. The gate is fairly light in weight, so it's easy to pick it up and position it into place when needed. And it results in a strong fitting, so I didn't find that I needed to mount it.One other thing, it's pretty easy for me to step over. I'm 5'10" tall. And others who were just 5'1" tall have been able to step over it easily as well. It's just tall enough to block toddlers and small to mid-sized dogs, but allows kids and adults to step over it without any problems.This gate is only about $10 more than a comparable wooden gate. Believe me, it's worth it.
