Regalo Safety 29-49" Easy Step Extra Wide Baby Gate for Doorways & Bottom of Stairs, Pressure Mounted Safety Gate with Door for Babies, Toddlers & Pets, Platinum

I got this for a pretty unorthodox reason but I'm really glad I did cause it's working out really well for me. I have a litter box for my two cats in the bathroom because it's the easiest place for us to keep it contained....unfortunately I also have two dogs and they will make a huge mess out of it if I don't keep them out of there. For a while I was using a regular baby gate but it was such a pain in the butt to have to step over it every time I wanted to go in and out of the bathroom. I also had to put a box on either side of it so that they could get in and out without having to scale the gate so I not only had to step over the gate, I also had to step over the boxes. And taking the more traditional baby gate up and down over and over again is not a fun task so I was kind of at my wits end. When I got this one I was hoping the bars would be just wide enough that they could fit their heads through but unfortunately they were just a little bit too close together for them to fit.....which ordinarily for most people I'm sure would be a good thing since these are generally used to contain more than one species of creature to one side or the other, haha. After looking at the problem logically for a few minutes I realized that I could actually just mount the gate in the door frame about 5 inches up from the floor so that the cats can pop under it easily but the dogs can't fit through it. And it works PERFECTLY. The frame of the gate is obviously higher off the floor so I have to remember to step over it and I suppose it could be a trip hazard for some, but I haven't had a single problem remembering. Install was actually remarkably easy and it was very well described in the directions - just insert the four pins in the holes at the four corners, hold it in the doorway, and then unscrew the tension cap thingies until the rubber feet are firm against the door. A couple review said it would be better with two people but I did it by myself in 2-3 minutes. I was dumb and didn't even measure my door frame first (Durp!) but even though the item description says 29"-39" opening I was actually able to fit it into the 28 1/2" door frame. Upon first trying it I was actually really afraid it was going to be a bust and not fit even with the tension caps screwed in as far as they would go, but with a little bit of exertion I was able to get it to squeeze in and then only needed to unscrew the caps maybe 1/8" on either side to get it to stay super firm in the door frame. This one stays in MUCH better than the wooden baby gates that I've always used in the past. Even at their tightest with the little notches that the metal piece fits into I could never get nearly as nice, firm fit as this one has. And actually at first I did have it extended too far and the latch kept sticking really obnoxiously but I unscrewed each side just a few turns on and it works very smoothly now. The gate also comes with an extender to make it up to 7 1/2" longer but I obviously didn't need that and ended up just storing it in the closet in case I ever decide to use it in a different area. The latch is extremely easy to use.....which would be a blessing and a curse for most people using it as a baby gate. It does have a little red "lock" that fits over the latch so that it can't be opened, but I can tell you right now my friend's very smart 2 year old would have this sucker figured out in a matter of minutes. I'm not really sure how you would avoid that though because unlike the baby gates that have the closure that can just be put on the other side, this one is right on top and pretty easily reachable. Fortunately for me, no matter how brilliant they are, my dog's don't have thumbs... ;) The metal of the gate itself seems really heavy duty and sturdy and all of the fittings were really nice quality as well. I imagine this gate is going to hold up for a long time and I actually think it looks more attractive than the standard wooden baby gates too. My dogs are pretty annoyed I've blocked their access but the cats and the rest of the family are all happy not to have to deal with that nasty nonsense anymore. :)

The gates are easy to use and easy to put together and set up. Dachshunds can not get through the bars. Very sturdy Quality is great, look good no matter where you put them. They can not knock it down.

We bought this to keep our cats out of a room where there is a door we like to keep it open most of the time for ventilation. Pros: - Fairly easy to install. Thorough directions provided, albeit in tiny font. - Mostly metal construction. Certainly strong enough for keeping our cats out of rooms. - Latch is fairly easy to use. It ha a spring catch for extra security, but we don't need that. - Pressure mounting. If you have a strong door frames or walls you don't have to mount this permanently. Optional screw-mounted cups (and screws) are provided if you do want a more secure attachment. Cons (If there were half stars I might have trimmed half a star for these.): - I can see their design strategy but the latch design is such that the gate will only open one way. Of course if you need it to swing the other way you can simply install it with the other face that direction, but then the hinge is on the other side. Worth noting: If I am standing in the hallway and want to go into a room with the gate in the doorway, if the gate hinge is on the right, the gate swings into the room. I guess one could take a fine saw and trim the plastic latch on the longer side to the same length as the other side so it could open either direction. The gate would then swing either direction but it would then require that you pay attention to line up the gate with the static catch to ensure the latch is engaged. Fortunately in our main room the door and gate swing in unison. I have another room where I was thinking of using a gate and if I had the gate swing into the room I would have to make sure the actual door was open all the way or else the gate would bump into the door. - The latch (and a few other trim parts) is plastic and would be the most likely part prone to breaking. I wish they had used metal. I guess if the plastic breaks and one was only using this gate for pets, one could improvise a latch with a bungee cord or something. Tips and considerations: - Do pay attention to the instructions. The final adjustment of the uppermost pressure points is critical in making sure the latch closes properly. - For shorter openings you will not need the extension piece provided in the box. - One person could install this, but it's a bit easier with two. - The gate on this model does not close automatically (I guess if you wanted it too you could use a bungee cord or spring). - The latch is a tad confusing at first but easy once you know how it works. There's a spring safety feature (the gray, rubbery part) which holds the latch down. It requires a firm grip to slide it sideways. You can do this with one hand but I found I had to grab it at an inconvenient angle (unless you need it I wouldn't bother using it). Pull this back, then lift up on the freed end of the white plastic latch lever. You'll see the two bars holding the gate in place pull back a bit, freeing from the fixed wall piece, letting the gate swing free in one direction. - If using this in a doorway, check your doorknob height. The 30" tall model was tall enough to deter our cats from jumping over it but low enough that it didn't block the doorknob. - The gap between the bars is 2.5". If you need something with a closer gap you could always attach some netting or hardware cloth with zip ties to the metal bars. - There's a catch at the bottom too, but you have to squat down to engage it. It helps stop the gate from rattling if you have something worrying at the gate. (There's two toggles that swing down. They are a bit stiff.) - If you're concerned about denting drywall with the pressure mounting points, you can buy special cups from other vendors that spread the pressure a bit. Alternatively, simply use thin pieces of wood so the mounting pads have the pressure distributed over a wider area. - There is a bar at the bottom that's about 1.5" tall which could be a trip hazard. All short pressure mounted gates have that, so if you are worried about tripping you will have to buy a gate that has permanent wall mounts instead. - This is designed primarily as a baby gate, though the manufacturers do mention using it for pets too. A few reviewers have mentioned strength issues. It is fine for our purposes to keep cats out of a room but I guess if you had a 110 lb. Italian Mastiff constantly throwing itself against the gate then that's a different thing.

Unfortunately I received this item incomplete. The extension piece was missing, therefore instead of the described dimension of 92.7 x 2.5 x 91.4 centimeters, the gate I received was only 70cm wide. It was not in original packaging, no manual (fair enough it’s self explanatory) and the missing extension. I was also disappointed to see that it in fact requires to drill wholes for the “mounting cups”. Alternatively if you don’t want to damage your walls you could just use it without but then it’s very wonky and unstable - it would fall by simple opening the gate. Overall the material of the grill itself is good but the closing mechanism is cheap plastic, which looks as if it would break after a few times using. As a result I have returned this item and will continue searching for a better safety gate.

Amazing - exactly what we needed. Even some adults cannot open it hehe

I like it as it’s pretty solid and it looks nice as it blended in with the place. I use it to prevent my dogs from going into the lift.

بوابة جميلة ورائعة في طولها ومناسبة ولكن مكتوب أنها تثبت بالضغط ولكنها لاتثبت يجب بالمسامير اذا كانت هنالك طريقة بغير المسامير ارجو مساعدتي وذكرها

100 percent follow the guide but still can't work, the lock can't match the frame so it can't be locked at all!
