Just okay

We have a 47 inch doorway and wanted a gate that was pressure mounted, not screwed into the wall, so our choices for baby gates were very limited. Since this gate was just to keep our puppy confined to the kitchen while he's being housetrained, we didn't want to spend a ton of money on the gate. The only way we were able to get the gate to fit into the doorway (just barely) was to remove the knobs from one side to make the length of the gate a little shorter. It's not the most sturdy gate, but it seems sturdy enough to keep our puppy confined. If I were using the gate for a child, I would be concerned that a toddler standing up and leaning on the gate might be able to push it down. Note that we used the extensions - I think if your doorway was narrow enough that you didn't need the extensions, though, that this gate would be fairly sturdy and easy to install.

Should have ordered sooner

I spent 3 months undecided about what gate to buy to keep our small dog (about 6 pounds) in our kitchen area but still allow easy access through the doorway for our family including 2 children ages 5 and 7. Our doorway was exactly 48 inches (4 feet) wide and we wanted something that was pressure mounted so as not to have to drill into the wood. We have had the gate now 2 days and I only wish I had ordered sooner. Here are my thoughts about the gate:

1) Cheap - wow - for a metal wide, step through gate, you certainly can't beat this price (bonus - even has super saver shipping!)

2) Easy to install - my 5 year old son "helped" me. Was out of the box and ready for use in under 10 minutes. Notes - we have exactly a 48 inch opening and used both extensions (6 inch and 12 inch). If you have a space that is just under that - say 47 or 47 1/2, I don't think this gate will work for you with these extensions. We had JUST enough space to get the gate in place and tension it enough to hold in place. I believe they do sell a 3 inch extension separately however. For the price, however, you may still come out ahead of other gates even if you have to buy that.

3) Sturdiness - certainly sturdy enough for a pet and heavy everyday use. We used both both extensions and because of that, there is some flexing where they connect. Not sure I would 100% trust it for use with a strong toddler, but works great for our needs.

4) Latch / opening mechanism - I have uploaded pictures as this gate has a different latch than any of the other Regalo gates I have seen pics of. Maybe they changed it recently as I did see one review involving harm to a child from the latch mechanism. It is a very simple mechanism - basically a locking pin attached to a plastic slide piece. You slide it and then you can lift and swing the gate open. Since we are using only for the dog, the slide step is overkill for us (and my 5 year old could NOT do it). To "fix" this, I simply slid the lock to the "open" position and used a white zip tie to keep it in place. Now all we have to do is lift and swing - easy as pie, but obviously still works to keep the dog in place.

5) Step over - this gate does have a 1 inch bar you have to step over. Yes, I did already stub my toe once, however we are used to our other gate which has a threshold you step on, so just a matter of getting used to it no doubt.

6) Width - The walk through width seems just fine. Not quite as wide as our other gate, but easy enough for both hubby and I to walk through without turning sideways or anything.

7) Gate portion - STAYS OPEN - this was a key feature for me. I needed the gate to stay open at times, when the dog was hanging out with the family or was outside. It also swings open in either direction which was also important to me.

8) Width of bars - I read some reviews that the bars were wider on the side - as you can see in the picture, the bars are nice and narrow. No way our pup can get through!!!

All in all, I would highly recommend this gate. I am soooo glad I finally bought it!

Bought to keep dog out.

I bought this to keep my dog out of the living room thus off the couch. It was very easy to put together and fit perfectly. I like the fact it has its own gate so we don't have to take it down to walk thru. The dog is a 65lb pit mix and doesn't seem to challenge getting thru. It is an attractive durable gate. Also want to mention the tension adjustments are very long which allows for an even wider fit. Very pleased with this product.

Good gate for small dogs

I bought this gate to keep my bichon-poodle puppy in the tiled breakfast/kitchen area of my house. The gate was easy to install and has held up well to my 14 lb. dog jumping on it and trying to get out over the last 6 months or so. The locking mechanism on the door works fine but it's a little annoying to have to lift up the door each time you open it. I've also noticed that sometimes you have to adjust the tension mounts so the door lock aligns with the metal bar or otherwise the door won't close right (I had to do this 2 times over the 6 months).

Overall I still recommend the product. It's relative inexpensive compared to all the other baby/pet gates out there and it is a great value. I've had one of those cheaper wooden gates before and it didn't last long at all because my dog would chew on the wood and the tension mount gave quickerly over time. This metal gate is a lot sturdier in comparison and aesthetically blends in better with my house.
