I purchased the Regal Easy Step Wide Walk-Through Baby Gate to keep my puppy safe and contained, and it’s been a game-changer! This gate is not only functional but also looks great in my home. First off, the installation was super easy. It took me less than 10 minutes to set up, and it comes with everything you need, including pressure mounts and wall cups for added stability. The gate fits perfectly in a wider doorway, and the adjustable width made it a breeze to customize to my space. The walk-through design is a lifesaver! I love that I can open and close it with one hand, which is super helpful when I’m juggling groceries, my pup, or both. The latch mechanism is secure but simple to use, so I don’t have to worry about my puppy pushing it open. It’s also very sturdy—my energetic pup jumps up against it sometimes, but it stays firmly in place. The height is perfect to keep her from climbing over, and the spacing between the bars is just right to ensure she can’t squeeze through. Overall, this gate has exceeded my expectations. It keeps my puppy safe, looks sleek, and makes life so much easier. I highly recommend it for any pet owner looking for a reliable and stylish solution!

We bought this for a litter of puppies and now use it for our child too. It is built well and sturdy. We needed it in a larger opening for our stairs and it was big enough! Functions just as it should, easy to open and clothes, you can lock it if you child starts opening it in its own. It’s easy to assemble and looks nice and clean. I would recommend this baby gate!

This is an amazingly high quality pet gate - much nicer in fact than more expensive ones I've seen. After over a year of good behavior together, our smallest dog decided he didn't like our largest dog and attacked him which resulted in a $1K vet bill and a two week recovery for our small troublemaker. Installation was easy - well, my husband installed it so it was easy for me LOL. It has an easy lift handle at the top and can be locked on both sides at the bottom. After the first week of use we realized how sturdy it is and we don't even use the bottom locks anymore. Some pet owners, especially if they have two large reactive dogs might have to use the bottom locks but we don't. Separating reactive dogs is a pain under the best of circumstances and I can't even imagine trying to do so without this awesome pet gate.

My review is a little long, so grab a drink and sit back. I know that this gate is mainly for children BUT it is also listed under pet products when you go to the Amazon pet category. My main reason for purchasing this gate is because my wife is tired of setting up our existing gate system for our two small dogs (10 lbs each) every time we leave the house. The gates we own are an older model of the Evenflo Memory Fit II Gate, which work VERY well (the pressure is strong enough to where they don't/can't push the gate down). However, setting them up is a real pain and because my wife's mother purchased North States Supergate Easy Close Metal Gate, Bronze for their home, my wife suggested we get one as well because she really liked how you can walk through those without complete disassembly. After using that gate at my mother-in-law's house, I decided I didn't like the North States Supergate Easy Close Metal Gate, Bronze. The locking mechanism required you had to manually twist it back to lock it. Whether it was set up wrong or if it was an actual defect I'm not sure. But because of that AND the price of $50, I knew it wasn't an option for us. So after looking around for baby gates, I found this one. My main reason for selecting this is because (as of June 2013) it's ranked the #1 best seller for indoor baby gates, as listed here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/pet-supplies/166868011/ . Plus the price point of $22.97 at the time of purchase means that it was really affordable. Before I purchased this gate, I compared dozens of different types and trust me I really read the Amazon reviews. For this particular gate, I took notice of the many 1 to 3 star reviews (many which complained of the fitment to doors). Most of the warnings come from doors that are greater than 33 inches and when I measured my door, mine was exactly 32 inches... so I thought I would be OK. However upon installation, I'm kind of indifferent about it but I'm keeping it because it works. The following are my thoughts about this product. ## DOOR MECHANISM ## Although the door only opens in one direction, I really like how easy it is to open. You really can open this gate with one hand. Your thumb pushes the locking slider out and the rest of your fingers grip and pull up on the handle to open. To lock it (after the gate is closed), you push down on the handle and with enough pressure, it automatically slides the locking slider over the handle. That "click" sound assures you that the door is locked and that there is no way to open without going through the opening routine. ## GATE FITMENT ## The fitment is done by extra long bolts that slide in horizontally into the frames of the gate. As you turn the dials on them, they basically "unscrew" from the frame and go outward. As it goes outward, it will eventually touch the wall/door frame you are trying to secure. By continually turning, you will cause enough pressure where the gate will mount itself and stand upright. However not every door frame/hall are the same width and the bolts are only so long. Meaning they can only extend out so far until they either become too flimsy to hold the gate up OR are not wide enough. That's where the extensions come into play. You get a 6 inch extension with the gate but as with other reviewers mention, it's too wide for most applications. Since my door frame is 32 inches wide (and the gate is around 28 inches), I couldn't use the extension. I'm barely at the threshold of where this gate is too flimsy to be mounted at the door (I had to use the gate anchors) to secure it. ## GATE PRESSURE ## The way this gate is secured to the wall or door frame is by pressure. As mentioned in the previous paragraph, you turn the dials on them to tighten the gate to secure it. However, I have a few issues with this. The bottom part of the gate can be tightened as much as you want. Obviously the tighter you turn the knobs, the more pressure there is between the gate and with that, there is more resistance from movement. I'm not sure how it is with other products of the same type, but for this product, there is NO WAY you can tighten the TOP of the gate tight enough AND MAKE IT SECURE WITHOUT the use of the anchors. Let me explain why. If you look at pictures, the bottom frame of the gate is one piece and extends the entire length of the gate. When the gate is open, you step over that part. Structurally that makes this gate sturdy. However on the TOP PART, there is no such one-piece frame(that's how you walk through the gate). Because of this, as you tighten, you run into the issue that if you tighten too much, it puts pressure on the actual gate door and it won't open. If I've confused you, think about it this way... say you stuck a metal rod between a clamp where the ends of the rod are touching each side of the clamp... effectively turning the clamp's "C" shape into a "D" shape (the rod in this diagram is the straight line of the letter D). That straight line is the door while the ends of the clamp are the gate itself. As the clamp stays loose, removal of that rod (aka, the act of openning the door) is easy to move from the clamp. As you tighten the clamp (to secure the gate between the hall/door frame), the harder it is to remove the metal bar. It gets to the point where if you want it really secure between the door, you won't be able to open the gate because there's so much pressure between the door, the gate, and the wall. So then you have to ask yourself, how tight is good enough? Well, personally I was able to "push" the top part of the gate to where it slid out with relative ease. That in itself can be DISASTROUS, especially if you're buying this for the top of stairs. Now, I know a full grown adult male is considerably stronger than a baby, but still that causes some concern. A baby that can walk or toddler with sufficient strength can walk over and likely push/bang on this gate until it moves. BECAUSE OF THIS, YOU NEED TO USE THE ANCHORS. The anchors (supplied) are actually screwed into the wall and then the ends of the bolts fit into the anchors. By doing this, you prevent any movement of the gate. Because my dogs are pretty strong (and known to push on my other gates), I HAD to use the anchors. If my dog can push a gate down over time, then I can imagine a baby can do the same. ## USAGE W/ DOGS ## As I mentioned, my dogs are both 10 lbs each. One is really skinny/slender and long. I did read a review where someone complained and docked a star because their dog could squeeze through the gate, but that's not the case with my dogs. The spacing of the gate's bars are close enough where they can't go through and I made sure the gate was mounted center between my door frame so that there was no way they could escape on the sides either. All in all, I'm satisfied with this gate enough to where I'm going to keep it. I'm sure that when I do have a child I'll move this over to the stairs and have a better fitment than I do now with my dogs. Overall I give this product 4 stars. The removal of a star is from the "GATE PRESSURE" category, where the fact that you cannot SECURE the gate FIRMLY without the use of the anchors. Hopefully this reviews helps with your purchasing decision.

I purchased three of these since we were getting a new puppy, and we want to keep him out of certain rooms. They are very easy to install, and the included extension is perfect for those wider openings (e.g., entryway going upstairs). The gate is easy to open and close, and can be left locked in position or left unlocked for convenience. They come with circular plastic parts that can screw into the wall and into which the side supports can be placed into for a more secure fit. But we found that the rubber ends of the supports provide sufficient support without these screw-in parts. Overall, they work like a champ and we are very pleased. And so is our puppy.

Durable product. I like how you don’t need to install permanently. I like the height and actually used this for my cats. They were not able to jump over the gate so this was a very effective gate.

Pensé que era de tensión, pero si tuve que taladrar ya que mi casa es de block. Aun así está mejor, ya que así es más resistente.

Very very easy to install. Babyproof gate easy for lock function adults to use. The more you extend it the flimsier it get as a baby can move the metal gate back and forth. So far nothing has happened it has stood firm. Great value for money and a very good buy.

La reja es muy útil y fácil de armar, resiste bien los impactos de un perro mediano “loco” y se ajusta muy bien a diferentes tamaños de aperturas, cumple muy con la descripción del producto.

We bought two of these. One for the full price, and then the other for 1/3 of the full price because we ended up needing to replace an old one and it just worked out to be great timing. When you come into the front door of our house, we do not have much of an entrance way as we have a mudroom at the side of the house in the back and an area where people would take off shoes and such, so the front door is often just to check the mail and have the odd guest come through. The stairs are straight ahead, and then we have the living room on one side and the dining room on the other. We didn't want a gate that would ruin the stairwell wallpaper so we opted to have a gate on either side so that it would block our child two ways instead of one. These were fairly easy to install although we had to adjust the holders on the side a couple of times because it started to mess with being able to latch the gate but after three times we seemed to have got it. They are sturdy enough with the no hardware option and she definitely wouldn't be able to push them over or out of their place. At 17 months old though, she is all eyes for everything mommy and daddy are doing so she almost has it figured out how to open these -it's the sliding motion though that she just can't quite get because she needs bigger hands but she'll be able to open these two no problem later on. We love the fact that we could easily take them off the doorjams in which we have them right now, and take them with us if we are traveling knowing that they'll fit almost anywhere we need it to and the gate itself will cause zero harm, so it's multi-functional. We are thinking about getting a third and maybe even a forth for upstairs as we have a couple rooms that the doors do not shut all the way and she's not yet allowed in so we'll look into that soon. I'm pretty sure anyone buying four of something like this means that it's damn good. The only thing is that we think it's priced extremely high and think low forties would be more than enough to charge at regular price rather than bouncing all over the place with sales. Also, shipping was quick and efficient which is amazing since we live in rural Ontario and don't often get our mail that quickly! If you're considering buying this, just give yourself relief from the headache you'd cause yourself and get the gate! It'll be worth it and you'll be grateful that you were able to keep your toddler or animal safe!
