Like the gate very much
Date: November 19, 2009
"I really liked the gate after it was installed..It worked well...It just wasn't tall enough to keep my puppy in the room.
Not having a lot of experience, I found it a little difficult to put together.
It took me 2 hours and my puppy 5 minutes to get over the top

Best gate we've found!
Date: November 8, 2009
"This gate has solved so many problems for us! Our boston terrier jumped over the last gate we had, but she can't jump this one. And there is nothing for her to hook a toe on and climb over. It keeps her safe in the kitchen while we are away. Much less stress in our house now! It's very easy to assemble and use. The gate opens and closes easily with one hand. Great product!!"

You get what you pay for
Date: November 2, 2009
"I am less than thrilled with the opening feature of this gate. It is difficult to pull up and maneuver the pin on the bottom to set the gate. The handle also does not lock down, you have to move it around for it to lock. I am looking to purchase a different one. The gate that I ordered is not the gate that was delivered."

broken handle
Date: February 18, 2009
"I had my gate for only 1 week and the handle broke. I thought maybe I just had a faulty one, but after reading these reviews I see it is a common problem with this gate. I will not replace it with the same gate."

Good gate, but the handle broke
Date: January 3, 2009
"I've had this gate for ~5 years. This gate is pretty nice and sturdy and has held up with a small dog and a 2 year old. Unfortunately, the plastic handle broke early on. I was able to keep it together with some duct tape for the last 5 years, but it finally completely fell apart this morning. I was looking to see if I could get a replacement handle, but it looks like others have run into the same issue and have not been able to get a replacement part. It's a shame that I have to throw the gate away, but without a working handle, it ain't much good."

Worst purchase ever!!
Date: January 2, 2009
"We have a Weimeriner puppy and we purchased this gate so we could keep him out of the toy room but still be able to easily walk in and out ourselves. Well we had to return it once and should have returned it again instead we got tired of it and just us it as is. It will not open and close when the tension is tight but if you don't tighten it the dog can knock it over. Total waste of money. Will never buy another product by this company again. Cheaply made!!!"

Does what it's supposed to
Date: November 14, 2008
"Can be a bit fiddly to fit if you have no-one to hold it, but it's quite do-able. A bit of common sense is needed to make sure it is not twisted so the top and bottom locators both align. Also, make sure you don't over-tighten the top fixings. The handle mechanism is plastic but you would certainly have to be heavy handed to break it.
If you have a small puppy or toy dog then the extra bars supplied with it prevent "Houdini" routines around the sides.

Great buy!
Date: October 11, 2008
"This gate was easy to install and allows us to walk through whenever we want. As we are getting older, this is very helpful. The gate is also surprisingly attractive. We are very happy with it. Best purchase ever!"

Great Gates

"These gates are perfect - you don't have to drill into your woodwork or walls and the best part is you don't have to climb over!"

Great gate
Date: June 9, 2008
"This was a great gate. I just wished it would have expanded a little more. Unfortunately I didn't measure the width of the opening and it was too short.
I was even thinking of building the wall out to accomidate this gate. My husband returned it the next day. We are still looking for a decent looking gate.
This one was perfect.

4-Puppies
Date: April 5, 2008
"I have 4 Pit Bull Dogs. 2 of which are males, that do not like one another. I have to keep them apart. The gates have taken a lot of stress from the dogs, and my self too. They are wonderful!!
I love my dogs and hate to see them fighting all the time. So if you have the same problems, I highly reccommend the gates.

Easy for us, difficult for them
Date: February 6, 2008
"This door is perfect for when you leave the house and have a puppy who loves to explore. It is easy for people to get in and out but very difficult for them. I have a big and smart dog and she has not been able to jump it or open it."

Great gate - best I've had
Date: February 5, 2008
"I have had this gate for 2.5 years and I love it. I have 2 pomeranians and I could not get along without this gate. It is across my bathroom door and gets almost daily use and I have never had any problem with it whatsoever. It swings both or either way and you can control that by the tab on the bottom of the gate. It is sturdy - and the vertical rods are less than 2" apart - so if you have a dog that small - your dog is TINY. I am putting that measurement here so you can measure what they can get through before you buy.
I have had 3 or 4 other gates - all work, but this one works the best, is the easiest to use, stays in place, really looks fine, is the sturdiest and never a mechanical problem - that is it works all the time, everytime, never breaks. I leave it up even when I am not using it as it is so unobtrustive.
I cannot imagine the problems some of the other reviewers seem to have with it. I find it the perfect pet or child gate and I recommend it.

These have saved me!
Date: January 26, 2008
"I purchased two of these gates for an area in my home where my doggies stay during the day. They are functional and considering they are gates, they don't look absolutely horrible. The quality is pretty decent. I have read some other reviews and to be honest, I can see where some people have had issues with the handles. I think it could be hit or miss. 1 gate gets most use, the handle works great. The other, I worry about but so far it is fine.
They really serve a purpose and its been a year of happiness for me and my pooches having these gates. I dog sit a neighbors dog and he is a jumper but has NEVER jumped my gate to get at my cat. He loves to chase cats. So it must seem a bit too high for him! I love the gates. I wish anyone luck with theirs. Mine work perfect!

not for small dogs
Date: December 28, 2007
"I bought this gate before Christmas and sent it back about 3 days after i got it. I have 2 Yorkies and they both and fit through the door way extension and get out. The gate also arrived with a broken handel. It was disappointmenting since it wasn't a cheap product to purchase. I would not recommend this gate to people with small dogs."

Horrible....I want my money back!!
Date: December 1, 2007
"Don't buy this gate!! It works for a while, then the handle breaks!! The gate was expensive and looked very sturdy. The handle mechanism is cheap junk and there are no replacement parts. Like a fool I went and bought a 2nd gate thinking something must just be wrong with the first....well guess what??? It happened again. Now I am really out of $$$$. Do yourself a favor, don't buy it. The people that wrote good reviews probably haven't had it for too long. A very disgruntled consumer!!!!"

Excellent! Until...
Date: November 19, 2007
"Until Charley the Boston Terrier got big enough to jump over it! I have been very pleased with this gate. Easy to install, the latch & hinges run smoothly, and the appearance is unobtrusive. It's also nice because my puppy can see through into the rest of the house. I don't know what I am going to do now that he can jump over."
