easy to use in the right space, but kind of cheap
@_*Z. Pike
I just received this and it installed in just a few minutes. Anyone else reviewing this that claimed it was too hard to open with one hand probably has it tightened too far. There is a fine balance between too tight to open easily and too loose to be stable. But it only took a couple twists of the pressure mounts for me to determine the right balance.
I read the other reviews before purchasing and cfully measured the opening I planned to block with this gate to make sure it would work. Because, as other reviewers have stated, this is not a gate that fits openings 29" - 52" like the product description lists. This gate will fit in an opening that is approximately 29-32", roughly 35-38" with just the 6" extension, approximately 42-45" with just the 12" extension, and roughly 48-51" with both extensions. Unfortunately, if your opening falls in those in between sizes, you're going to find that you can't get a good fit. Either it's too big with the extension(s) added that you can't get it in place or w/o the extensions it's not very sturdy because you have to push the pressure mounts to the extreme end of their length.
My biggest issue with this gate is that it seems really flimsy and cheap compd to the Northstates, Evenflo & KidCo gates we have in other doorways thru-out the house. The overall construction is made of poorly done welds against the thin metal tubes. Since I put this in an a that gets high traffic, I'm concerned about how long it will hold up. But I guess that's what you get when you buy the cheaper option.
We're going to try it for awhile and see how it goes.

Should have ordered sooner
@_*YC
I spent 3 months undecided about what gate to buy to keep our small dog (about 6 pounds) in our kitchen a 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 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 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 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 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!
