Note of experience
This is great tool for what I needed. Young puppy control. Just my though: I will say when purchasing fully think through your need. As time went on I realized a better gate was one that had a door to go in and out without removing the entire gate.

Does NOT come with hardware!!
Garbage. 3 weeks and was broken. Purchased online as I live an hour plus from my nearest Walmart. Description says hardware for hanging was included. NOT. Used anyway as it was needed, as a pressure mount. But within a few weeks, the locking bar broke. Cheap plastic. Is getting returned. Buying another one elsewhere

    Good product arrived dirty
    The gate is great, just what we needed. However it arrived absolutely filthy! We had to hose it down and wipe it clean before we would even consider using it.

    Sturdy and Affordable
    I love it! It is super easy to open and close. We installed it so that it is hinged. We are able to open it and swing it up against the wall going up the stairway if we choose to leave it open. It is a great way to block off the stairs. I was surprised at how nice it was for the price. It is a very sturdy gate and even the 6 year old can open and close it easily.

    Ok but tough to lock
    I bought this as well as the position & lock tall gate and I much prefer it. It may just be the size of the opening (but it's standard so..?) but it's hard to lock into place. The plastic is sturdy but so fustrating to get to lock in place. Do yourself a favour and get the wooden tall position & lock gate.

    fits the opening well
    It seems a bit flimsy compared to others I have, the plastic is lighter. There is also a bit of a learning curve to latch and unlatch it. Overall I like that its a one-step adjustment.

    Sturdy and will last for years.
    This will fit a stairway and a hallway. We use it to keep our fur baby from going upstairs when no one is up there.

    was just a little hesitant
    After reading so many reviews I was hesitant to buy but it has been excellent and did just what I wanted. I have a large cat who does not jump over things and I wanted to use the gate to keep her out of two rooms. She tried to jump it one time. Since I just had it against the door and not mounted , the gate fell over and kitty learned not to try to jump it. Fits really well when pressure mounted to a 42" door frame. Well worth the cost.. I am very pleased.

    Great gate for the money
    This gate is exactly what I need to use on a staircase to stop the dog from getting into the bedrooms. The locking device holds the gate securely in place and it is easy to open. The gate does require the walls to be even to work at its best. My wall has a large baseboard which doesn't allow the gate to sit flush against one wall, but the gate does still sit securely in the spot I need it to be in order to stop the dog from going upstairs. The gate arrived right on time. I was notified by WalMart via text and email when the gate was available to pick up from the store.

    Works fine for regular door frames
    I wish more gate products would say if it will work when there is a 2 to 3 inch high base board in the door frame. This one doesn't. So,I improvised and put 1 1/2 inch round furniture leg pads stuck on to each round rubber piece like 3 on each for the left and right top ones. It sort of works. FYI the pink one was cheaper than the blue one.

    Very sturdy construction
    Bought two of these gates to block off stairs from 1 year old, very sturdy. Had a little problem wall mounting for swing open, due to odd size of stairwell, and could not lock in position with bar. Put a couple screws to hold at right size and works great. Would have been nice if there were more size allowance with locking bar, but can be worked around. Without mounting as swing open, bar would hold firmly in opening.

    Sturdy
    It was easy to install and it's sturdy when it's locked. I have it blocking the top of my steps. My son stands near it and pushes it and it doesn't budge. I have also tried to move it when it's locked and it stay in place. The lock is a little strange to get use to because you pull it up and fit it in a slot to lock. It wasn't expensive so I wasn't expecting it to be great to look at but it's really not bad. I've had several people ask me where I got it. It serves it's purpose and keeps my son safe.

    Overall great value but with some limitations
    This gate is a great value at this price but I had to go through some alterations as to how I installed on the top of the stairway. I wanted to install this gate as a 'swing gate' with some type of locking system so that my baby cannot open it by herself. I tried installing with the hardware they provided but they are lacking some sturdiness and functionality. so, I went on my own and designed this gate myself. First of all I had to use 2x1 wood to secure the wall mount as direct mount was not sturdy enough on the drywall to withstand everyday swings. So I used the wood to place them between the wall and the bracket. On the other side, I also used the wood to work as a gate swing stopper. I screwed the wood on the wall frame and this acts as a stoppage of gate. this worked out well as the end but if you're not a handy person, this gate may have some limitations of functionality as you would have to open and close the gate with level to lock with pressure everytime which can be a lot of hassle.

    It is sturdy and it is keeping my two year old from entering the kitchen. I had a wood one and she could shake it and open the lever, with this one she can't shake it as it is very tight in the walkway and there is no way she can open it, because I can barely open it myself.

    I had to return this product because it was a little too high for me climb over so many times a day. I bought it to keep puppy from bedrooms and bathroom (cat littler box). But it is a very sturdy gate. Does what it is supposed to do and great price.
