I purchased as a tension only gate and it's fine for my polite dogs, and the vertical only bars make it not fun to push on anyways, but a determined child or dog could push it down if you don't install the cups. But this would have created screw b holes that I Don't want to deal with for what I think is a temporary gate.
However, I still give it 4 stars because the other tension gate I bought for much cheaper didn't function at all and didn't have the walk through feature.
All in all, I would purchase again (and have) but don't expect it to be pull/push proof unless you drill holes.
It's really easy to open / close so if you're idea is to keep a toddler corralled....good luck. A smart one at least. Heck, a dog could open it if it knew what it was doing. My only wish is that it would be great if it came in other colors. It's not a bad looking gate so a black or grey would be nice.
Prior to purchasing these gates, we used other pressure mounted gates. Those worked well to keep the puppy contained, but were too cumbersome to put up/take down for human passage which meant we had to step over them (while not a big problem for my husband, it was quite a pain for my short chubby self).
So, we checked these out and they are AWESOME! These gates allow for easy passage and work to contain the tiny terror (puppy). The latch is easy to operate, even one-handed. My husband installed them easily in about 15 minutes each. They are pressure mounted and will be easily removed when the time comes.
The gate mechanism itself is great. I love how easy it is to use with one hand. This product works well and even if I hesitated spending this much on a temporary baby gate, I see why this product is worth the money. This specific model only swings one way, so if you want the door to swing in either direction, this may not be the product for you.
I’ve used gates for children, babies, and pets many times and bending over to open or step over is a hassle. These are by far the best design ever.... you just lift a lever and swing it open. Easy as pie.
We separate gates for all the rooms and we can regulate our puppy anxiety easily. I wish we had these in the past they would never have left.
They are fully adjustable to fit doorways and hallways. The extra pieces when not used for doors allow for even wider placements on your other remaining gates. No need to drill holes as they hold fine. If using at top of the stairs I would definitely use the screws however especially for children. (Added safety)
The paint is super hard and they arrived perfect even although we grabbed excellent warehouse deala! Thank you Amazon and Regalo for an excellent amazing product, we love you guys! ?
So when our baby started crawling, I ordered a second one to go at the top of the stairs, and let me tell you, it just didn't work there for us. Having to step over the bottom rail on the gate adds a couple of inches to the stair height that are a bigger deal than they sound. Going through the gate at the top of the stairs also made the opening feel narrower and it was harder to navigate while carrying something. After catching my toe on the bottom rail several times while carrying the baby through, including one spectacular collision that jerked the gate loose from the wall, it became obvious that having the gate there was more dangerous than not having it there, and if I didn't move it, baby and I were both going to learn more about gravity than we wanted to know.
So, we still have this at the bottom of the stairs, where it performs admirably. At the top, we had to come up with a different solution.
The gate itself is metal. It comes with the extension shown, which you'll need for a normal sized hallway or doorway.
Setup: The extension slips into the main gate structure and then there are four tension rods on each corner of the gate. You put them through the holes and tighten them and you're all set. The gate only opens one direction, so make sure you figure out the direction you want the door to open before completely tightening the tension rods.
I will update if there is any wall damage, as the gate does seem to have a fair bit of tension on the walls in order to stay strongly supported and for the latch to be able to close into place (it doesn't look like it will lock when you first take it out of the box, then you tighten the rods, and the gap between the gate and the lock goes away).
