Beautiful & functional Pet Gate
This gate is VERY helpful to keep our kitties away from the front door AND it looks beautiful & folds up fairly easily so it doesn't take up too much space. Our 7 1/2 year old rescue cat & three 21-month old "kittens" are normally wildly athletic & adventurous little rascals who LOVE deliveries & (most) visitors, but NONE of them have tried to climb or escape in any way, which was a relief. P.S. It's super-cold outside right now so maybe that helped keep them away from the door?

Good quality and style
I’ve bought numerous gates in the past. These are by far the nicest- good quality and style. The little door is great; I don’t have to keep moving the gate to get around it. Our Christmas tree is safe from the puppy!!
-
Excellent gate
What a pleasure to have this come out of the box and ready to use. The gate is sturdy, stable and looks good too. Very happy with purchase.
Best Pressure Mounted Dog Gate
-
Worked great
Fit the door well and works exactly as described to keep the dog out but allow the cats to go over.
-
It not only functions well, looks great
This is just what we needed. We have a large breed puppy, around 9 months old and she occasionally finds something to chew up. I have a sewing room, new construction without doors yet and I couldn’t leave my projects out until I got this gate. Pretty easy to assemble and works well.

Seen it in action
No more cages , yet have security for the boys ,easy to install, high quality,easy to open, just remember got to step over ,lol ouch !
Best Wall Mounted Dog Gate
-
Ease ofuse
We installed the gate without drilling. Instead we used bungy cords and cable ties which work well. All the benefits without drilling holes.
-
Great flexibility for wide spaces
Glad to find a gate that is wide enough for our entry so the dogs aren't at the front door.
-
It was wide enough.
Not many gates cover the opening between our kitchen and living room. This is a nice color, not too heavy, and easy to set up.
Best Extra Tall Dog Gate
-
GREAT Gate!
I bought this gate to keep my cats out of a certain area at night time but I open it up during the day time if they wish to venture there. It's tall - they don't climb over it, the gate opens easily and it's pretty easy to put together with the provided video. (I'm not mechanically inclined.) I'm very happy I bought this gate.
-
Very well made, easy to use
The quality is outstanding. Opens & closes very smoothly. The walk-through gate and self-closing feature make it so easy & convenient. And the cats we purchased it for cannot get through the bars when closed nor jump over top (at least so far). We are very happy with it.
-
They are sturdy and easy to install.
I was very pleased with the doors. I put them in by myself and they are very sturdy. So far my dog has not tried to jump over them!
Best Extra Wide Dog Gate
-
Does the job!!
This gate works really well to keep our medium sized dog out of the room where we keep the cat’s litterbox. Its high enough that he can’t get over, but low enough for the cat to jump over. Installation was a little tricky to get a good fit, but once it’s up you’re set.
-
Study and not an eye sore
It’s perfect to keep our 3 dachshunds confined. We actually didn’t drill into the wall and is fine.
-
Another forced title. Why can’t we be happy with a star count?
This gate is sleek and fits well in the stair well. It is looks nicer than the one it was purchased to replaced.
Best Pet Gate with Door
-
Dog gate
Installed easy. Did not use cups . One reason being the gate aligns with door hinges..also no need as the attachment is held in by door trim. So far so good
-
Easier than expected and good quality!
Followed the instructions for installing and watched the video. Super easy and worked well until our super agile lab jumped over it. Our other 2 were perfectly contained. If you have a super athletic pup, you may need additional measures.
-
Sturdy and stylish
I was worried that this wasn’t gonna work for my dog. He kept jumping over everything, but this is the perfect height and it has a sense of style.
Best Pet Gate with Pet Door
-
Perfect!
This gate keeps our dog out of the rooms that have cat litter boxes in them, and our cats have easy access to them. Sturdy, easy to install, easy to adjust, easy to open and close.
-
Love the cat door
Have a new dog, and needed to make the bedroom and litter box area off limits without inconveniencing the 2 cats
-
Great gate!
This gate is very easy to install, open/close. I also love the expandable sections for wider doorways. High quality materials!
Best Dog Gate for Open Floor Plans
-
Versatile and well designed
I love the versatility of this gate. It will cover a wide opening, 2 openings or be used as a circular pen. Currently we have 3 panels separated to use as a "gate" in a doorway and it works great. We just swing the third panel open and closed as a gate. The true gate on the larger section works well and is a lot better and safer than stepping over a traditional gate.
-
One of the better gate/pens I looked at
Like that it’s heavy and steel bars versus the flimsy one I bought at a box store. Bought two, one I’m using as a pen, the other as a barrier to the stairs. Only draw back is my puppy is growing a lot faster than I anticipated so I’m not sure how much longer I can keep him contained.
-
Nice enclosure!
Seems well-made, and easy to set up. Our puppy made a jail break through the slats, though. We have an 11-week-old Havanese, who is about 2.5-3 lbs. I will zip tie some mesh to the outside until she gets a bit larger!
Best Dog Gate for Stairs
-
Easy secure
Easy to install and sturdier than expected for the price. Great value. If you have an old house and nothing is level I do suggest investing in a cheap level.
-
Headline is just right.
I bought two gates, one for the bottom of the stairs and the other for the top. The gates keep the puppies down stairs and the old cat safely upstairs. It's a little more peaceful now.

Big Dog Corral
This Gate was a great addition to the top of our stairs. We recently brought home a giant breed newfypoo puppy. After she overcame her fear of the stairs she loved to go up them and chase the cat or inspect the litter boxes or chew some socks. We place this on the top landing of our stairs. It was easy to install and it prevents Maggie from unaccompanied trips upstairs and gives the cat respite from her inquisions and attempts to play. when he's tired of them. The gate is so much easier to operate than a traditional non hinged baby gate and easy to lock and unlock. It also looks nicer.
Turn any room in the house into a safe space for your pal to lounge with one of the best dog gates.
