Carlson Pet Products Extra Tall Walk-Thru Gate with Pet Door, Extra Tall

So far so good. Set up was easy. You have to trust that after proper install, the gate will latch. Mine did, but I was sure skeptical until the end. I bought this because my house cat and I could not co-exist in my WFH space. Closing the door was causing my small guest bedroom to heat up w/o airflow and summer months are too warm to open a window. This pet gate seems to be the solution. My cat has not tried to jump over it but I think it's high enough she won't try (she is 11 y/o, not a spring chicken anymore). She did try to put her face through the rails, but didn't get very far.

So I have a 50 lb Golden Retriever puppy who's 6 months old. I bought this gate to keep him in my room away from my roommates room and the kitchen so he doesn't chew stuff but can see out, and because if I shut my door the air conditioning doesn't get in my room. I also have a cat that my dog loves to play with, but my cat isn't always eager to play. So he often runs from my dog. I thought the cat door would be a good idea so he doesn't have to jump. Turns out, my 50 pound dog can get himself through the cat door very easily even if it's a tight squeeze. Luckily, he's still growing and shouldn't fit much longer. Unfortunately, this means the gate is ineffective if you allow your smaller animal So I have a 50 lb Golden Retriever puppy who's 6 months old.

I bought this gate recently because I'm "puppy proofing" my house. It's well made overall..there is a slight wobble to one of the side pieces but this is probably because my husband did not drill it into the wall (we are renting) The cat door is great, my cat knew right away to go through the smaller opening. I think this product is versatile and I will be saving this to use for future children!

I find this item very functional. Works without adding the extra support which require some drilling to mount the permanent hardware to support the door. Also, I placed the gate in a door way and was unable to shut the door because the knob hit the top of the gate. Other than that, it keeps my three dogs in their room and I just love the smaller gate for cat to enter and exit as he please. Great feature!

Was difficult to adjust at bottom of our stairs because of all of the unleveling between the left and right hand railings and the baseboards too. I managed to adjust the gate to where it was at a tilted angle and higher off the floor but that created a tripping hazard at the bottom step. After the puppy learned how to go down the stairs, we eventually moved it to another area separating the family and kitchen/dining rooms where set-up was obviously 10x times easier and it has worked even better there for our purposes. Our pup tries to open the latch at the small door but has been unsuccessful and is unable to jump over the gate.

No damaged, broken or missing pieces, very easy to open latches, and the door can swing (or stop by turning a knob at the bottom) through either direction. Only thing that sucks is trying to carry groceries or big bulky/heavy items up-and-through that smaller space but you choose your battles. After having this product for almost 2 months in a high-traffic area, and for the price, I can highly recommend. … more

This gate is the best option out there for containing my cat. It's so great I just bought a second one. My cat is a big guy and does not jump on counters etc, so it works well. It even has a small door If I want to keep the gate shut. I highly recommend it.

I was happy to find this pet gate and thrilled with how it worked out. We have a pocket door entrance into our kitchen and I wanted a gate with a door so we could go in and out of the kitchen more easily, rather than the existing tension gate without a door that we had been stepping over. (Accident waiting to happen.) My challenge was trying to find a gate that would fit the narrow 29-1/2” opening and was reasonably adjustable. I had no trouble assembling it. To aid in holding the parts tightly together before adjusting the pressure bolts, I recommend using a belt. On top of everything else, the price was amazing.

Very nice gate! Smoothly unlocks and swings both directions. Nice small door to let my cats enter the utility room with litter box but keeps my dogs out. Worth the price!

I’ve been using this gate since 2017 and it worked ok at first, however the first problem was my 45 pound English Shepherd can fit through the small cat gate at the bottom. About 6 months ago one of the buttons on the walk through gate stopped working. I could still get it open but I had to push the working button, pull the whole gate up and push. A couple months ago I moved it to another doorway and my dog figured out that if he body slams himself hard enough against the gate it will open (probably due to the faulty latch). Yesterday he did this and the gate part completely broke off...as in it would need to be welded back together, but given the aforementioned problems it will be going in the I’ve been using this gate since 2017 and it worked ok at first, however the first problem was my 45 pound English Shepherd can fit through the small cat gate at the bottom.

I just purchased a second Carlson pet gate because the first Carlson gate I purchased is so phenomenal! (Nothing wrong with the first gate... rescued another cat and set him up in his own room.) Thank goodness I bought it when I did because they go out of stock quickly when there's a special. They were out of stock when I bought a second gate of another brand. The description was basically the same, so I expected something similar. It is NOT! I will stick with the Carlson brand from now until they stop making it! The Carlson latch is easy and works every time. I wish I could say that for the other brand.
