Frisco Extra Tall Auto-Close Pet Gate, 41-in Height

I bought this extra tall pet gate to put in the passage way between my kitchen and dining room, to contain my Alaskan Malamute pup in the kitchen for short periods as needed. Previously, he whined constantly if in his crate (disturbing my neighbors) and was able to scale the counters and climb over obstacles blocking the passage when left in the kitchen. A tall and see-through gate in the passage way seems to have made the difference. The passage opening is 29.5” wide and with the cabinet and counter molding is just a few inches taller than the gate. Narrower at the base than top, but that posed no issues when installing. This gate worked out exactly as I’d hoped!

No need for the extension piece or screws - I used the stickers and tension when tightening to hold gate in place. I’m choosing to keep the gate closed/locked most of the time, as there’s a pocket door at the main entrance of the kitchen from the entryway, so no need to have 2 doors. So far my pup has voluntarily stayed put and whined very little, despite his mischievous ways! LOL! … more

I got this gate in March 2021 for my small but determined and very reactive Yorkie. He cannot fit between the bars, but he can jump surprisingly high. After the first 2-3 months, the stay-open feature stopped working in one of the directions. Now, after 5 months of use in total, the stay-open feature is starting to fail in the other direction as well. It now takes a couple of minutes of positioning the gate at the perfect angle for it to stay open. Admittedly, the gate gets used very frequently since it's in the doorway of my bedroom, but this is still inconvenient and disappointing, especially considering how long it's been.

Admittedly, the gate gets used very frequently since it's in the doorway of my bedroom, but this is still inconvenient and disappointing, especially considering how long it's been. The actual gate is the only part that has an adjustable length -- the extension is one length and not adjustable, but it is optional to use. I do not recommend using the gate without installing the wall cups, as it can be a bit slippery in between a painted doorway. The wall cups are supposed to be drilled/screwed into the doorway or hallway to ensure that the gate stays put. The gate can be a bit squeaky. When it auto-closes, the gate slams shut and it can be kind of loud. Definitely read the instructions before installing and be sure to follow them exactly -- they really mean it when they say cut the zip ties at the very end! If you lose the manual, a copy can be found on this page under the tab "Instructions." … more

I wasn’t thinking about the bottom bar and being on top of a set of stairs. That is what I needed it for. It doesn’t say “not for top of stairs” in the description. It did say that in an insert that came with it. Unfortunately husband threw out the box so I had no way to pack it to return it. It does say: this gate is designed to keep your pet safely contained by simply installing it in a door frame or hallway. That is a door frame we have on top of the stairs so I didn’t think much of it. My fault just be aware. 3 stars because it should have a warning before it’s bought.

High-quality, sturdy pet door, easy to install, easy to open and close even with just one hand free (carrying, say, a lizard on the other arm, for example). At 41" high and with only an inch or so thickness, my middle-aged cats have not tried to jump over it yet. With my 32" wide door frame the gaps at the sides are not large enough for the cats to attempt to pass through.

Good quality, easy to install, but the instructions mention that you can use up to two extensions on both sides yet there is nowhere to buy extensions for these on Chewy or elsewhere. I even called the customer service line to see what gives. I’d love to give you more money for an extension, so please make it available! As is I may return it because it needs an extension to be steadier. It is a shame because I do like it.

The gate is lightweight and aesthetically pleasing. The latch is a little tricky even for us humans and it won’t latch shut unless you let it swing or you pull it. This is not a big deal though! It’s just what I needed to keep the dog out of my bedroom without having to close the bedroom door. I used the doble sided tape instead of screws to attach it to the wall.

I should have looked closer at the measurements this fits, 29” – 32” and 36” – 38”. The width of our standard hallway is 35 inches so the gate is too narrow alone--and too wide with the extension in place. Maybe a warning "Will not fit openings 32.5 to 35.5" would be helpful? Or how about a smaller extension? Now that I have the parts scattered all over in silly attempts to make it work, I probably won't even be able to return it.

I brought the gate for my grand-fur-babies (my grandson/wife's puppies) so they could be out playing and running about in their own room while my grandson & wife were working. I'm not a fan of dogs having to be in their cages all day while their parents work. The gate fits perfectly in the doorway to their large laundry room and I like it because of it's height. One of the fur-babies likes to jump and with this gate she can't jump over it. Very happy with my purchase and I know my grand-fur-babies are happy too! Great deal!

I really love this gate for several reasons. For one, it is tall enough that most of our dogs cannot jump it - and the one who can has to be really motivated to do so. I like the stability of it having screwed in wall mounts, so dogs that like to throw themselves at the gate can't destroy your thresholds or anything like that. It's designed so that the pressure is on the joint of the cup, NOT on your trim. I wish it was a little bit lighter weight, but the sturdiness is worth it. The gate having the ability to adjust swinging only one way or lock at the bottom is great, too. I wish that those parts were not plastic, though. I wish that the metal "spinners" that allow you to adjust the I really love this gate for several reasons.

They are surviving that, but I'm worried eventually it will break under his wraith … more

I recently had a repair man ask me to put my dog up (which I totally understood and he was very nice about it) and, because my place is fairly open and he has never been closed off inside, I put him on the deck. Afterward I ordered this pet gate. I like that it is lightweight and felt the price was reasonable. It was easy to assemble and install at my bedroom door. The gate provides a way for him to see outside the room and not be totally isolated. We have only practiced with it for short periods of time because, fortunately, I do not need repair people often! I am now prepared, though, should I need it in the future.
