Frisco Extra Wide Auto-Close Pet Gate, 30-in Height

I think this a great gate. I noticed that one of the one star reviews stated that "the gate is bent and the door does not close", accompanied by photos that seem to show that to be true. Obviously that customer didn't investigate any further and understand that it is a pressure mounted gate and when not tightened, the latch is separated and has a gap, this is normal. Also, some others complained that the gate didn't fit their opening size and claimed false advertising on the manufacturer's part. The description that I read online before purchasing very clearly stated that the gate fits openings from 29"-32", 36"-40", 41"- 46.6, and 48"-52". It may say elsewhere that the gate "works for openings I think this a great gate.

It may say elsewhere that the gate "works for openings between 29" to 52"," but I believe that some of these people just did not read the entire description. It was very clear to me that there were certain door sizes that it would not fit, and it was easy for me to figure that out. My opening is 30.5" and it is perfect. The gate looks nice and seems to be well built. I'm very satisfied. … more

I spent hours looking at gates and finally landed on this one. We’ve had it for awhile and it’s alright. I love the fact that you don’t have to drill into the walls because we are currently in an apartment about to move into a house. We have a Doberman Shepherd we keep in the kitchen with his puppy pads when we can’t have all eyes on him. The only issue I have been having with the gate (which is heavily used) I noticed the little latches at the bottom always fall and don’t stay up on their own, they fall at random so it’s a nuisance to get in and out. So far my only complaint.

We recently got a new pup that’s too small for stairs and upgraded from an old, typical wooden “catch” gate. This gate came in a graphite silver-grey color and doesn’t have a large gap like most with doors. Simple to put up (if you’ve used this style before) and has a few safety features (like choosing to swing one or both ways, self closing/stays open depending on how far you open it & childproof handle). Highly recommend!

I bought this gate for the top of my stairs (stairs lead to basement). I have an elderly dog (14 yrs old) with arthritis and normal old bones that makes taking the stairs extra hard on her. But of course being the loyal dog that she is, she wants to be wherever you are, all the time. That being said, we needed a way to keep her upstairs, when we are in the basement. This gate definitely did the trick! It's sturdy, and strong enough to keep her upstairs. Grateful to have found something to help her from wreaking havoc on her body. Thanks Chewy!

If you're like me and shopped a large number of gates with various functions, heights and materials and many with high price tags, I finally came to this one. I own too many shelties and one peculiarly athletic chihuahua who is also a houdini and doesn't listen to a word I say. Hence, I needed a tall gate. Here was my wishlist for a gate: A gate that opens both ways. A gate that automatically swings back to position (seriously, that chihuahua is sneaky). A gate that is too tall for my pesky (but well-loved) chihuahua to clear. A gate with narrow gaps so the chihuahua cannot squeeze through. A gate that doesn't require putting holes in my walls, but is stable.

Bonus points for the sturdiness of this gate and the very reasonable price. I ordered two of them for various sized entries. Things to know when assembling: 1. Do not be tempted to cut all the zip ties when opening the box. Leave the zip tie near the gate handle alone until you've got the gate up. This gate works with pressure and it will make it a lot easier for you to have the zip tie holding the gate shut and keeping it compressed so you'll know what the final sizing will be, making mounting easier. 2. The spindle rods help give play on how the gate fits into the space. I have a 48" wide entry this fit perfectly. The second gate I purchased fits a 30.5" entry. I may have won the Wylie Coyote game with the chihuahua. … more

The gate looks great except for the gaps on the sides from having to use the extenders to make it fit. I’m not sure my exact doorway size but I’d say it’s an average bedroom door size. I only used the main base, none of the extra extenders (besides the ones that hold it in the doorway). I didn’t screw the extender caps into the door frame either as I really didn’t need the extra support or want the holes in the door frame. Overall I’d recommend this pet gate, quality is good, very sturdy, the auto shut feature is great & I love that it has a lock to stay open so your pets can roam in and out without you having to take it down or open the gate.

I was looking for some type of gate to use on my walled patio for an opening between the house/long sun porch window and the 3 ft patio wall. I was skeptical when I ordered this but was really surprised that it worked with one of the extension that was included. The pressure screw pins fit snuggly against the window and lower sun room wall and the bottom of the brick patio wall. My problem was that the patio wall was lower but I improvised with a round solid block at the top of the patio wall and then used the top pressure screw against an extremely heavy flower pot for additional security. The door opens in and out and can stay open - I am so pleased with this purchase and safely secures I was looking for some type of gate to use on my walled patio for an opening between the house/long sun porch window and the 3 ft patio wall.

We were looking for a gate that would be tall enough for our new puppy (Great Pyrenees + German Shephard mix), but was still functional for our current dog (German Shephard mix) and us. This gate fit all the boxes. Height and adjustable width is perfect, easy to install, doesn't require any drilling in our apartment which we really love, sustains weight of me and puppy when I'm accidentally bumping into it, door can be adjusted to swing to your preference, and it can lock in place should you decide to leave it open. All in all, I'm soooooooo glad we purchased it. The only con I can really think of is.... in the middle of the night, I have stubbed my toe on the very bottom bar, but I think We were looking for a gate that would be tall enough for our new puppy (Great Pyrenees + German Shephard mix), but was still functional for our current dog (German Shephard mix) and us.

I ordered 3 of these for our main level, to keep our dogs off the carpet while we are gone. Each of the 3 openings is a different width, and with the 3 different extension options, this gate fit perfectly in all 3! We went with the white to match the trim and cabinets in our house, and they actually look quite nice. The stay open function is super easy to use, so while we are home we have the doors open. Would definitely recommend!

I installed this baby gate to keep my dog from scavenging in the kitchen before I got a trash can that has a locking lid. She is respectful of removal plastic gates but I just hate how I keep knowing them over. I love how my metal pet gate stays in place and was easy to install. Definitely follow the instructions though, to make your life easier. I also love that the door opens in either direction. It has also kept my dog confined in the living room when I need to prop the front door open as I move groceries inside the apartment. Overall a great product! Thank you Chewy!
