MyPet Petgate Essential Pressure Gate, Brown, 26-in

I agree the handle may be difficult for some people. The handle is pulled up and has notches. The gate widens and then you notch it into position at desired width. The max width was used to fit it in my doorway 29 1/4". The locking mechanism could be better because it feels it would loosen over time. I agree the item could be better engineered. `I purchased this to keep a geriatric cat out of a room that has flooring that cannot get wet. It was easy to pressure install for me in the doorway. I may glue some felt onto the pressure points to protect the paint. All said, it serves the purpose.I think the younger cats can jump it, but the geriatric cat won't. I do have to climb over it.

I got it because it was inexpensive, but if I had unlimited funds I would get one that has an actual gate to walk through. This is plastic so it seems a plastic one with a gate should also be inexpensive, but require mounting. As it is, this will work for us for now. … more

These are perfect for our needs and much easier to use than our previous gates. Our cats like to climb our phantom screen doors so we stack three gates on top of each other in front of the screen door. Cats are safely inside and we can get fresh air! :)

My 8 week old kitten climbed over it! I’ve been trying to find a gate to kind of keep him out of the kitchen for right now. Looks like I have to find something else.

I wanted a portable gate and this one is perfect. It's nice and sturdy. Thank you.

Easy to use, easy to slide apart (just make sure to turn the lever first). Definitely recommend for dogs who aren't pushy or agressive towards gates. My dog doesn't get near gated off doors so we just put this between the door and call it a day. It is a bit on the short side if you have a jumper

Keeps my cat from climbing off the porch. Just tilted them forward a little so she cannot climb or jump them

Handle is hard to move. This gate is cheap. Wish I never bought it. Not easy to operate

The compression gate works well, just as advertized and a must when housebreaking a new pup.

My first review but I had to let people know that this gate is wonderful, I have a cat and I close off my bedroom to her when I'm at work.when I get home it's so hot in the bed room.summer coming I knew I just couldn't close the door I knew I didnt want to leave it open. And i saw the gate on chewy and decided to try it best money spend.at first i had a little trouble locking it on 1,there are three spots to lock it on and it opens wide if you need it now I have no problem locking on 2 if needed

Great quality,very sturdy material. I am sad to say my dog kept knocking this gate down. Pressure gates are not enough for my crazy pooch. I will invest in another gate that BOLTS to the wall. This gate is great and should work for most pets, just not mine.
