North States Plastic Walk-Thru Pet Gate for Dogs & Cats

I have a rabbit and was hoping this would help block off a part of my bedroom he could call his own, but was immediately made aware this would not be an easy task when the instructions gave me incorrect measurements. No matter how many times I reinstalled it it never lined up to the point where I was no longer able to install anything to the wall. I'm a contractor at a home repairs company so believe me, I know how to use all these tools. But, they were far from correct in their measurements and even when I got the gate to latch closed, it would not open without having to essentially be taken out. Now, would this be great as a low wall? Absolutely... For a dog.

Now, would this be great as a low wall? Absolutely... For a dog. But for my rabbit he had no issue chewing through the holes and making a giant gap in it in a single night and proceeding to escape and terrorize my cats. I fixed this by putting cardboard over it and behind it and making it hard for him to grip with his teeth, but at this point I'm wondering, what's the point of a gate that can't open nor be made of material a dog or rabbit can't easily chew through in a single night? For the sale of your wall and potentially your pet, do not consider this unless you just want a non opening wall you'll have to doctor up within a week of installation. … more

Was fairly easy, after reading the reviews I was hesitant, I didn't measure and all that, I put the hinge side on first, held it against the side and drilled through the cutouts for the holes, took it off the screwed into place, same on the locking side. and It came out perfect! Only con in my opinion is the "holes" in the gate, could be a climbing thing if your dog is into that, reminds me of a chain link fence. But other than that, its a great gate!

This is a cheap gate. I understood that when I bought it. It was to be used on an outdoor deck so plastic was ideal because it wouldn’t rust or rot. The reviews were good. We installed it easily enough, but the latch is so impractical and really difficult to close properly. At best I could get the top to sit latched but not the bottom and it took a few minutes of wrangling. If you don’t mind a difficult open and close go for it but for us it’s going in the trash. Don’t waste your money on this and spend a little more on something usable.

I needed a doorway gate to keep kittens in so the small plastic grid holes is perfect. The gate is next to impossible to close. You have to line up a top peg and a bottom peg while holding a latch open at the same time. When you open the gate, you have to jiggle it to remove the pegs from the holes. I have also pinched my fingers in the sliding top rail multiple times.

The gate is great once it is installed and can be expanded to fit most doors, halls and stairs. But the installation is confusing. Because unlike other gates where you just screw it wherever or however tall you want them, this gate you to measure from the floor to put on the holders and each side has different measurements. They are not the same on both sides and if your floors are uneven or not level do to the flooring or house settling its even harder cause the measurements for 1 side are not going to be correct obviously.

Was hoping for a convenient one hand operation gate. No so. Have to use both hands and really lift and pull quite a bit to get it closed. Do not recommend. Have had a tension one in the past that worked better. Perfect example of you get what you paid for.

Gate arrived appropriately, installation easy. Instructions could use some work but it was pretty self explanatory. "Lock/release" handle does the job no complaints via durability and security overall product A+.

Not ver strong too flexible,cat pulls on the bottom enough to get through

This gate is great. Works on stairs and is wonderful!!

The installation process was a nightmare. Now it’s pulling out from the wood from the DIFFICULT opening/closing/locking mechanism! This is the worst gate I’ve ever owned. And I’m a mom of 6...so I’ve had my fair share!!!
