Regalo Easy Open Extra Wide Walk-Through Gate, 30-in

I bought this gate to keep my 8 week old Blue Heeler/Jack Russell mix puppy in the kitchen off of the hardwood floors while we are potty training and while we are out of the living area. Imagine my surprise when I walked into the living room this morning and there's Sam. The gate was closed and secure, he just slipped through the bars. That's disappointing because the gate is useless till he's older and we're hoping not to need it then.

Based on the size of my doorway, we could not use an extender, and my 9 week old puppy (9 lbs) can fit through. This is not effective for us at all. Installation wasn't ideal either, feels very poorly made.

This gate with its 2 extensions only really fit 1 of 4 doorways with the all 4 threaded spindle rods. We were able to fit the other 3 trying different combinations without some spindle rods. We kept the 2 gates and they aren’t as secure with some of the spindle rods removed. A third extension to maximize customizability would probably have been helpful. The latch seems very secure with a bottom brace and rod locking system on top. However, it is not easy to open and close quickly. You have to lift and open the latch to open. To close, you have to lift, align the bottom piece, and lock the rod in place. That is if it the top of the frame is aligned. I would stay away from this gate.

Very disappointed in this gate!!! It should have fit perfectly in our doorway, but unfortunately, when we set it up it was not stable AT ALL!! The top pieces that go against the wall were crooked no matter what we did and the gate wobbled easily. This will not work with our dogs. We tried it in multiple locations and it did not work anywhere. Not sure what to do now :(

Walk through gates are the best. My husband and I are over 70 and can no longer step OVER the old style gate. We love the two walk through gates that we bought. It was easy to put together and to open and close. We previously purchased the 42” gate for the hallway and decide to get a second for the kitchen. The kitchen walk through is narrow and so is the gate opening, which is only natural BUT the more narrow walk through isn’t as nice as the wider......BUT it does make sense that it has to be that way. We adopted a special needs dog that lived in a shelter for 2 years and likes to LIFT HIS LEG. We do have to keep an eye on him. We also have a cat that we are introducing. The 42” has a cat door Walk through gates are the best. My husband and I are over 70 and can no longer step OVER the old style gate. We love the two walk through gates that we bought.

I bought this gate to block off a room to create a play area for my new puppy. The gate itself is nice - it is very sturdy and the bars are spaced nicely. The only problem, and it's a big one, is that the gap between the end of the gate and the wall is large enough for my puppy to slip through. I wish the gate itself was a smidge wider. This will work well once he is bigger, but right now it's a nightmare trying to keep him contained with this gate.

Good for its price, but it shouldn't be used with large dogs as they would knock it over. I have a miniature Schnauzer and it works great. Although, the fat cat knocks it down once in awhile when jumping over it.

Our older Regalo gate is easier to open and close. The older gate has a place to put your thumb when opening/closing. The mechanism on this one is harder to operate. The gate works well otherwise and stays in place.

This gate is just what I wanted a gate to do! It was a bit confusing to get started assembling but once you got it started it was a breeze! It is made well and works like it was meant to! I love it!

This nice gate is metal, so better quality than many, but because my doorway is 39.5 inches wide, it could not adjust in small enough increments to make it fit. When I contacted Chewy.com, they were very helpful and refunded me the purchase price right away. Superior customer service!
