Regalo Easy Step 38.5-Inch Extra Wide Walk Thru Baby Gate, Includes 6-Inch Extension Kit, 4 Pack Pressure Mount Kit, 4 Pack Wall Cups and Mounting Kit

Purchased back in September of 2015 to keep our newly adopted pup from our furniture (we weren’t sure at the time if she would tear up through our furniture if we left her alone). The gate did its job just fine. But then again, we have a 25-lb Chihuahua mix, so we didn’t need a massively sturdy gate to keep her at bay. Now, we did take care of my friend’s 40-lb Shepherd mix who had some major issues with thunder. He would get pretty panicky during a storm and constantly jumped and leaned on the gate. I’m happy to say that he never toppled the gate over. He did manage to jump over the gate some how. Don’t know exactly how, me must have used some secret Parkour skills or something to get over it. So, as far as sturdiness goes, it passes by my standards. As it relates to durability, I see no issues. Of course, we don’t have kids pull on the bars and bang on the gate, so I just may have not seen any of the issues just yet. If I do, I’ll likely update this review. As far as operation goes, I like the old version better. The old version was probably a tid bit easier to open with one hand. Now I read a few complaints that this gate requires two hands to open. That’s not true, just look at my video. It’s possible to open with one hand and really isn’t that hard. May take a bit to get used to, but not impossible like some reviews make it seem to be. The major downside I see in the operation of this gate is that it only opens in one direction. The old version of the gate opened both ways, which was really convenient. That said, make sure you have the gate opening in the direction you want. Don’t want to second guess yourself in the middle of installation because its a pain to loosen everything up and flip it around. Setting up the gate wasn’t hard, but it wasn’t super easy either. You have got to screw those side bars out pretty far to close the gap between the gate latch and the post. And the farther it goes, the harder it is to turn, so get ready to put some elbow grease into it. Once you have the gap small enough so that the gate can lock in place and stay secure, its pretty much guaranteed to be rock solid. One recommendation: buy and use the “Wall Savers for Pressure Gates” if you can (the pressure mounts puts some massive point pressure on your walls). If you don’t, you could damage your wall. In my case, my opening was too narrow to fit the wall savers, so I had the pressure mounts pushing directly against the wall. It didn’t damage my wall, but it did peel off the paint. In an effort to prevent this from happening again, I cut piece off of a Kleenex box and put it between the pressure mount and wall. In conclusion, as my headline says, this gate does its job, at least for me. As I mentioned earlier, the real major negative on it is that it only opens in one direction. Now if you have 70lb and over dogs to keep at bay, not sure if it’ll be able to handle. My take is that it should, it would just take some major tightening of the pressure mounts.Read more

I see a lot of people complain that it came bent or that the latch doesn’t fit to the door. Well if you would take the time to read, you would see that it is meant to be that way. So when you returned it and then had the same issue… Well because its made to be like that. You obviously didn’t read. It is bright orange and hangs right by what everyone is claiming to be defective!!! Just read people. Here I posted a photo of what you neglected to read!!! I bought three of these gates and they worked perfect for the space I needed them for. Though if the space was getting to big then it didn’t seem as strong. But if trying to gate a smaller space this is great!!! Like I said I bought three and they are wonderful! Just try to use for the smaller allowed setting and it will be great. If you go for the larger end of the settings it make be a but flimsy. But again!!!! The door is supposed to be slanted before installation!!! Read the instructions people!!! I mean for come on how did you miss the bright orange paper that hangs from the gate? It says it is not a defect right there! I will get again if I need for other spaces. The gate when open is a bit narrow but nothing that is a problem for me. But if I could recommend anything I would say make the gate open a bit wider. But someone else posted picture with person trying to walk through so have a look.Read more

This is the 3rd Regalo gate I’ve gotten. The first two are awesome. This one is junk. The latch is a thinner molded plastic. And the whole thing just feels flimsier than the other two I have. They changed the solid bar at the bottom and made it screw together. One of the threaded holes was defective making it impossible to get the screw all the way in. The latching mechamism is off. If you tighten the sides so that it is firm in the doorway the latch won’t open the door on the gate. If you leave them loose enough to be able to open the door, my dog could just push the whole thing down… There is no way I’d let a child any where near this. I don’t know why they changed the design, it sucks. Sending back.Read more

Fantastic purchase for a very reasonable price! Delivery was ultra quick and the gate is easy to put together and does the job. Bought this to stop puppy getting out of the front door when opened or getting to the post before me! I am so impressed, I’m going to purchase a couple more for bedroom doors so they don’t have to be closed all the time to stop her getting in there and jumping on the beds! Easy to use, just squeeze the buttons and pull back to open the gate. It opens either way so can be fixed to any space you need to block off. Came with an extension too which was a nice surprise. I didn’t need it, but you might if you have a wider door frame or hallway etc. This gate is totally mobile as there are no permanent wall fixtures to worry about. Ideal to contain toddlers OR small – medium sized dogs in a safe area. Highly recommend this item.Read more

the assembly is easy enough, no issues there. We are putting this gate on metal fences (sturdy fence) so we cant use the screw plugs, and we’re using just the pressure mounts. They are absolutely useless. They come with a slipper plastic soft coating that slides off, even without the coating which we removed the gate pretty much bends inwards/outwards when you try to tighten the pressure too much. Without pressure it simply falls, with pressure it bends. Our 12 month old baby was able to push the gate off in 3 seconds. the way the locking mechanism is built is pretty bad, its all plastic and doesnt work eveyr well if you tighten the gate too much. Its a complicated lock for a baby to open- ill give them that, but consdering how badly the gate holds up i find the locking mechanism unecessary since the gate can barley hold its own. VERY DANGEROUS AND WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS CHEAP THING TO ANYONE!Read more
