Toddleroo by North States - Extra-Wide Wire Mesh Wooden Baby Gate: Pressure Mounted Baby Gate for Doorways - Adjustable 29.5 to 50 Inches Wide - 31 Inches Tall

These are the gates I prefer when I need to confine my dog to a certain room or space, and they were my favorite when my now-teenaged kids were toddlers, to restrict their access to stairs, sequester them in a play area, etc…we even use them to keep our dog away from the pool pump area so that some backyard spaces are free and clear from …the evidence (of dogs in the vicinity)…that no one wants to accidentally step in. They are surprisingly sturdy and user-friendly once you get the hang of them. It’s really cool how adjustable they are, providing a wide range of options from narrow to extra wide in the same unit. In fact, I don’t know of any other pet gate or baby gate (that is not freestanding, meaning it is adjusts to fixed sturdily to both sides of an opening) that open as wide as these. They’re pretty durable as long as they’re used correctly, but eventually, of course, they show signs of wear. Again used correctly they can last years. They’re not upscale or fancy, but they’re not hideous or cheap looking either. They are more aesthetically pleasing, for example, than a plastic white gate, and they also do not show dirt or dust now that I think about it. What stands at the most though is how simple and functional they are. They simply do the job and they do it well. They’re versatile, and come in various widths and height, including extra tall and extra wide, but again very adjustable as well, so they can be used in a doorway or in much wider space to divide rooms or limit access: And they’re so easy to take up and down. They’re very mobile. They can be erected and removed in seconds, and there’s never any damage to the walls or stairs or banisters or wherever you mount them. I’ve used them for years and have no need for any other type of gate. These are the best ones for the kind you can take up and down in a flash.

I love this gate! It is taller than the average gate, and that is an awesome feature. I don't have to worry about my baby trying to climb over it, but it keeps the dogs from jumping over it too, which I can't say for the shorter ones. I also appreciate that it can fit a normal doorway, but it can also go much more wide than the average gate as well. Very helpful when I want to put it somewhere besides the doorway. Super easy to install and easy to use as well. I like how the bar clips down onto the other bar without any extra hardware. That's a big part of the reason I chose this one. I love this gate and am so happy I purchased it.

Works exactly as described and feels very sturdy. However, the plastic bag holding the wall cap hardware came somehow built into the fencing - it looks like it got caught around one of the wire bars and the top wood piece of the gate was glued down around it. We were able to rip the plastic out, but was still a little bizarre.

There are many options to block doors; however, this is one inexpensive option. The gate is well made. It is not the easiest to secure to opening; but its not that difficult either.

These are the best gates made. Been using these types for over 50 years. Don't go for the new plastic ones, they bend out of shape are hard to lock. These are reliable for years. Perfect.

I ordered two of these for areas we do not pas though often. I have ordered the gate that has a built in swing gate for the high traffic area but it has not come in yet. So we have to pull the gate out every time we enter this part of the house which has given me a good idea of the gate overall. I have no problem placing or removing this gate. It is very easy to me. For my wife she has some issues putting the gate in and will end up calling me to do it. We have a German Shepard/Fox Hound puppy and she does not even push against it so it works fine as a deterrent. If you have a dog that is dead set on getting on the other side I think it will and you may want to use an all metal type gate that screws into the wall. We had friends that had a dog that would go through any gate that was not screwed in. Problem was when they got a gate he could not push out he ended up eating a hole in the dry wall to get out. It all depends on your dog. Our last dog we could use a sheet of cardboard and she never tried to go around it or push it, she was a Saint Bernard. So you really need to match this to your dog. Even small dogs can be gate destroyers if it is in them. You do need to be careful on how much tension you put on the center rod. Too much and it will contact the walls and may leave a dimple. Too little and it will come out easy. We have found the perfect setting and marked the rod so it is easy to set it back up again without the trial and error phase. The frame is made of what appears to be a semi hard wood. Not as hard as oak is but still harder than pine. The center does have to bow out in order to put tension on the rubber bumpers. So for all of this I rate this three stars. It could be better but for the price and the dog I have it works fine. For those that have dogs that are hard to contain they do make shock collars that have small moveable transmitters that can be placed in a room and if the dog goes in that room or area of the house they get a slight shock. It is based of the invisible fence systems.

Really like this stair gate. It’s good for infants and pets.

Bought two of these for the grandkids and absolutely love them. Super secure and easy to fit. I have no fear of someone falling down the stairs. Also, if you have a child (or pet) that can figure out how to get the gate to open, they will have a very hard time. And, by that time you will be on to them!
