I purchased the Regal Easy Step Wide Walk-Through Baby Gate to keep my puppy safe and contained, and it’s been a game-changer! This gate is not only functional but also looks great in my home.First off, the installation was super easy. It took me less than 10 minutes to set up, and it comes with everything you need, including pressure mounts and wall cups for added stability. The gate fits perfectly in a wider doorway, and the adjustable width made it a breeze to customize to my space.The walk-through design is a lifesaver! I love that I can open and close it with one hand, which is super helpful when I’m juggling groceries, my pup, or both. The latch mechanism is secure but simple to use, so I don’t have to worry about my puppy pushing it open.It’s also very sturdy—my energetic pup jumps up against it sometimes, but it stays firmly in place. The height is perfect to keep her from climbing over, and the spacing between the bars is just right to ensure she can’t squeeze through.Overall, this gate has exceeded my expectations. It keeps my puppy safe, looks sleek, and makes life so much easier. I highly recommend it for any pet owner looking for a reliable and stylish solution!

UPDATE: PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PRODUCT HAS CHANGED MODELS SINCE I WROTE THE FOLLOWING REVIEW. PLEASE SEE UPDATE 2013 COMMENTS ON THE NEW MODEL AT THE END….We needed a baby gate that was wide enough to put at the bottom of our stairs (about 41 inches), but other extra wide gates were expensive once you had to get the extensions to make them wide enough or you had to hardware mount them to the wall and who wants to screw things into their wall? Or, in our case, the banisters on one side of the stairs. (the gate DOES come with hardware mounts though if you prefer)This gate is great and we feel it’s a good value. It operates easily,couldn’t have been easier to assemble and attaches securely. Our 5 month old daughter pulls herself up on it and it doesn’t budge and just the other day we had a very large 18mo old boy at our house and he was pulling on it and it still didn’t move.I think there had been a previous version of this gate where a child had gotten their finger injured in it, but after inspecting the latching system thoroughly and even letting it slam shut on my own finger (it couldn’t) I really can’t see how anyone child or adult could be injured. So I’d say this version seems to have corrected whatever problem the older model had.A tip for attaching it to a banister on one side, just velcro strap a board to the flat part of the banister so the pressure mounts have something to press against.A note…. the gate will look like it’s broken and won’t close properly if you hold it up straight out of the box. It’s the pressure put on the gate when it’s mounted that ensures it closes properly.And, a note for the surprising number of people who have gotten worked up thinking this is a “fake” manufacturer generated review….. it’s not. While it’s been very entertaining over the years to see people who have the time to get worked up over my review of a baby gate, I have no affiliation with the Regalo company other than as a satisfied customer. :)UPDATE 2013: We’re kind of annoyed that Amazon has kept all of the old reviews after Regalo changed product models and now probably most of the reviews you seee here which now no longer apply to this new model. It appears that the “Regalo Easy Open 52 Inch Super Wide Walk Thru Gate” now fits the description of the gate we have that I wrote the original review for and that’s the one we’re getting after we send this “new model” back. We wanted to get a second one of these gates because they’re so great and we got what we thought was the same gate we bought in 2010 when I first wrote the review, but opened the box and nope! Not exactly the same, a newer model (the one pictured) which does NOT have the same operating mechanism and does NOT come with the same number of extensions and thus does not expand as far! The old mechanism was very easy to use one-handed. It was simply a spring loaded thumb lever. Check out the closeup of the latch for the “Regalo Easy Open 52 Inch Super Wide Walk Thru Gate” which appears to still have the old latch mechanism and compare it to the closeup of the “EasyStep Walk Thru” mechanism. This new model, after you slide back the thumb lever, you have to use your other hand to lift up another latch to be able to open the gate. Any parent knows you’re going to be carrying kid+stuff a lot of the time and a gate you have to use two hands to open is a deal breaker for us! I should note that my husband has large hands and is technically able to open it one handed by pushing the lever with his thumb (instead of pulling it back as intended) and then using his other fingers on the same hand to kind of nudge the other latch up out of the way but he thinks it’s ridiculous and I definitely can’t physically do it.

Awesome gate. We love this brand and have 2 in our house. The extenders are easy to use and gate is easy to install in multiple places. We have a 45 lb puppy who can’t break it and 2 kids who don’t always handle correctly and have no problems. Even my almost 3 year old can use it easily. The lock is perfect when needed but most of the time we just use the handle without fully locking it. It’s swings pretty wide when given the space to open and plenty of room for adults and kids. Also easy to move around the house if needed

My review is a little long, so grab a drink and sit back. I know that this gate is mainly for children BUT it is also listed under pet products when you go to the Amazon pet category. My main reason for purchasing this gate is because my wife is tired of setting up our existing gate system for our two small dogs (10 lbs each) every time we leave the house. The gates we own are an older model of the Evenflo Memory Fit II Gate, which work VERY well (the pressure is strong enough to where they don’t/can’t push the gate down). However, setting them up is a real pain and because my wife’s mother purchased North States Supergate Easy Close Metal Gate, Bronze for their home, my wife suggested we get one as well because she really liked how you can walk through those without complete disassembly.After using that gate at my mother-in-law’s house, I decided I didn’t like the North States Supergate Easy Close Metal Gate, Bronze. The locking mechanism required you had to manually twist it back to lock it. Whether it was set up wrong or if it was an actual defect I’m not sure. But because of that AND the price of $50, I knew it wasn’t an option for us.So after looking around for baby gates, I found this one. My main reason for selecting this is because (as of June 2013) it’s ranked the #1 best seller for indoor baby gates, as listed here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/bestsellers/pet-supplies/166868011/ . Plus the price point of $22.97 at the time of purchase means that it was really affordable.Before I purchased this gate, I compared dozens of different types and trust me I really read the Amazon reviews. For this particular gate, I took notice of the many 1 to 3 star reviews (many which complained of the fitment to doors). Most of the warnings come from doors that are greater than 33 inches and when I measured my door, mine was exactly 32 inches… so I thought I would be OK. However upon installation, I’m kind of indifferent about it but I’m keeping it because it works. The following are my thoughts about this product.## DOOR MECHANISM ##Although the door only opens in one direction, I really like how easy it is to open. You really can open this gate with one hand. Your thumb pushes the locking slider out and the rest of your fingers grip and pull up on the handle to open. To lock it (after the gate is closed), you push down on the handle and with enough pressure, it automatically slides the locking slider over the handle. That “click” sound assures you that the door is locked and that there is no way to open without going through the opening routine.## GATE FITMENT ##The fitment is done by extra long bolts that slide in horizontally into the frames of the gate. As you turn the dials on them, they basically “unscrew” from the frame and go outward. As it goes outward, it will eventually touch the wall/door frame you are trying to secure. By continually turning, you will cause enough pressure where the gate will mount itself and stand upright. However not every door frame/hall are the same width and the bolts are only so long. Meaning they can only extend out so far until they either become too flimsy to hold the gate up OR are not wide enough. That’s where the extensions come into play. You get a 6 inch extension with the gate but as with other reviewers mention, it’s too wide for most applications. Since my door frame is 32 inches wide (and the gate is around 28 inches), I couldn’t use the extension. I’m barely at the threshold of where this gate is too flimsy to be mounted at the door (I had to use the gate anchors) to secure it.## GATE PRESSURE ##The way this gate is secured to the wall or door frame is by pressure. As mentioned in the previous paragraph, you turn the dials on them to tighten the gate to secure it. However, I have a few issues with this.The bottom part of the gate can be tightened as much as you want. Obviously the tighter you turn the knobs, the more pressure there is between the gate and with that, there is more resistance from movement. I’m not sure how it is with other products of the same type, but for this product, there is NO WAY you can tighten the TOP of the gate tight enough AND MAKE IT SECURE WITHOUT the use of the anchors. Let me explain why. If you look at pictures, the bottom frame of the gate is one piece and extends the entire length of the gate. When the gate is open, you step over that part. Structurally that makes this gate sturdy. However on the TOP PART, there is no such one-piece frame(that’s how you walk through the gate). Because of this, as you tighten, you run into the issue that if you tighten too much, it puts pressure on the actual gate door and it won’t open.If I’ve confused you, think about it this way… say you stuck a metal rod between a clamp where the ends of the rod are touching each side of the clamp… effectively turning the clamp’s “C” shape into a “D” shape (the rod in this diagram is the straight line of the letter D). That straight line is the door while the ends of the clamp are the gate itself. As the clamp stays loose, removal of that rod (aka, the act of openning the door) is easy to move from the clamp. As you tighten the clamp (to secure the gate between the hall/door frame), the harder it is to remove the metal bar. It gets to the point where if you want it really secure between the door, you won’t be able to open the gate because there’s so much pressure between the door, the gate, and the wall.So then you have to ask yourself, how tight is good enough? Well, personally I was able to “push” the top part of the gate to where it slid out with relative ease. That in itself can be DISASTROUS, especially if you’re buying this for the top of stairs. Now, I know a full grown adult male is considerably stronger than a baby, but still that causes some concern. A baby that can walk or toddler with sufficient strength can walk over and likely push/bang on this gate until it moves. BECAUSE OF THIS, YOU NEED TO USE THE ANCHORS. The anchors (supplied) are actually screwed into the wall and then the ends of the bolts fit into the anchors. By doing this, you prevent any movement of the gate. Because my dogs are pretty strong (and known to push on my other gates), I HAD to use the anchors. If my dog can push a gate down over time, then I can imagine a baby can do the same.## USAGE W/ DOGS ##As I mentioned, my dogs are both 10 lbs each. One is really skinny/slender and long. I did read a review where someone complained and docked a star because their dog could squeeze through the gate, but that’s not the case with my dogs. The spacing of the gate’s bars are close enough where they can’t go through and I made sure the gate was mounted center between my door frame so that there was no way they could escape on the sides either.All in all, I’m satisfied with this gate enough to where I’m going to keep it. I’m sure that when I do have a child I’ll move this over to the stairs and have a better fitment than I do now with my dogs. Overall I give this product 4 stars. The removal of a star is from the “GATE PRESSURE” category, where the fact that you cannot SECURE the gate FIRMLY without the use of the anchors. Hopefully this reviews helps with your purchasing decision.

Missing parts and unstable
Unfortunately I received this item incomplete. The extension piece was missing, therefore instead of the described dimension of 92.7 x 2.5 x 91.4 centimeters, the gate I received was only 70cm wide. It was not in original packaging, no manual (fair enough it’s self explanatory) and the missing extension. I was also disappointed to see that it in fact requires to drill wholes for the “mounting cups”. Alternatively if you don’t want to damage your walls you could just use it without but then it’s very wonky and unstable – it would fall by simple opening the gate. Overall the material of the grill itself is good but the closing mechanism is cheap plastic, which looks as if it would break after a few times using. As a result I have returned this item and will continue searching for a better safety gate.

May also be adult proof
Amazing – exactly what we needed. Even some adults cannot open it hehe

Easy to mount and not flimsy
I like it as it’s pretty solid and it looks nice as it blended in with the place. I use it to prevent my dogs from going into the lift.

Great size and easy to install!
This was the perfect gate I needed for my kitchen to stop my toddler from walking into the kitchen when I’m cooking. It was hard for me to find the right size for my entrance into the kitchen because all the other gates I saw were all too short (probably for hallways or stairways). But this one was perfect! Super easy to install, which means, if there ever needs to be a change, it can easily be done! This gate is also so sturdy because my toddler usually hangs on it and shakes it when he’s wanting me to come to him while I’m busy cooking. The color black is also so much better than all the other white ones out there! Strongly recommend!!
