Evenflo Expansion Walk Thru Room Divider Gate

I LOVE this gate and have actually bought 2 for different uses as I needed this both for keeping pets in a secure area when visitors were going in and out, and for reminding an elderly relative to keep a safe distance from the stairs (he's a fall risk). Before finding this gate, I had bought various others that were much more expensive and there was always something that didn't quite fit my needs. I needed gates that could fit in wide spaces, were easy to open and close, looked nice, were super easy to install, didn't have a bar on the floor which could trip people, and were able to be customized for my needs (I have a cat and a dog, so I wanted to customize one gate to keep both pets secure when needed). These gates were/are perfect! Use 1: I used the first gate at the top of the stairs in my house to help remind an elderly relative not to get too close to the edge of the stairs. This gate is not super sturdy, so it probably wouldn't hold the weight of a person leaning against it, but this is not something I needed. I just need it to serve as a reminder, so for me it works well. For use with kids, I think it would be sturdy enough to keep a toddler out of an area, but not a child any older than 2-3 years old if they were determined to get through. This gate really is best for situations where you need a barrier, but are not dealing with a pet or a child who would be super rough about trying to get out. Use 2: I used the second gate to to make a barrier in a wide passageway (50 inches) to keep my dog and my cat in the living-room when needed. My dog is 45lbs and polite/good mannered, so he doesn't even try to get through the gate. My cat however, can easily jump and this gate (or any other gate) wouldn't be able to keep her in without a few adjustments. To keep my cat in, I got a thick curtain and hung it across the top of the passageway right above the gate. I then used velcro to attach the curtain to the top of the gate (the hand rail and some of the wood lattice) so that there were no gaps or areas that my cat could jump through. I basically used the gate and the curtain to make a nice looking and easy to slide open wall/ceiling high barrier that my cat can't get through either (but both my pets can still see through the gate). This has really worked out great as it's easy to use, can be removed easily, and does the job of securing my pets whenever the need arises. Overall, this gate is awesome and I would recommend it to anyone with similar needs to my own. :)

This gate is amazing in terms of the fact that it could either be used by contracting the gate (which means a little space can be accommodated for entry and exit) or it can swing open, giving a wider option for entry and exit. I bought this for the front door to ensure I can manage the cats and it works beautifully

I've installed this gate as a room divider to keep my rabbit from certain areas and it works very well. The gate is sturdy enough not to be toppled by the rabbit and stylish enough to be in my home at all times. I liked it enough that I bought another one. However, be careful in installing the anchors, as drywall isn't really strong enough to withstand the tension from opening and closing. Drilling in wood made a world of difference.

es muy funcional, no requiere espacio extra, material durable la uso mucho y esta muy bien conservada

Bought this to replace a plastic gate that was difficult to fit tothe door jambs, and eventually warped . This gate, on the other hand, used to keep my dogs out of the living room when we are not at home. is perfect. Covers a wide horizontal distance. Installation is simple ....intall either the short eyescrews or the long eyescrews (supplied), and latch the gate onto them. Easy peasy. Gate is very robust and well made. Recommended..
