Summary: Best walk through gate but be careful
Comment: This gate works GREAT! It was a little tricky to install, adjusting the pressure mounts took a while to adjust as our doorway was on the outside of the 33.5 in. Once mounted, it has been extremely sturdy and is easy to open one handed if you do it right. The opening is a bit narrow (17 in.) but it's ease of use and durability make up for it. I would not use this gate to move around to different spots around the house but works great in a permanent location (without permanent holes in the wall!).
It puts up with constant shaking and rattling from my 9 month old and has even deterred my 2 1/2 year old nephew who has figured out a way around or through every other gate (because he can't figure out that you have to push buttons on both sides and then slide the latch out at the same time).
The BE CAREFUL part was that on one occasion, my son was holding on and slipped. When he fell, his arm got wedged and stuck between the bottom, outside bars where it tappers together. He didn't get hurt but wasn't coordinated enough to free himself.

Summary: Be careful!
Comment: When I first installed the gate, the pressure from the gate was too intense and punched a hole in my wall! Make sure that you install on a solid stud, or wall surface. The gate works decently for me now, but I had to purchase 4 square pieces of metal and put them between my wall and each of the pressure points on the gate. This seemed to disburse some of the pressure and prevent holes.

Summary: Oh Baby! What a Gate!
Comment: Love this gate, do wish it had addition sides for purchase, so I could use it in other areas.
Love the fact that it's a pressure gate, so no holes in the wall.
Though you must have either walls, or square banister rails that aline evenly for it to work properly.
Locking feature is difficult for children to open, but not for adults. As far as baby/pet gates do it is also one of the more attractive. Sturdy metal throughout.

Summary: gets the job done
Comment: Just got 2 of these and I am very happy.
I went to the local home depot and got a few 2x4 wooden planks and installed them on the wall where the gate is. Di that to avoid the pressure mounts going into the hard walls.
The gate is easy to open and close (but not for my 3 year old), it is stable and solid. I was a little worried about tripping over the lower bar but that's not an issue as it is only 1/2 an inch (or less) high.

Summary: Good Product overall
Comment: I bought this gate for my dogs, in order to keep them separated while I am out. I read all the reviews first, and I was a bit concerned it would be hard to open and it may not be worth buying. The door may be a little uneasy to open, but this is the point, so whatever or whoever you do not want to open does not do it easily. You have to press the button and slide it a bit to open, and I never found much problem doing so (if you do, maybe while assembling, you did put too much pressure and make the door way too close to the gate)
My door is a little small, though, and the gate makes it even narrower. So, accidents bumping into the metal edges were frequent in the beggining (I guess this is more my fault than the product`s).
It is better (in my opinion) than the pedal (foot) one (i used it for a while), because it is set agains the wall, and the pressure keeps the door closed and adjusted. The pedal one always came out, because it doesnt have such system.
Dont know if it would be that great for baby's parents, but I love it for my pooches.
