MYPET North States Paws Portable Pet Gate: 26-40" Wide. Pressure Mount. No Tools Needed. Made in USA. Dog Gate 23" Tall, Expandable, Durable Dog Gates for Doorways, Fieldstone Gray

This pet gate is perfect if you have a small dog or medium to large dog that won’t jump over a gate. It is pretty short, I’m 5’4 and it isn’t too difficult for me to step over, anyone taller really wouldn’t have an issue stepping over it. I got this to block my two large huskies from going into our bedroom but I needed one short enough for our cat to jump over it and it’s the perfect height for that! My dogs could EASILY jump it if they wanted to so if your dog will jump dog gates, get a taller one. I specifically picked this gate because it was cheap while still looking nice in our apartment.

Easy installation. Quality product. Keeps our dog from escaping the house.

Feels Sturdy, looks like picture, pretty simple to operate.

If you have baseboard molding you will most likely have install the gate above the top of the molding as the bumpers that hold it in place are not thick enough to make up for the thickness of the molding (mine is raised up in the picture - the gap at the bottom will be as big as your molding is tall). So cats or tiny dogs could fit under. You could instead go to the local hardware and find some thicker bumpers to install, trial and error until you find something that works (I'd try the bumpers that go on the bottom of chair legs).If you have read the dimensions, like you should have before buying, then you already know that big dogs could jump over it, so don't complain when that happens.The gate and locking mechanism are plastic if you just put the gate up and push as hard as you can on the locking lever it will break. Instead don't be a moron and take five minutes to see how the mechanism works and how much pressure is required to latch the locking lever. The lever must line up with a grove (you can see the groves on the right side of the mid rail in my picture) and then as you push down the gate expands a little before the lever locks. If you start out with the gate too wide, the lever won't make it all the way down without breaking. Move it back one notch narrower and push the lever down. once the lever get pushed down to the first locking position there are two more that you can push the lever further down to make the gate slightly wider for fine adjustment.Do a test run before you have a pet trying to break out of it, to find the correct adjustment and then mark it with a sharpie for quick easy installation from then on. If you are going to use it in two different locations like I do, then mark it with two different colored sharpies - it's not rocket science folks just a little common sense and pre-planning.Since my dog is big enough that he won't fit under the gate when it is raised above the molding I just rest the gate on the toe of my shoe and snap it in place.I only use it when I am home and don't know that I would trust it to hold up a full day with a smart dog all by himself, but if that is your plan then I would instead spend the additional money for something that could be permanently installed (think metal, bolted in place) the extra cost would be worth the peace of mind.

One thing I hadn't considered when buying 3 of these gates was our 6" tall x 1/2" deep baseboards. The bottom rubber bumper is about the 4 1/2- 5 1/2" mark. I thought I could simply raise the gate up a bit and let the bumper clear the top of the trim. NOPE! The trim is deeper than the clearance of the bumper from the gate itself. Thus, the frame will make contact with the trim but the bumpers won't even reach the wall. Raising the gate further up to clear the trim is nonsensical because it leaves such a gap under the gate that there is no point in having it there except for much larger dogs. I tried wedging in various materials in the gap between the wall and the bumpers but nothing really made good contact and had enough friction to keep the gate in place. In the end, my workaround was to not actually install the gates as intended. Rather, I just leaned the gates across the openings (which really only counters a push, not a pull). My dog doesn't challenge the gate by trying to pull it down, so it works for me. As for the locks...every time I tried to tighten the gates, the crank and locking mechanism felt significantly weaker than the gate and despite wanting to get a tight/secure fight, I always felt like something was going to snap at any moment if I wasn't extremely careful. My workaround negates this as the gates are now extended fully and there is no pressure on the locking mechanism.
