MYPET North States FurSure EasyPass Pet Door with Patented Adjustable Door: 29.75-40.5" Wide Dog Gate. Pressure Mount, No Tools Needed. Dog Gates for The House, 30" Tall, White

This is the kind of product that may necessitate an updated review, due to its heavy-use nature, and whether it continues to earn a 5 star rating will depend on how it holds up. Initially, however, it has been a great solution for our needs.We have dogs and cats in our home. Unfortunately, the dogs like to harass our cats, so we need to keep them separate. For years we have used a wooden scissor-type gate to block the hallway that leads upstairs. It was about 3 feet tall. Not long ago, we babysat our friend's dog who proceeded to show our dogs just how easy it was to jump the gate. Just like that, one little example and my dogs became gate jumpers as well. Fabulous.So we bought this, much taller gate, to put an end to the jumping.The gate seems to be well made, and installed securely between the walls. As the dad, I am usually the unlucky sap that gets to install these things. The day that this was delivered, however, I was in a particularly grumpy mood. As I was sulking on the couch I heard the clanging of parts being assembled. My wife and daughter decided not to poke the bear and assemble it themselves. They are very smart women, yes, but the fact that they did not have to ask me once for assistance tells me that this was not overly complicated to assemble. Nor did I hear any raised voices or loud sighs. Assembly must have been fairly straight forward, so 5 stars for that.The assembled product feels quite solid, with little wiggle. The gate is easy to open, although what will really determine the long term rating of this gate will be how the opening mechanisms on top and bottom hold up to repeated use. Particularly the bottom latch. The bottom latch operates automatically, and is spring loaded. You can swing the gate closed and open and a spring loaded plastic piece will click into place. HOWEVER, the PREFERRED method of opening and closing is to LIFT UP on the gate before opening or closing it. This way, the piece of plastic rises out of the groove and does not necessitate the spring loading to "spring". It is a relatively small piece of plastic, and a moving part, so it is likely the first thing that will fail. If it does fail, the bottom of the gate will not secure but rather remain "floppy".My house now only has adults, so I think the spring latch discussed above has a chance to live a fairly long life, if everyone remembers and cares enough to lift and open/close instead of just yanking it open and slamming it closed. HOWEVER, if my house had small and/or rambunctious kids, I would not expect that latch (nor, likely, the top one) to last longer than a year. I would NEVER buy this unit if I had small kids, especially boys. (Call me sexist, but my experiences are my experiences). Perhaps I am being unfair with this assessment, I'm not deducting any stars due to my speculation, just giving my two cents for anyone with wild kids.For my application, this gate is very nice and deserves 5 stars - initially. I will update this review if anything goes wrong or breaks. By their nature, these kind of things seems to have high failure rates. Until then no news is good news.

So far works great. I wanted a gate with cat door that would keep my French bulldog out. My cat is about to have kittens and this works great. Easy to install. Sturdy and stability is good. Easy to open.

We use this gate between our kitchen and living room. Cat has food/water in kitchen and litter box in sunroom off the kitchen, toddler plays in living room. We open the pet door but keep the gate closed when toddler is playing so cat can go in and out as she likes but toddler can't follow her into the kitchen. Also keeps toddler out of kitchen when we are cooking. We shut the pet door at night and keep cat in the kitchen so she doesn't sit outside our door and meow at 5:45am to be fed. The gate is super easy to operate* and super sturdy even with a toddler occasionally hanging off it during a tantrum when she wants to follow the cat into the kitchen but cat needs personal space. Cat is about 14lbs, average sized (just slightly overweight) tabby, and easily slides through the cat window on the fully open or 2nd notch settings. When toddler wants to hand us a dirty tissue or empty drink cup while we are in the kitchen, we have her slide it through the cat door like a fun delivery window. We're gonna make a sign and call it the Pizza Window like at Disney Boardwalk Inn. Haha. We are 5'4-5'10" adults and it's a great height for us!* We removed the bottom locking piece. It was annoying to us to have to lift the gate up or whatever to fully unlock it each time since we adults are passing through this gate often. Maybe if toddler figures out the gate, I will have to put it back on. But I hope if she's smart enough to open/close the gate via the push/squeeze handle, she'll be at a stage where she understands the cat needs to personal space sometimes and so don't chase her if she goes in the kitchen and then we shouldn't even need the gate at all... But maybe that's just me and my wishful thinking.

Nice solid quality-built gate. I love the way the small pet door slides up. The only thing I've notice is that it is starting to close even though it is in stay open position. I go through this gate multiple times a day.

Love this gate

My golden retriever kept jumping over the 30" gates that I had. This is perfect for him. My cat can go through the openings as well.

The gate looked perfect for my dining room to keep the puppy out and allow cats and people access. Unfortunately the “like new” resale was defective as in, unusable. The gate was welded together poorly - neither square nor plumb and is off by inches. It will not hang straight nor latch. Amazon is asking me to return it so beware if you’re buying used.

Great quality !! Heavy duty and door stays open if you want it to, and swings shut if you want to close it. No more scratched doors from the cat door swinging out. I can’t say enough good things about it !!
