Lumizone Extra Tall Cat Gate 61.02" High Pressure Mounted Extra Wide 30.12"-34.05" (17Sizes) 1.37" Gap No Drilling Auto-Close Tall Pet Gate for Dogs (Black, 30.12"-34.05"/76.5-86cm)

This gate arrived with a broken piece on the bottom latch. I contacted customer service through the seller’s website and was answered within an hour. I sent a picture of the broken piece and they sent one right out. We had it in less than a week. The gate is sturdy, works well and keeps my cats contained to the upper level of the house when needed. The gate is easy to use and adjusted well to fit the doorway. This has turned out to be one of the best purchases I have made and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good pet gate.

So we now have two cats. Last year they were a menace with our tree to the point we resorted to disassembling it and moving it out of the living room and into a room with a door. This dampened our holiday cheer as it was a little used room and quite small with the tree added and it really damped our enthusiasm.Cue this year. We didn't have the funds to go through the expense of having a door to the room we typically put the tree in installed with the features we wanted. It's a strange wide doorway that enters at an angle so a typical door won't work and it would also need a doorjamb installed. After a lot of research, I found this baby gate. Hopeful but skeptical we plunked down the not inconsiderable price and waited for it to arrive.Well...this thing is a friggin beast! We got the 61 inch height in hopes it would be too tall for the cats to jump. It arrived and we installed it. This was a bear to install. First off, the "don't remove before installing" zip tie had snapped in the box and it was a b---h to wrestle closed enough to install our own temporary zip tie so we could do the install. One side of the support is installed at a slight V away from the door to cause the pressure so we had to squeeze these very heavy, very sturdy metal bars together and zip tie them so we could install. Installation actually wasn't too hard, but if you order the big gate like we did, it's a 2-person job for sure. As we plan to use this every year now, we will be installing a replacement zip tie BEFORE removing the door to prep for next year.I am happy to report that this year our tree has been cat free. It's been two weeks and they have not found a way over the gate and the bars are too close for them to squeeze through. We pulled out all the decorating stops for the room and they are MAD they can't get in to eat them.The tall door is somewhat difficult to get open. It's for sure a two-handed job and you have to lift. As it is heavy and an inch taller than me, I find it more difficult to open than the taller men of the house, but it's doable. It does have an auto-close feature up to a certain angle, past that point it will stay open, which is nice.Overall, I very much recommend it. Just know it's heavy and be prepared to have help installing it. Oh, and watch out for the bar at the bottom, we've all kicked it multiple times walking in the room and so far the gate is holding firm.Updating: We made it all the way through Christmas without incident. The cats would stare at us forlornly through the bars whenever we were in the room, but they were unable to get inside to destroy/eat our decorations and tree. We considered leaving it up all year but decided against it as it does make the room feel more closed off. Taking it down was easy and we have stored it in our basement propped against a wall. I do recommend getting those wall protector things to keep it from making indents in the wall at the pressure points, we used those and had zero marks. Still incredibly happy with this purchase.Updated 12/24: The holidays are back around and we just put this back up. It installed super easily, the 10 zip ties we used before taking it down last year held up and the tree is once more safe from curious kitties.

Very sturdy construction. Keeps our pets well contained. Can be a bit cumbersome to operate..the gate must be lifted each time to open and it is a bit heavy. Fit to the space is just right and assembly was very straight forward. Would buy again.

The media could not be loaded. Best gate I’ve ever owned. It’s sturdy, looks great, fits my opening perfectly and keeps my younger cat safe. It’s tall enough that the cats don’t even try to climb it and the bars are close enough that they can’t go through it. My 2 older cats suddenly started attacking my new younger cat even though I gradually introduced her to them. Maybe someday everyone will get along. Easy to install too.

This is a solid gate! I needed something to keep some of my cats separated (due to being FeLV+), but I wanted them to be able to see each other and not feel isolated. This works the same way as a normal baby gate, where it stays in place by pressure put on the wall. It's tall enough that my cats haven't even tried to jump over it. It is fairly heavy and very difficult to open with one hand, but this was expected and clearly stated that it was meant to be opened with both hands. It did take me a few tries to get used to opening it easily, but I got there and now I love it! It properly stays open when opened at 90 degrees and closes on its own when opened less than that (if it doesn't, it's likely that it was tightened too much against the wall and you simply need to loosen it a bit).As a note, I added some thin plastic (and attached with duct tape lol) so that my cats couldn't reach through and hurt each other, so the ugly plastic and black tape toward the bottom of the gate does not come with it lol.Just be sure you measure properly before buying and read the directions! Assembly is pretty straightforward, but make sure you follow directions for if you have an additional rod or not as they differ slightly. Overall, I'm very happy with this purchase. It took longer than expected to ship (a couple weeks), but it was worth the wait.EDIT: the sliding button on top was a bit difficult for me to push open, so I eventually duct taped it so that I only had to lift the gate up and push to open it. Much easier for me to manage in my case.
