Easy Step Extra Tall Metal Gate

Comments about Regalo Easy Step Extra Tall Metal Gate:

The gate is placed in front of the kitchen to prevent my two toddlers from getting access, but my 3 yr old has no problem figuring out how to unlock the gate! It works great for my 2 yr old and we've been using it for about one year now. It IS on the other hand a very sturdy gate and the white color looks great against the kitchen wall. The height is perfect! My 3-yr-old daughter is very tall, but she was unable to climb and hang from the gate, unlike other lower height gates.

This is a great gate. My only comment to the contrary is that the "door" is a little narrow. My husband and I are of average build and we have to go through side-ways while carrying our son.

We use this gate to keep our toddler out of her infant sisters room while she sleeps. It works like a charm. She can see in but not enter anytime she desires.

We installed 2 of our 3 gates last night for our 18 month old son who climbs EVERYTHING! It works great in the doorway of our playroom. We also placed it our downstairs hallway that is wide. We used one extension for a correct fit. It is not as sturdy with the extension. Adding the extensions makes it "wobbly" where the extension attaches to the primary gate. I think it will hold up. The best part of the gate is that my climbing son cannot go over the top as he has all other gates.

The gate is fine, but we had to screw it into the wall because it would not stay put. The opening part of the gate is ridiculously small. I am a heavy set woman and I have got to turn to the side and squeeze myself through the gate. And I am pregnant now, so I don't imagine even being able to get through the gate after my belly begins to expand. This was the major downpoint for me. I wish that the opening was 4-6 inches wider so that bigger people can fit through without hurting themselves. Also, I think the cost is a bit much for the gate.

I needed something to keep my twins out of the kitchen but I have a very wide opening. I bought this extra tall gate and extension. It works great. It is very strudy, fairly easy to install, and it much taller than my girls. It is actually taller than I thought. The only improvement that I would make is to make the door wider. Being that it is so tall, my husband and I have to go through it sideways (especially if we are carrying something/one). But that's not a big deal to me.

First of all, we bought this gate because it was advertised in the catalog as being pressure mountable in addition to also being hardware mountable. We were searching for a reliable extra tall gate to keep our 2-year-old in his room during nap time and bedtime. When we first got the gate, we were incredibly upset to see that in the directions there was only instructions on how to hardware mount it. We contemplated not using it at all, but seriously needed something. Assuming it would do what we wanted and needed it to do, we put the holes in the door frame. Within 24 hours of owning it and having it up - our son figured out the latch at the top as well as the fact that there is no good way of locking the things on the side that tighten it to make it fit in the doorway properly. Now we have a cabinet lock locking it closed each time we need it. We are actively looking for a replacement gate at this time and will be pursuing returning this to OSA as it is TOTALLY NOT worth the money, the time, the holes in the doorframe that we will now forever have or the headache it has caused!

I wanted a gate that my 4 yr old son could walk through (instead of climb over) that his twin brothers wouldn't be able to access. Within an hour they (twins) figured out the latch mechanism & also they turned and loosened the knobs that tightens the gate, so there was no pressure against the wall, which holds the gate up. My husband placed 2 nuts behind the knobs, so the knobs would just spin (not loosen) and I added a security lock to the top, so they can't lift up on the latch. With a few of our own clever modifications....so far, so good.

We purchased this for our very tall 2 1/2 year old bed room when she moved to her big girl bed. Easy to use my daughter can open and close it but once it is locked she cant open it. Works great for a mom who's husband works night...great peace of mind.

You do have to screw into the door the stopers so it doesnt slip when pushed...but very easy to install by myself (the mom).

Would reccomend!

I have purchased several gates over the years from One Step Ahead. They have all been just great. I measured my space carefully and sent for this particular gate to contain an animal. The first gate arrived damaged, so the company sent another immediately. The second gate was too narrow without the extension and too wide with one extension, so I had to return it.

The locking mechanism on the top of the gate is constructed of a very thin plastic arm that rests underneath the metal latch. Upon first use it literally split into two pieces in my hand. [...] I can't recommend this gate. We ended up buying the Summer Infant - Sure and Secure Extra Tall Walk-Thru Gate. Much better design and construction (in my opinion).

I like the sturdy construction, but the walk-through area is a little narrow. It definately keeps the dogs out of the rest of our home, though! We have one dog who would jump over our old gate, but not this one! I also like the way you can lock the gate when closed.

I was surprised at how tall this gate is, which is good since my daughter insists on climbing over the traditional ones. The problem is she figured out the latch system the very first day. It could be a little more child-resistant. Also, the doorway is a bit narrow. I have to lift the laundry basket over the top of it. Overall, I'm happy with the purchase. It serves the purpose of keeping the small children I watch out of the room and away from the fireplace.

This gate is awesome because of the vertical bars; my pup can't catch onto anything so he can't get over it. It is the tallest one I've found yet; still holding Houdini who has gotten out of everything else we’ve put up. We also bought the 24" extension for our wide doorway.
Highly recommend for soon to be big dogs like our Rhodesian Ridgeback pup. Looks as good as a gate can!
