We have two five-month old German Shepherd "puppies" and needed to contain them from time to time so they weren't roaming the house getting into anything dangerous. The entryway to the kitchen/dining room was 66", so we bought this Carlson Maxi Gate and also purchased the 24" extension. With the extension, the length was perfect and we attached it to the walls. We used longer bolts as the ones that came with it were kind of short and this gate would have some heavy traffic coming in and out of it. The little pet door is very cute and solved our cat problem, so now they can get in and out of the kitchen without having to manage a colossal jump. However, surprisingly, the door is big enough to allow our "puppies" who are the approximate size of your average Collie, to squeeze through. We solved this by tying some string this way and that to make the little door only open half way, just so the cats can go in but not big enough for the dogs to squeeze through. This will work until they're bigger and then of course we can take the string off. The walk-through gate itself is very easy to use. My only issue with it is that you have to pull up on the lever to open, whereas it would be easier to press down, but the design doesn't allow for that. Regardless, it's very easy for anyone to use, and this was one of my initial concerns before buying it because it was going to be used pretty heavily and I didn't want a struggle every time. Works great, and is much less expensive than many of the other gates I've seen.
My husband and I have horses for dogs "kidding!". Our big yellow female Lab took down our "Expanding Wooden Fence" broken in three places. This one is metal nice and tuff works better than I expected. Con: The screws are too small, have 1/2 inch sheet-rock walls used a stud finder then 1 1/4 phillips deck screws to attach plastic anchors. Con: The door on the gate opening is smaller than the expanding wooden fence but works for us. Pro: At the bottom of the new gate I just turned the gate anchors sideways and attached to the baseboard. Just did some minors custom things for my preference: This new gate has a smaller door on the larger door, I have cats so I removed the smaller door so cats can go through all the time. The smaller door hinges are spring loaded. Last the larger door has a stop so the door swings oneway. I used a pair of vice-grips and bent the door stop up. Now the door swings in both directions. All in All it works!
I bought this for a 59 inch doorway. It is sturdy, strong, and easy to install. My 3 pugs and a pitbull are all contained very well within the gate. I highly recommend this gate.
We are very happy with the gate. It did not take too long (half hour or so) to hook up. I recommend using the supplied anchors with the compression fittings to keep the gate from slipping on the door jam. The lever is a little tricky to use with only one hand when the gate is in the locked position; not difficult using two hands. We found that we can leave the gate unlocked for one-handed operation; it is still secure enough that our dog cannot accidentally open the gate when it is not locked, since the gate opens into the room where the dog is located (it might accidentally open if the gate is installed so that it opens away from the direction that the dog might push the gate when jumping/pushing onto it). The cat door is too large for our dog (Cockapoo), so he can easily walk through it; but it would be fine for larger dogs. The cat gate is much more difficult to open/close, since the pin is a little hard to slide (it might just be ours, though, because we have a another, longer gate from the same manufacturer, and the cat gate works better on it). Overall, we are pleased, and would recommend the gate to others.
The gate size is great, had been looking for one low cost and good quality it turned out perfect for my wide hallway it's been great so far to keep my Pyrenees away from the from door
Gate works great. Though I wouldn't recommend it for opening less than 52 inches. I needed a gate for 48 inches and due to shortening up the gate as instructed the bracket kind of comes out into the door opening. This could be fixed by simply cutting off the excess of the bracket to avoid running into it. Just make sure to sand/file down sharp edges after cutting. Overall though its a great gate and serves its purpose well.
The gate does its job. It looks great. The small animal door works wonderful for my cat with a puppy on the other side. Did need to modify the gate some. Screws that come with it are to short for the wall. Gate had to be cut to fit a 52" opening. Other than that we love it!
First, I currently own 2 carlson Gates with pet doors and have had nothing but praise for them. They keep a 1 yr old Basset Hound (58 lbs) were he need to be. They are well made with ample room to step thru them. The latch system is excellent. That is why I was sooooo disappointed with the Maxi Gate. The Walk thru part is smaller and the latch is very cheaply made. I quess I expected the same quality gate, just wider. Not the case.
The gate is really nice but VERY wobbly. I had to purchase anchors to bolt it to the floor to keep it steady
Very disappointed in the fact that when you make it fit a 48 inch door the extra fence part extents into the walkway of the gate opening. Making it diffacult to pass through.
