Evenflo Position & Lock Tall and Wide Value Adjustable Baby Gate (Farmhouse Collection)

Great for wide doorways/walkways, and good quality for the money
To preface, I use these gates for my dogs, not for babies/children, so my review might be irrelevant to some on here.I have an impressively Houdini-like dog that I’ve had to use a lot of trial and error methods to contain. One thing I’ve found that works is to use a gate on the bottom and to affix a gate like this directly above it for easy put-up and take-down when I leave/return to the house, respectively.I recently moved into a new house with a wider walkway and found that my existing top gate wasn’t long enough to fit in the walkway, so I searched Amazon for a wider one and found this. It functions as any other gate of the like, with two grips on each side that prevent it from slipping on the wall and the sliding bar to adjust the width.My primary reason for reviewing this lies with the maximum width it will accommodate, as it does differ from standard gates used for standard doorways/walkways. My walkway is 48”, and it fits with room to spare (I believe I secure it on the 4th notch from the top), which makes it perfect for my needs!Additionally, I was impressed with the sturdiness of the cross-hatched bars that comprise the insides of the frame. They are far more solid than those of gates of the like I’ve bought in the pastIf you’re in need of a good quality gate at a reasonable price, especially if you have a wide walkway/doorway to secure it within, this is a great option!

Overall it’s a good gate
I purchased the dark “farmhouse” gate because it’s a bit taller. I have a standard sized goldendoodle and wanted to use this to “attempt” to block off specific areas of the home while he’s still a puppy. I purchased this specific brand/type of gate because I really liked it when my son was a baby. It’s cheap, effective and easy to use – no installation. I was really confused when it arrived and the little latching mechanism appeared to have changed. Now, all of the parts that were previously metal (other than the wires of the gate itself) are plastic including the latch. Previously it was metal and you could just push it down and you were done. Now it’s a plastic thing you have to pinch down the tab and slide it. Not a big deal really but I am hoping it holds up as well as the metal. I can see how this helps make it more toddler proof because it’s hard enough as an adult to unlatch it. One handed is not really an option anymore either. I’m taking a star away for that annoyance and wish the would go back to previous design – but overall its still a nice cheap gate that works.

Not as good as it used to be….
I bought on in October 2016. It is the second of the same that I have purchased. I thought that as I had purchased it before and as it was very good quality that I would be a safe purchase. Well, right away, I could tell the difference in its weight. Much lighter that my first purchase. I only bought a new one because the original one fell behind me and I accidentally ran over it in my very heavy electric power wheelchair. I would still be using it had I not broken it, of course. Well, the new replacement broke when it was in use less than two months. My sister was staying with me and when she went to lock it down, the lever just snapped in two. Very inferior quality compared to the original. I am currently looking for a new gate. It’s hard to find the perfect one.As an aside, I was really shocked at the poor quality of wood. I really like everything else about it. The height, just perfect. I have one Pomchi that can easily jump the 24″ height. He could easily scramble over this one as well. We were double gating with this and a 24″. But since he is constantly on the move, jumping off the couch and other furniture and trying to jump fences, he’s pulled a muscle in his back leg and though he still can get over the shorter fences, he cannot at this time jump the larger one. We tried taping the locking bar but it broke right where the silver piece locks into the groove. Also, the little brackets where the pieces slide to widen the gate are constantly coming loose. Those brackets also keep the sides together. It’s really just a big pain and overall poor quality.I currently have everything taped together and just lean the gate against the outside of the door frame. I did attempt to find a way to contact the seller but Amazon seems to make that which used to be easy much more difficult than it should be. I am just very tired.

Amazing gate ! Easy to use ! Lo ve it

Excelente producto, se ajusta a la perfección a la pared y de manera firme. Las instrucciones en el empaque son muy sencillas y claras

I got a kitten and wanted to section off the apartment so the kitten and my cat had space from each other. My kitten, Miss Daisy, was appreciative of it the first night but was ready to share the space with her new brother the next day. So I actually only used it for one night and now it just collects dust. I like that its not a chunky ugly white baby gate, it looked nice in my rustic Pied-a-terre , fit the aesthetic quite nicely. It’s flimsy but it’s cheap so what can you expect. I needed help installing it because I’m slightly inept, but I think I’d remember how to use it given the event of adopting another kitten.
