Carlson Mini Tuffy Metal Expandable Pet Gate

This gate is perfect for small dogs like our Yorkie. It is very sturdy, sets up in a matter of seconds, and is short enough that we can step over it easily when we need to. The pet door is a great feature and allows us to let him in and out without taking the gate down or bending over to pick him up each time. He can come and go as he pleases without our help. We love this gate !!!

I was looking for something to contain my ShihTzu puppy in one room, and this one worked fine. It's good quality and easy to step over.

It was difficult for me to find a gate with a pet door that could fit in my 26" wide door opening that I could also step over, so I was pleased when I found this one. It fits very securely into the doorway and the quality is top notch. However, even though it fits in my 26" wide opening (the minimum for this gate) the pet door can't be used because it only leaves about 3-4 inches for my cat to pass through. Could she fit through? Technically, yes. Do I want her to have to squeeze through it every time? No. I'd like her to be able to pass through comfortably. So if your door/opening is 29" or greater, I think this would be perfect for you because it can open up wide enough for the pet door to be about 6-7 inches wide. We did end up securing the gate off the floor about 7 inches so our cat can go under it, and I can still step over it. So it has worked out in the end.

The gate is almost indestructable but this particular one is quite short and if your dog is a good jumper dont even bother ordering this item. But overall the quality was surprisingly good and its not too hard to get into place, either between a door or walls in a hallway.

But comes short of what I had hoped for.

Don't get me wrong, these gates are very well constructed and as advertised. What I am disappointed in is that they are not easily adjusted and they can only be adjusted into the half inch range, for us that meant that we have to lean one gate up against the wall opening and hold it up with items on the other side as 1/2 an inch was too small up and too large down for our opening. All in all they are keeping the dog out of the cat's food, which is good.
