Paw Seasons Extending Pet Gate

Very easy to use. But not too easy for my grandson. Not bad to install, love the option to have the gate open one direction. NO BAR to step over, so this gate is not a trip issue for older family members. We have three of these gates, the first was harder to install than the last and you can take it off the wall mounts easily if needed to move larger items through a doorway. It may not cover your widest hallway so measure prior to purchase.

This gate is so much more convenient than the pressure-mounted gate I used before, especially being able to open and close it with one hand, and it won't fall down because it is mounted to the door frame. And since it doesn't touch the floor it doesn't scratch the floor. The gate only seems to open 90 degrees, which is fine for me because the room where the dogs are occasionally confined is at the end of a hallway, so the open gate lines up against a wall when hinged on the right. It is very convenient that you can choose whether to hinge it on either side. The gate width is also adjustable so it fits a range of door or walkway openings.

The closing mechanism is slightly difficult because it requires you to lift the somewhat heavy gate up a bit and then set the end bar down into the groove on top of the opposite wall mount. The gate is attached to the fixed side by sturdy metal springs which provides the required "give" to lift the gate. However I think this simple approach will last longer than other designs, especially as the gate is made of metal. Time will tell!
