Although I am very happy with the gate, it is not perfect but very useable for me. The opening I have is 57 inches, I could not find anything else to go over this space and work, but adding the inserts to get it to that length takes away the stability. If you have a large pushy kid or dog they Might get through it so do your work and teach it some boundaries. I think even with this said you would be hard pressed to find a better gate. Also, someone mentioned it takes 2 hands, that is if you literally put it in the lock position. You can put it in the shut position and it is easily opened with one hand. I almost didn't buy this gate because of that review but rest assured, it is not difficult.

Fits perfectly in my 47.5" hallway. This is the 3rd gate I purchased that advertised fitting that dimension and this one actually does. I've had the automatic closing gates before, but prefer this because it stays open when it's not needed. The only complaint is when the gate handle is fully latched down it can be hard to impossible to open 1 handed.

I bought this gate to help contain our dog (medium sized) in a specific area while we're away and needed something to fit the expanse of a wide hallway. This gate fit the bill perfectly. It is well made and sturdy and is firmly secured on each side with a plastic cup and screw (2 on each side). You then make adjustments on either side to firmly secure the gate by pressure. There are also several extensions which can be added to accommodate a wide opening (ours is roughly 50"). Everything is nicely painted and all the parts fit. I would definitely buy this again.

Good product just missing two wall stoppers for one side. But shipped super fast!!! The product would have been 5 star if i had all the pieces to it. I will be messaging them to see if i can receive these two parts.
