"Our cat is an inside cat. Sometimes outdoor cats come to visit and our cat lunges at the screen door, which then goes off track. This gate is a perfect fit inside our French door. Our cat can sit as close as he wants to the screen but can’t get to it."
"I purchased this cause my neighbor showed me her's and I thought it would be perfect. WRONG! The "pressure mount", doesn't hold and there is zero ways to get it locked in place so that it is sturdy. Will be returning and hopefully I will be able to get one that will hold in place."
Bottom Line
This is a good gate for keeping pets in or out of certain areas, but buyer beware of some usability issues. For the price, it still offers a good value if you can overlook the Gate mechanism and noise problem.
