Bottom Line
If you're looking for a reasonably priced gate for occasional use, then one would have to manually handle the device daily which meant being downright impractical to automate safety measures. If security is a must for you, we recommend a sturdier and assuredly sealed product for efficient vigilance that may control larger/smaller pets even oppositely.
