Review on ๐Ÿพ Improving Pet Safety: Carlson Extra-Tall Flexi Pet Gate by Cathy Espinoza

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent purchase. Featured!

Great Gate. Large - just the right size for the space I needed. Screws into the wall very easily with an electric drill. I'm sure you could use a screwdriver if you had to, but I can't say for sure. Measurements are accurate. Overall the quality is good, especially for the price. Much cheaper than elsewhere I've looked. THE ONLY PROBLEM: If the door is shaken hard enough, the latch will eventually lift, even if you have to slide to the side and then pull up the round latch on either side of the main latch and then lift the main latch. lock out. VERY EASY! I just overcomplicated the explanation haha but one of my dogs is very smart. So smart that he knows how to open every door in our house, even if the knobs are round; So use your mouth, turn your head to the right or left, then push or pull depending on the door/side. And he realized that all he had to do was pound on the door enough and eventually the bolt popped out and the door opened. We currently use a bungee cord with one end hooked to a rung on one of the side panels and the other side/hook to one of the rungs on the door - until we find a prettier option. It's not the end of the world and I really don't think most dogs will be able to find out. But the one I made at home is just very clever. The "cat door" is awesome too. Even my 27-pound Miniature Schnauzer (yes, sadly overweight due to thyroid issues) can survive; So normal size! YES, I RECOMMEND!

Pros
  • Finally bought
Cons
