You can make this into an octagon/circle, square, or a rectangle, L- shape, and probable a triangle! The gates opening is a little small it you are blessed with nice size hips, but it is workable for me and my family that range from 125lb to 230lb."
"Sadly my father and step mom adopted this dog and she would have been a project for a seasoned dog trainer.... they were definitely in over their heads with her as they are NOT dog trainers. When I knew I was going to have to take her on along with my father, I started researching gate options. And I realized that until the dog was here, I really wasn't sure exactly how it would work out. After trying multiple configurations I ended up with 4 panels at one end of the long living room to lock the dog in both when we go out (she will crap if left in a large enough space) as well as a place to put her if we have company to keep them safe while she's learning her manners. We have 3 more panels at the other end of the room to keep her in with us most of the time while allowing the cats a safe space where they can get to their litter and food. The only thing I haven't used is the actual gate because my father's Rollator won't go through it, but that's ok - it may come in handy in the future. I was getting quite discouraged when I started researching for a gate because I really didn't know exactly how I would set things up and I didn't want to have to buy 4 different gates (or more) to figure out what would work. If you have someone who can't get through the standard gate that most of these things have, this is your gate."
"I have a 7 month old feisty chiweenie and a 4 month old boston terrier and I've tried just about everything. they have their bedroom area, their play area and bathroom all in one fenced corner of my apartment, and I'm not even using all the walls!"
"We bought 3 of the 192" Play Yard's and set up sectioned off areas in our back yard--they work and look great."
"I set up the mat (we ordered the HemingWeigh Multicolored Mat), placed the panels in the configuration I wanted and placed it on top of the mat. Then I took a pen and traced along the inside of the metal panels, took the play yard off and cut along my pen line."
"We bought this for our puppy since the first day he came home."

"For your reference, this is from the instructions, so you can measure your doorway properly: 28" - 31.5": no extensions. 32" - 36" one short extension. 36.5" - 40.5" one long extension. 41" - 45" one long and one short extension. 45.5" - 48" one long and two short extensions."
"Pros. The height is great at 34 inches tall (note, it's only 36 in at the top curve of the walk through portion). The metal gate feels very sturdy and shows no wear despite being bumped and banged into repeatedly with luggage, snowboards, vacuum cleaner etc. I should note that pushing the black slider on the top latch is not enough to open the gate. While many adults have simply done that and been able to yank the gate open, no child under the age of five has been able to do the same. The added height has made it near impossible for the younger kids to maneuver both the latch and the lifting the door requires to get it open. I should note that it annoys me to have to adjust it, but I know all gates need to be checked and tweaked occasionally in order to keep them performing their function. It has been up in my home for 8 months, and with only minimal tweaking, has stood up to the punishment of five rambunctious kids and their little friends. I will admit to searching for a different option for the top of my stairs since my banister poses mounting issues and the bottom bar of this gate scares me as a tripping hazard."
When installed, the "2-inch" space between the bars is reduced by the pressure between the doorway or opening. All of this information can be found within the Instruction Manual that is provided within the packaging. Easy to use lever handle features a one-touch release safety lock.

I bought three of these gates and they worked perfect for the space I needed them for. I mean for come on how did you miss the bright orange paper that hangs from the gate? But if I could recommend anything I would say make the gate open a bit wider."
"For the reviewers who claim this gate is cheap or defective, you are wrong."
"A lot of people stated the gate came with a defect but it is because they must not have read the brightly attached paper (see photos)."
"The latch to this gate is also difficult to operate, much more difficult to open than the Munchkin gate. While I like the metal construction, I need a gate with a wider opening and a latch that is easier for me to open single-handed."
"Oil or moisture has since leeched out of the rubber feet onto our wall, permanently staining them."
"For one of my doorways, the gate was just a tad too narrow to reach both sides and feel stable without the included extension, BUT with the extension it was a tad too wide and wouldn't fit at all. After running into the sides of the gate I've come to realize that either an average build male is too big to walk through or the opening is too small."
"The Munchkin lock is a lift and squeeze function designed to be done with one hand, the Regalo requires that you pull back and lift up which can be done with one hand, but is far easier with two hands (and let's face it if you have toddler you never have 2 free hands!). The Regalo only swings 1 direction and has no additional lock feature."

"It could look like a snowman which could be OK - but it could also attract attention from little eyes controlling little fingers."
"I prefer the ones that are cupped so they seal against the plate and you use the prong of the device you're trying to plug in to remove them."
"The outlet plugs are great especially if you have children running around the house touching everything I find that These clear plugs work best for us because I also have white rounder electrical plugs and the chlildren always seamed to be trying to touch and pull on the white plugs so I moved all the clear to the reachable outlets and use the white plugs for counter outlets."
"They are totally flat, they don't have the contoured edge that I have seen on other outlet covers."
"Having these on all of the outlets in our house gives me a little more peace of mind."
"These are fine for really small children as they do physically isolate them from the outlet contacts."
"These eill work to protect the socket, are very inexpensive per piece - however there is a design flaw: It's nearly impossible to remove when you want to switch things around."

"Each lock also comes with an "off/on" switch which is great in case you need to get in and put back a few things in a certain cabinet and don't want to have to keep getting the magnetic knob. I'm so grateful for Safety Baby Cabinet Locks and I would definitely recommend this product to anyone that has little children."
"Was looking for a safe way to secure our cabinets but didn't want to damage the wood by having to drill a permanent solution. When I received the item, the first thing I noticed was how nice the locks and magnet were packaged. When I opened them up the actual lock is made of what feels like a heavy duty plastic. - I placed the first one on the cabinet and realized that I needed to move it down a bit. - My wife was concern that if this was a special type of magnet that if we lost it, it would cost us down the road to replace."
"I know it doesn't sound like a big deal but when comparing that to simply opening the door and pressing down to unlock I went for a better solution for me Safety 1st 14 Pack Wide Grip Latches."
"The directions are clear, but choosing the location and fit where this would trigger the lock but also be easy to open with the magnet was a little tricky!"
"We needed to have baby locks on some low cabinets that housed some very good china."
"Got these after a lot of hassle with some screw-in typed magnetic locks, and I am going to buy more of these kind!"
"I bought a 4-pack of these cabinet locks, not realizing that to open the cabinet you need to use a round “key” (provided) to open the lock."
