Evenflo Room Divider Gate: A Multifunctional Solution for My Home
The Evenflo Expansion Walk Thru Room Divider Gate has proven to be an incredibly versatile addition to my home. Initially, I added it to my pool deck to keep my dogs safely away from the pool area, and it worked like a charm.The telescoping design was a perfect fit for my needs. It effectively served as a barrier to keep my four-legged friends out of the pool while allowing easy access for humans. This gate not only provided security but also peace of mind, knowing that my pets were protected.However, what makes this gate truly exceptional is its adaptability. Once I had a proper gate installed on my pool deck, I found another valuable use for the Evenflo gate. We relocated it inside the house, where it now serves as a kennel divider in our laundry room, particularly on rainy days.The ease with which it can be moved and set up in different locations is a testament to its practical design. It’s sturdy, reliable, and does the job admirably in both outdoor and indoor settings.The walk-thru feature is a convenience I’ve come to appreciate, allowing humans to pass through effortlessly without having to disassemble the gate. It’s a small but crucial detail that adds to its user-friendliness.In summary, the Evenflo Expansion Walk Thru Room Divider Gate has proven to be a multifunctional solution for my home. Its versatility, durability, and ease of use make it a valuable asset for pet owners looking to secure different areas of their living space. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a reliable and adaptable gate for various needs.

Awesome gate, but installation is a bit finnicky.
What I like:It’s a really great product with a great idea behind it. It works super well for a multi-functional space. At first glance, it seems like a bad product if you want to let cats through while keeping larger dogs out because there’s no real way to modify the gate itself to let cats through, but I eventually came to the pretty simple solution of just mounting the gate 4 inches above the ground. Just mounting it a bit higher means there’s enough space for cats to squeeze underneath, but dogs are kept out! Really good solution to keep the dogs out of the litter box area while still allowing free access to cats. I also really love how easy it is to remove the gate and/or fold it out of the way. I also love that it doesn’t have that awful toe-destroying bottom bar that other gates have, it can fit in a variety of openings without any modifications or having to keep track of extenders, and it can be easily moved around to anywhere you need it. It also comes with a second set of eyelet anchors so you can install it in another location if you need to move it between two places frequently. If you need more anchors, they are very common basic anchors available at every hardware store on the planet.What I don’t like:It basically requires power tools to install. I had to use a drill to make the initial holes for the eyelets. You might be able to install the eyelets by hand if you have soft drywall or strong hands, but I was 0/2 on that, so had to use a drill. You would also definitely need a drill if installing into anything harder than drywall. I’d also recommend using drywall anchors if you’re putting it in drywall. The gate has been up for a week and already the eyelets are wobbling in the drywall and I’m planning to redo the install with drywall anchors. I just think it should at least come with drywall anchors if they’re so obviously necessary. Another issue is that there’s nowhere to hold it that feels natural while extending it and folding it back and I’ve pinched my fingers several times. I’ll probably add a small knob or handle to the gate to make it easier to use, but, once again, it should really come with something like that.Overall/ TL;DR:I love the design (mostly), the functionality, and the cat-friendliness of it. It’s a very versatile multi-functional design, easy enough to use, and leaves only minor things to be desired which can be easily dealt with in a $5-$10 trip to the hardware store. I will probably be buying another to use in another location in my house.

Expansion Gate is Great
The Expansion Gate for Dogs has been an absolute game-changer for my household! This gate has not only provided a safe and secure space for my dogs but also allowed them to enjoy some sunbathing without causing any inconvenience to our neighbors taking walks.First and foremost, the quality and durability of this expansion gate are remarkable. The gate is made of sturdy materials that can withstand the playful antics of my dogs. Its construction inspires confidence in its ability to contain even the most energetic pups.The installation process was straightforward, and I appreciated the flexibility it offers. The adjustable design allowed me to customize the gate to fit the exact dimensions of my outdoor area. This versatility ensures that it can be used in various locations, whether in doorways, on the patio, or around the yard.The gate’s locking mechanism is secure and easy to operate. I can quickly latch and unlatch it, making it convenient for me to move in and out of the enclosed space while keeping my dogs safely contained.One of the standout features of this expansion gate is its height. It provides a sufficient barrier that my dogs can’t jump over or climb, ensuring they stay where I want them to be. This height is perfect for allowing them to sunbathe comfortably without them being able to disturb or bark at passersby.

I’ve installed this gate as a room divider to keep my rabbit from certain areas and it works very well. The gate is sturdy enough not to be toppled by the rabbit and stylish enough to be in my home at all times. I liked it enough that I bought another one. However, be careful in installing the anchors, as drywall isn’t really strong enough to withstand the tension from opening and closing. Drilling in wood made a world of difference.

It was easy to install and I like the easy close and open feature. Just what I was looking for and it seems fairly sturdy.

I’ve purchased two of these types of gates and I really like how they are easy to use, simple to install, fit into a variety of spaces with little to no problem, and have so far proven to be resistant to child attempts to open them. However, the one problem that I have is the plastic parts. This can get beat up they can bend and prevent the gate from sliding on its tracks. (This is hard to explain without one knowing how these gates work.) This prevents me from easily opening the gate so it’s not exactly convenient. I would happily remove the offending piece of plastic if it wasn’t bolted onto the gate in a way I can’t easily undo. The plastic parts are overall a weak point of the gate. They have cracked near the ends so I have covered those with electrical tape to stop any skin getting pinched. The small pieces on the inside to prevent the tops from sliding too far have also needed to be reattached.My second gate is also just a hair off of where it should be with the latch. The screws should be placed a bit higher to compensate but it’s too late now that I’ve installed them since they only need to go a tiny ways. (This is a manufacturing flaw. I had no problems using the measurements given with my first one.)Honestly, I love these gates for all the former reasons, but they are not perfect. If a way around the plastic parts could be figured out they would be the gate I would recommend them 100%.NOTE* These will not work at the top of stairs since they can bend when a kid pushes on them and a space could open up for them to get stuck in. Holes where you install them are also a necessary evil.
