This gate works well.  I love the features of the little door for the cats, and also that you can walk through it and not have to climb over or unhook the whole thing.  One thing to be aware of is if you have a big dog that jumps up onto the gate, you may want to look at a different one.  This is not sturdy enough to hold a lot of weight and could easily be ripped from the wall.  Our dogs stop when there is any kind of barrier, so it works well for our needs.
