This gate was very easy to set up.  It works well as a barrier for our pit mix, and the door swings easily both ways and stays open.  Be aware that while this fits nicely against a smooth doorway or high molding, if you have 2 inch or rounded molding you're going to have to make some adjustment to the surface in order to attach the discs that attach to the wall.  Also, the discs are permanently attached to the wall, either by double stick tape ( included) or screws, so while you can take the whole gate down if necessary , those discs are staying on the wall.  This is a good gate , especially for the price.
