the gates work well and was exactly what I needed. I have a entryway that is the size of two doorways and this fit great with some extra fence still! The only issue I had was when screwing in the bottom holder, you need a REALLY long extension on your electric screwdriver or a long manual one. You can use the sticky pads they come with instead of screws but it didn't seem super secure when it just had the sticky pads one. They look nice and are pretty easy to use.
