We needed something to keep the dogs from eating the cats' food & decided a baby gate would work. We are really pleased with the design of the MultiDan. The opening is wider than a standard door and the MultiDan was easily adjusted to fit. We have raised it up so the cats can run under, so not having a bottom rail was vital. The gate was very easy to fix. It is easy to open & close and all round works a treat. I have experience of using baby gates (for babies) & this design is by far the best. I have always found the frame on others a real trip hazard.
