This is a fine gate. Solid, strong, dependable. It's easy to install and very functional. It fits nicely in doorways. I saw a review that said they could shift the gate to one side to make a cat opening. I don't know that I would recommend this (the manufacturer does not) - plus your cat might not be narrow enough for that gap. We're still experimenting with "cat passage", so maybe I'll update this review when I discover more.
Please note - it is unlikely that it will work in a hallway without the add on extentions (measure first, buy second!). These extentions are expensive and must be ordered separately (and don't come with free shipping).
It's a great way to close off a room that you may want to keep the door open to. I think there was some warnings about using this at the top of stairs, which I would agree with due to the lack of mounting hardware. There are little cups that can help secure it to drywall, but I don't think they provide the sort of bomb proof secrutiy you might want above stairs. I suppose you could make your own sort of braces, but I think you might consider a different product for top of stairs applications. For the bottom of stairs, it should suffice.
The only thing (other than expensive extentions) that I dislike, is the sharp corners to the gate itself. This part is only exposed when the gate is opened, however, if your little one likes to play with the gate (when it is opened and you are supervising) he/she will get banged up on the edge of the door. We've also got a Evenflo gate, which is less sturdy, but much friendlier on the little guy's shins.

I got this gate to keep my baby out of his big sister's room, which is full of small toys. It installed very easily, and is very secure. My daughter is 7, and has a little bit of a hard time opening it by herself, but we figured out a way using a wooden block. Her difficulty is not a negative for the gate of course, since it's supposed to be hard for kids to open it! I was confused at first by the gate not latching before it was installed, but I hadn't read the tag very prominently attached saying that would happen until it was properly installed! Once it was installed it latched very well. The alarm works wonderfully, very quiet at first, then just loud enough to get your attention without being annoying. I highly recommend this gate!

We just love this gate. The set-up was very simple. And it's a huge convenience to be able to walk through a gate instead of climbing over one!
We did not activate the alarm feature, so I cannot comment on that.
One other nice thing is that you can adjust it to sit closer to one side of the wall than the other. This way I was able to leave enough room on one side for my cats to squeeze through.

This Gate is Awesome for the price. I am using it for a small Dog and it works Great. It's not hard to install and very easy to open and close. Would recommend it for anyone with small children or dogs.
