A sound choice for wide doorways and the bottom of stairs when the opening matches one of its fit ranges. Measure first, since several widths between those ranges will not hold, and it must never go at the top of stairs.

Overview
Blocking a wide doorway or the foot of a staircase is the job here: Regalo's gate expands with add-on extension pieces and braces against both sides with pressure spindles, backed by wall cups. A walk-through door with a locking latch lets adults pass without removing the frame.
Width coverage earns this gate its place, since two extension pieces stretch it across openings far wider than a standard door. The weakness is the stepped fit, with dead zones between ranges where it cannot be tightened. Measure the opening before ordering.
Who it's for
Homes with a toddler or a small to medium dog and an extra wide doorway or stair base get one gate that spans it. Owners needing top of stairs protection, or a fit at an in-between width, should look for a hardware mounted gate.
Pros and cons
- Spans extra wide doorways with included extensions
- Walk-through door with locking latch
- Wall cups and screws come in the box
- Certified by the Baby Safety Alliance
- Several opening widths fall between fit ranges
- Never safe at the top of stairs
- Wall cups required for a secure hold
- Slight latch gap until fully tightened
Performance notes
Hold depends on spindle pressure against both sides of the opening and on the wall cups that stop the frame from sliding. Until the frame is tightened, a small gap shows at the door latch, which the maker says closes once the gate is snug. Openings that fall between the extension steps cannot reach full pressure.

Frequently asked questions
Does the Regalo 1185 DS fit every width between 29 and 47 inches?
No. It fits 29 to 29.5 inches with no extension, 33.5 to 34.5 inches with the 4 inch piece, 41 to 42 inches with the 12 inch piece and 45.5 to 47 inches with both. Openings of 29.5 to 33.5, 34.5 to 41 and 42 to 45.5 inches do not fit.
Can the Regalo extra wide gate go at the top of stairs?
No. The maker warns never to use it at the top of stairs, to prevent falls. It is meant for the bottom of stairs, hallways and doorways.
Why is there a gap between the door latch and the frame?
The maker says it is not a defect. The gate is pressure mounted, and the gap disappears once the gate is tightened in its opening.
Are the wall cups optional on this Regalo gate?
No. The listing says wall cups must be used to hold the gate securely. Four wall cups with screws are included.
