Our verdict
The Carlson 0941 is a 36 inch extra tall metal walk through gate with its own small pet door built in, and a 4.4 star average across 6,700 reviews backs it up as a sturdy option for taller barriers.
Doorways between 29.5 and 36.5 inches wide where you want extra height plus a small built in pet door for cats or small dogs to pass through freely.
Skip if
Your doorway is wider than 36.5 inches, since this model doesn't stretch as far as some other Carlson or MidWest gates in this lineup.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview
['Carlson built this gate to stand 36 inches tall, taller than most standard pet gates, and it expands to fit doorways from 29.5 to 36.5 inches wide. The standout feature is the small pet door cut into the main gate, which lets a cat or small dog come and go without opening the full walk through door.', "It's made from metal in a black finish, mounts with pressure rather than hardware, and is rated for all breed sizes and all life stages by Carlson. At roughly 11.2 pounds, it has enough heft to feel stable once wedged into place.", "At $49.99, it's priced similarly to other mid range metal gates. With 6,700 reviews and a 4.4 star average, it has a solid, if more modest, review base compared to some higher volume gates in this category, but the rating itself is consistent with the brand's other models."]

Performance notes
The built in small pet door is the main functional difference here: it lets a cat or small dog move freely between rooms without you having to open the main walk through door every time, while the 36 inch overall height still gives you a taller barrier for a bigger dog. Pressure mounting keeps installation simple but is better suited to doorways than the top of a staircase.
What buyers say
A 4.4 star average across 6,700 reviews is a solid, consistent result in line with Carlson's other gate models, even though the overall review volume here is more modest than some of the higher traffic gates in this batch.
Yes, it includes a small pet door built into the main gate, so a cat or small dog can pass through without you opening the full walk through door.
How wide of a doorway does this fit?
It expands from 29.5 to 36.5 inches wide, which is narrower than some other gates in this lineup, so measure your doorway before ordering.
Is this gate tall enough for a dog that jumps?
At 36 inches, it's taller than most standard pet gates, which gives it an edge for dogs that jump, though no pressure gate is guaranteed to stop every determined jumper.
