The entrance to my dining room which I'm trying to block off is ~10.5 ft. I can't seem to find a single gate which is able to be extended to be able to fit this length without the free standing zig-zag ones which isn't an option because of the proximity to the dining table and oven.

Does this exist? Has anyone had any experience with this sort of thing?

Footnote: it's not for my dog. It's for my cat with CH (cerebellar hypoplasia) who is unable to jump more than a couple inches high at most, but loves waddling around the dining room. I figured dog owners would have more experience with this sort of thing. However we DO plan on getting a dog soon to keep him company, so I think this is relevant regardless. Been looking around shelters recently!

Just hooked up my dual tap kegerator for the first time. A beer and a cider. Bought the kegs from bevmo.

Followed all the instructions. Clamped the co2 lines and everything. Set the regulator to 12 psi.

First started dispensing the cider. It started coming out and then slowly lost pressure. The regulator pressure dropped by about 4 psi and the cider flow slowed dramatically. The cider also came out somewhat flat.

Is this normal? I've read online that it can take about 3 days or more for the pressure to truly regulate, but I'm seeing conflicting things on Google searches.

I just did this 30 minutes ago so I'm not sure what to expect, if I have a leak, etc. Any tips?

Update: I'm an amateur but I feel like the cider needed to absorb a lot of the co2. Just poured another one and it came out a lot quicker and a lot bubblier.

I'm going to let it sit overnight and see where we're at. Worst case scenario, I have a leak and have to drive 30 mins to refill the co2. Hopefully not the case but I'll update this post.

Update #2: After a day I noticed the pressure on the regular had dropped by about 2 psi. I disconnected everything and reconnected it and it seems like it's working fine now.

I tried the dish soap method to find leaks in the co2 lines but nothing seemed to be leaking. My thought is that the kegs themselves were not fully sealed. After re-tapping the kegs, the pressure seems to be maintaining and when I dispense the beer/cider it is now a constant flow rate. I don't know for sure what the issue was, but I would guess that the keg wasn't fully sealed. Hard to say but it's working now.

I also ordered a new regulator just in case the one that came with my kegerator is faulty. Even if it isn't I'd prefer a regular with the two gauges rather than one.
