Yes. It is very easy to open. You just lift the door a little, and push open.

Very easy to open. There's a latch button you squeeze with your finger while you slightly lift the gate using the same hand. Very easy to operate. It's a very good gate. Very satisfied.

Yes, gate is easy to open. I simply lift up the lath and move the gate forward or backwards to enter.

If you keep it clean it's very easy to open. I haven't had a problem with it yet.

You have to go over it. I wanted one that opened too, however, this gate has been wonderful!

It can be left open. My dog would nudge it open. To close the gate, you have to latch it. It's very easy to open and close.

No, it is a bit finicky sometimes, but overall I love having the gate. I can open it with one hand, and it is much easier on my back, and safer than trying to climb over carrying my grandbaby! Just make sure the hinges between the gate and the panels are straight, if not it is very difficult to open and close. I had one set wrong and was cursing the darn thing until I realized what was happening. I leave it open a lot so that my granddaughter who is 10 months can go in and out, which she enjoys. I only close it when necessary.

Yes you can. It works very easily. It is a very light metal-type gate. I carry my 6 yr old granddaughter through it all the time. You just pull up on the lever and turn it in the direction that you want the gate to open.

The tension on the side bolts may have to be adjusted, probably loosened. Try adjusting the nuts a little from each side and see if that allows the gate to open a little easier.

No. You need to lift up the bar and take gate aside to walk through and then set it up again. It is a draw back, but I still like it because it is simple and easy and reasonably priced. I do, however, admit that I use this gate on openings that I don't go in and out of very often.

It is really easy to move. I had my 15 pound Corgi in it and she can move her pen all over the kitchen. We put a brick in it to help, but even that didn't help much. But it is an awesome gate overall.

It's pretty easy. The gates are all connected and tighten and loosen on top for safety purposes. I literally took it out of the box set it where I wanted it and tightened in about 5 minutes. It folds together easy and has a nice snap fasten to keep it together. It is very bulky but that comes with the territory. Planning to keep it for a puppy playpen when the baby grows out of it.

Oh yes. Very easily. The only thing is it can be a lil loud if you don't hold the button down with one hand while retracting the gate - but it's not a reason NOT to buy it. It's a great gate.Just read other people's responses and I'm not sure why they can't open it with one hand but mine is fully operable with one hand. My very active 17 month old squirmy daughter does not hinder my one handed operation of this gate lol.

There is a pushbutton release for inside the gate so you can open it from inside without requiring the code.

Yes, it opens from both sides. From the front, you push a button that unlatches and you push the gate at the same time to open. From the backside you simply lift up the latch and pull the gate open.

Yes, you can it is easy to open, however, if you are planning to use it outside remember that your neighborhood squires will also be able to open it.

It just slips into a little groove. You gently lift up on the gate and it falls into place. To open it, you use your thumb to push in a piece of plastic and gently lift up on the gate to lift it out of the groove. It is very easy to use.
