I have 2 folding gates that are weighted internally at the bottom to add to the stability. Does this one have that as well?

Not that I know of, but stability has not been a problem for me although I do not have it stretched out straight and each end is against the door frame and wall. My two dogs are small but active and they only got over by using a chair that was left too close and that was easy to remedy.

Yes it is. By removing the locking pin. That keep is locked open while in use. Remove the pin & it folds right up. The 2 foot pads also fold up too.

Hello Tham87, There's no hidden special folding feature outside of what you can see in the picture stated above. It does support a lot of weight though.

Yes and no. A simple yes is misleading, because if you do, as WFS mentioned, the brackets pivot, and when the holder is verutcal, the brackets move around. So while you can, it is somewhat unstable.

absolutely. i had my husband put a "hasp latch" on mine. we also joined two gates together with hinges. the panels that I didn't want to bend, we added metal straps. Hope this helps! I love mine once we modified it.

No it is not anchored at the bottom. It does flop around a little when opening/closing the door. It kind of depends what you have on the bottom row.

No. There is a metal bar brace that can be installed between the handles which prevents it from folding inwards.

It folds somewhat, but I have a stand clamp or usually an assistant that holds it in place for me so I don't have to worry about it moving.

No issue if folded all they way and locked with the hinge. But if folded partially it will Close

Yes. Without anything to hold the sections in place they will be pretty unstable. I used a few hollow door anchors and screws in the lower sections, and the unit stays put. Otherwise the bottom sections would sway whenever you open or close the door.

Yes, the two outer bends lock together, and the center bend can only fold one direction. On a caved surface like a lap, it stays flat. On a hill type surface, it folds open at the halfway fold at the center, but is still usable because both halves are flat.

Terry, yes it does. The bottom platform is hinged in the center and folds upward leaving a slim profile. It stays the same height but only about 3" or less thick when folded. I have 4 of them and they are great little "saw horses." The top also has a v groove to help hold round items like pipe in case you need to cut it. They are very well made and you won't go wrong buying them.

yes it does. one side is anchored and serves as a pivot point. the other (latch) side needs to have the gate lifted and set in holes to lock it.

It is a little heavy, but it does fold. We don't fold ours very often so it isn't an issue for us.

Yes. It lifts off so it can be raised or lowered. Legs fold flat for easier storage.

Yes. It takes a little time so you may want to look into a pressure mounted gate that opens instead. But I do move this gate regularly.

Make sure the gate is tightened sufficiently to close, also that the gate is straight, perpendicularly and horizontally. My gate became lose once because the top tighteners moved out of place over Thanksgiving. Too, many people working the gate - pushing and pulling in the wrong directions etc... I plan to install the holders for a more permanent fix soon. If this does not help, please report your situation to Amazon. They are great at helping you solve such problems. And, committed to your satisfaction.
