How do you place gate in door way? Do you push it in place and lift to remove? Want to leave sufficient gap to floor so dog can go under high enough to be a people gate with top about 30 inches. Need it for individual with Alzheimer's as wandering...

It uses a tension system. As long it connects to wall it can be installed at any height. But I personally think any human would blow thru this if they walked into it on accident. I tripped on mine and it SHATTERED. Look for velcro doorway nets (alarmed) that they use in nursing homes.

The directions should be more clear. There is a piece of paper attached to the gate that tries to describe what happens. Basically set up the gate in your space. As you tighten the screws on the side the gap will get smaller and smaller. Eventually it comes together. You have to tighten more than you would think so don't give up.

It's a pretty solid gate, and part of what keeps it in the door is the base that fits in the track. I think stacking them could lead to a dangerous situation with the dog knocking the top gate loose. Also the top of the gate is not flush, so the top gate would not be resting on a flat surface. I think you'd be better off looking for another solution for your jumper! I got this gate for my dog, and she has not tried to get out. (65# German shepherd).

My husband put this gate up because we have a dog, and I liked the design. Also because I wusnted something that would swing open. The easy lach is a big plus. But we have it installed at the top of the stairs. We have a new grand baby, and my concern, is when she gets old enought to crawl/ walk. Is the latch going to be strong enought to keep the gate from breaking open ? I don't want it to be something I have to worry about, her falling doun the stairs. It's screwed into the studs of the doorway on both sides. But I need answeres. Thanks Tammy

Thanks to everyone who responded! We have one rather large person in our household who, unfortunately, won't fit through a 17" gate. So we're still shopping. :-(

Hi Lisa, This gate is Adjustable from 38" to 60" and is 27" high. You could just put it above the base boards. Best, Sharon

I do love my gate. My cat can't get through, but I'd check the specs online. If you have a mini or teacup puppy, they may be able to squeeze through....though foubtful.

My opening was 36 1/2" and 35 1/2" at the baseboard. Worked well with the extension inserted. The 35 1/2" at the baseboard adjustment was almost all the way in on the adjustment, would only be able to go another 3/8" smaller. Very happy with the gate. We use it for our dog, the only issue is with the openings which are tapered at the top and bottom. It is possible for a pet to get their paws caught or wedged in there. I put heavy plastic ties at the top of the taper so they could not slide into the smaller opening.

As mentioned in the product description, the gate stands at 32-inch high. Frankly, it's high enough for large-breed dogs, but a large-breed dog could potentially push it out of position if the dog is one that would try that. If your dog wouldn't try to get through the gate, then it's a great gate.

2 inches between the bars. You might have an issue with the ends depending on the width of your door. Best gate for chihuahuas!

Its a small maneuver of lifting gate up about an inch up and then out ...shouldn't be an issue!

The gate does not have to be installed on the floor. You can set the eyelets at any level you want. They suggest close to the floor so pets cant try to get under it and get stuck

The gate is exactly 30" tall. I measured it. I hope that helps. We love it.

Kacie, just off the top of my head, I really don't know or know if they have come out with wider gates. My opening is 34 3/4" with one extension. If you put a extension on both sides, maybe or if you added 2x4's on each side to pick up some slack you might be able to get the gate to work, but then you reach a point where the gate becomes a little weak, the whole gate. The better you can use the gate with out to much add ons (extensions) the more sturdy and stronger the gate. It is a great gate, maybe the mfg has made wider gates, would hurt to ask, like I say it is a great doggie gate and would work great for a child gate. bryan Kacie, just off the top of my head, I really don't know or know if they have come out with wider gates.

We love ours! We adjusted it by using a metal saw to adjust 1 side at top and bottom to fit the width we wanted. Easy to do and you can not see it at all. We got the tall white that has nice wood door and handle to get thru gate with out having to step over and locks securely in place. Get lots of positive feed back on it.

There is a small gap from bottom of gate to floor but not enough for a child to go under but can stick arms under. We had no issues. We mounted our gate on the inner side of our stairs/ banister b/c there is some push to the gate. It worked Great and we Love our gate!! We also made home made mounts for out banisters, by personal choice is all. Hope that gives you an idea......

The gate has to be mounted a few inches off the ground or else it won't open easily. I had a similar issue. I bought a Stairway Gate Installation Kit so I could mount the gate on the banister side of my stairs. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000P007FI/ref=oh_details_o00_s01_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
