We want the gate at our front door. The gate should pivot 90 deg. when closed to allow full access of door width. Is this possible?

Yes this is possible. The Expandable Swing Gate is hardware mounted with eyelet hooks that will allow the gate to pivot 90 degrees.

Nope. You will need to put in an eye round in on the side you want to lock. If you use two on the wall side then you've only got to put one in on the side that latches. The top things on both ends can be released so the gate can swing in either direction.

Yes you can angle the gates to fit. It is set to a zig zag pattern. So even if the opening is slightly different, I don't think this would affect you being able to angle the gate. Hope this helps.

I don't think so. This gate is 44 inches and the expansion panels allow it to go up to 72". I think using it at 72" would be a stretch, it would be wobbly at 72".

Mind you, I will present an educated guess. The mechanisms that hold the gate in place are threaded bolts with a cap on the outer end. These fit into mounts that are fixed to the wall either with screws or adhesive disks. That's LOTS of play in bolts. My guess is that so long as you don't exceed the maximum span or less than the minimum span, then this could be done. If you provide me with your width dimensions, I will provide a more concrete response.

Yes. I'm using it in an opening that's 36". The dimensions say you can use it in an opening that's minimum 29" to 34" the gate itself...and a max of 50" if you add the attachments in case u need it in a bigger opening. I had to add the small attachment to the gate in order to make it into my 36" opening.

The hinges are covered, so I don't think you could do anything like that. I just tied a piece of ribbon (string would work too, I just happened to have ribbon closer to me at the time), to the top by the handle, and made a loop on the other end so we can loop it over the door handle. When the door is open, it holds the gate door open pretty well. Sometimes eventually it'll slowly pull the door closed a bit, but with a small door stop or if we tightened the hinges on the door, it probably wouldn't do that. If that doesn't sound like a do-able option, then this gate probably isn't for you.

First, we really like this gate. A well built and funtional product, better than most if not the best. However, this wide of an opening will be difficult. This gate works by pinching between the jambs of the opening creating a large pressure and compresssive force in the gate, enough to flex the gate substantially (way it is designed). With the wide opening the gate may become unstable. You could give it a go with three 10.5" extensions (10.5 x 3 + [28"-32"]) = 59.5"-63.5" opening.

That depends on what "just under 36" means. The door should work well with openings as narrow as 35 5/8". Any narrower than that and you may have a hard time opening and closing the door, because the side with the Pivot (Hinge) could rub against the frame/jamb when you try to swing it. If that happens, you could try rounding the edge of the door that is rubbing (by using some sandpaper, or if you're handy and have a small block plane, you could shave off the edge.Hope that helps. Good luck.

Absolutely. I use mine in just that way and it is perfect. That said, if you have very large dogs, say, rotties, no gate may do the job. This gate is sturdy and beautiful as well.

It MAY be possible expand it, if that's what you're asking. The base unit at the end can be removed and one of the panels could be used in that manner but you'd have to buy two gates. To answer the other part of your question, there is no door.
2013083
Yes, you can. However, we tried to do this for the same size opening and the gate became very unstable. To the point that it no longer worked for our purposes.

This gate is way too small for what you need. I think they show the measurements on their page.
2007873
yes, its possible. This type of gate requires a padlock to lock in place, but its simpley a matter of sticking your arm through an opening. Its not "ideal" but its manageable.
1422739
As designed, yes. But I used a pair of (about) 6"x30" x 3/4" boards, put the screw eyes in them, hooked one to each end and made the gate stand-alone. Wider boards would add stability. This approach won't work as a strong barrier, but does discourage my min schnauzers from entering restricted rooms :)

Probably not. I wasn't impressed with this gate. It nearly pulled out of the wall the first time we opened it. I followed the directions to the letter. It was very hard to use in an area with a lot of traffic.

Tighten both sides more so that the locking mechanism holds. If it is too loose, then the gate won't lock into place and hold.
