Can the gate be mounted on an angle or does it need to be straight across like in a normal doorway?

I have mine at an angle. It works fine. It swings. As long at the wall where you mount it is flat the angle does not matter.

The gate is attached with 4 small brackets so as long as the surface has a flat area approximately 1 1/2 inches square it will work.Ive had mine for months and would highly recommend it.

I am afraid I do not know for sure. It seems to me that it might be just fine at an angle...but mine is straight across and I have not t4sted the latch mechanism from an angle. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Let me first say that we mounted ours straight. Let me also say I think you should contact the manufacture to get more details. With that said, I see no reason why it can't. The door swings 90% either side. So if you have a door angle that's say 45% and the other is the same or flat, I see no reason why it wouldn't work, as long as you use the proper anchors. Keep in mind when you swing the door to one side, depending on the angle, the door will extend out further away from one side. Good Luck,

I don't think so. The way the gate attaches, I think it would have to be directly across from the hardware it hooks into. I haven't tried to mount it at an angle, however. We have it outside, blocking the stairs of our deck and it has worked great. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!

It will be straight. This gate is a God send! My family loves it and its classy looking enough to go with any decor. :-)

if it's a wood bannister you can drill right into it...only 4 screws per side....if metal railing...we strap a piece of wood to it and then mount gate into wood

I was able to do so in my application. However, only the hinge side can be angled, the latch side must be perpendicular to the mounting surface. I love this simple gate and own three.

Yes. That is how I use it. It has two gates, one for vertical and one for horizontal.

I mounted mine vertically so I could angle them the way I need in my backyard. If mounted horizontally there is no Sid to aside movement .

I haven't removed it but it looks straight forward. However, the mounting hardware will still be on the gate. If you take that off you will need a drill or a strong arm and a screwdriver.

As long as the locking brackets are perpendicular to the to the hinge side. You will have to fabricate a way to mount the brackets on an angle.

yes it can be mounted at any angle mine has been on its side since I bought it. rock on

if the surface is angled it would be ok has to be mounted on a flat surface I would not recommend putting washers or spacers to angle it.

It DOESN'T have to be perfectly straight, however, you should line it up with whatever the angel of your entryway/stairs for it to be effective. What I mean is, you can't make it go diagonally across your bottom stair (that's what the instructions say. Mine is slightly askew and it works just fine because there is still solid ground beneath it. I could see a kiddo sneaking under if it were diagonal over a lil open point.) hope that's helpful.

MLE, the gates are pivoting and can pretty much be positions how ever you want them, its just that they need be angled some to give support to stay up. Unless you have a means to secure them to something, my case, I had to stretch the gate straight in order to cover the gap I needed to block. bryan

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 :)

The door can be mounted on either side and the door itself just flips over to accommodate the hinges on the opposite opening. I recall that the instructions show this.

Yes. The top and Bottom can be adjusted separately so it will work with molding. My molding is angled and the gate is square so it would be nice if the adjusters would swivel to accommodate the angle but they don't. It works fine but occasionally becomes loose and needs to be retightened It is very secure as long as you keep it tight.

We had a railing in the way, so screwed a 2 by 4 to the wall and attached one side of gate to that. You would think it would be uneven, but it's not. Great gate.

My gate is attached to the banister with the latch side on the wall. It's attached just above the wood. Not sure if this helps answer your question. When I look straight down at the rail from the top, it is uneven in that it angles slightly more toward me as it connects to the wall because we wanted to narrow the gap a little between the edge of the top step and the bottom of the gate. So on the banister side the rail is over the opening of the step, but on the wall side the rail is slightly over the floor before stepping down. Don't know if this makes any sense, but it has worked great.
