How long is the gate latch bar? The gap between my fence post and gate has increased over time. I need a bar that's long enough to reach latch

The latch bar is about 3 inches beyond the flattened section. My gate has a 1"gap. Note that the latch bar is solid metal, not hollow like other products.

2 and 1/4 inches between the bars. You can set the gate as high or as low as you want from floor to bottom of the gate. You simply adjust and set the wall anchors as you want them. Works well for me., I have a 90 pound German Shepherd and the gate works for him ( and me).

I don't have access to the gate right now to measure it but it does swing both ways. We've had it for 6 months and it seems to be holding up well to the weather. It takes a little getting used to the latch but I see that as a good thing so that my 4 year old doesn't leave the deck. It's a good gate.

2 1/4" at the largest area (between the bars). I did not purchase the extension pieces so I cannot comment on their widest openings. I love this gate so I hope it works for you

Tighten the extension screw ends on the right and left sides of the top gate to push the gate closing closer together. At some point, the gate opening should close enough so that the gate latch will catch. You will need to repeat this procedure at the bottom sides of the gate too. If the gate still hasn't been pushed enough toward the center to close, then you may need to order some side extensions. The width of your door opening should be within the stated range measurements of the box. If your opening is wider, then you will need side extensions.

The gate is 34 inches. It comes with 3 extensions. One is 10in, one is 7in and one is 4in. So using the gate, 10 in and 4 inch you will be good to go! Keep the 7 in just incase you move or want to move the gate. Anyway, it looks great, easy to install.

I have my closed limit set so the gate is actually pushing against the closed pole. It's takes several times of trying to get the timing just right for the limit to set at the right place and before the current limit kicks in but once it is set the gate is held firmly in place. Try marking the ground where you pressed the limit set button as the gate crosses it. That way you can use a visiual clue and work the limit right up against the closed post. Be patient it will take several tries. Good luck

Yes- The gate will go to 72''. We purchased 4 gates and we have them all adjusted to different lengths.We are very happy and will order more. One was missing the hardware so we called the # on the box and they sent it right away.

2 inches between gate bars others on sides a little less. I use it at my back door to keep my 4 lb 6 oz multipoo from scratching my door. I love it , would also b great inside my house. Highly recommend made well, and can swing in or out or u can adjust so it only swings on way. Hope this helps. Would b fine for children I see no problems. Jan

For the close install that I did, there are points on this gate latch that can be ground down to gain necessay clearances. Otherwise, I'd have to go outside to measure and it is very cold with fresh snow so at this moment, I'll pass on the measuring, at least 'til this afternoon.

Mounted on the post it is about 7" high and about 11" wide ( on the backyard side of the post, part of the item can be pushed from that side to open the gate and this same part extends past the post to catch the gate bar). There are two holes just under the catch bar that line-up and a padlock through those holes locks the gate bar in place.

Hi Ben, the gate should be about 2 ft longer then the opening, however, if you have existing gate which is just little longer then the opening, you may weld, or connect an extension of 2 feet with triangular reenforcement, so you can conect the end of the chain to the end of the extension, and you still have 2 ft outside the opening, where you can locate the motor assembly. I did so, and it works perfect.

I would also like to know the total width of the bar. My only suitable doorways are bound by walls on either side, so anything wider than 35" won't work. I found this out when my Xmas gift of an Iron Gym bar would not fit. Why is this info not part of the basic description? Thanks, Nick.

The gate "as sold" only extends to 53". You can buy additional extensions to make it fit your 88" opening. You can buy extensions that are 7" or 3.5"....sooo 5 extensions that are 7" would get you to 88". Good Luck!!!

Details say for up to 40.5 inches, but extensions can be added. I do like the gate. Opens easily both ways and closes easily with the latch.

I ordered the 7" extension and I didn't have any fitment issues. It slid right into the main gate. How is it not fitting?

It comes with the extension, but it doesn't help if your opening is between 33-35", which is the crazy part. The gate fits 29-33" without the extension and 35-39" with the extension. This gate with or without the extension will NOT work with an opening between 33-35"!
