The opening that I want to secure is not straight across. Can I put this gate at a slight angle?

The gate ends need to be on a flat surface so you would NOT be able to use on an angle.

I really don't think so. It's a straight track across the top and bottom that connect together by sliding them into each other. Good luck finding what works for you.

No. Gate works with tension. If not a straight tight fit it may not close properly.

no - a peg is inserted to connect the extension to the gate. Must be straight.

The locking mechanism does not work on an angle, BUT you could mount the gate hinge on the angled wall. As long as the locking side and lock strip meet well it should work.

You can set the big closer arm in 45 degree increments, it's a square peg and a star hole. So you should be able to set it up any way that you like. I would only attempt this if you are pretty handy and will pay close attention to the instructions. But this is a pretty heavy closer. When i think of a wooden gate i think of something fairy light weight. This will put a serious twist in a lighter door. I would only use this on a solid core door, or something pretty substantial.

It is straight, but even at my opening of 66 inches the gate is a kinda unsteady and floppy. It would be worse with a larger gap. A strong child could dislodge it, in my opinion.

No, the 2 mounting surfaces need to be in the same plane. Also the gate would need to be well balanced with good hinges to work.

You might have an issue with the latching side fitting properly into the lock mechanism. The gate is must sit fairly straight into the lock mounted onto the wall. 6 inches might be too much of an angle.

This does not work well on an angle due to the way the locking mechanism works. You can screw a 1x6 oak board to the studs and mount to the oak board on the hinged side and still get a nice finished look.

Depends on what you mean by open. It has 2 knobs on the bottom so you can: (1) open away from you only, (2) open towards you only, (3) open both ways, or (4) not open, w/c is helpful when installing the gate. What you can do is switch the knobs on the bottom while the gate is open, so, it does not close completely. If you are expecting it to stay open at 45 degrees, it does not have that mechanism.

This should work for you. we have our gate in a hallway and both sides are at a right angle.

I believe the opening can be no more than 72" so you should be fine. My opening is 59 1/2 and I left off one section of the gate not to be used. Nice and sturdy. We have no complaints about the gate as long as you can secure attach each end solidly into the wall you should be good.

It won't line up properly until the gate is installed and the tension bolts are tightened. At that point everything should be square. It actually works as a nice guide to know if you have tightened the bolts enough because the lock won't latch until you have.

if the gate is a little bit twisted it doesn't close on its own. look very closely from different angles, may need some tweaking on the install. good luck

I am not sure if the side door opens all the way then it should be fine if not then you will need to put the ramp at an angle.

They can be positioned at other angles but they will not lock in those positions. The gate will only lock in 90 or 180 degrees. When I say lock, the gate comes with a rectangular cap that sits on the joint of the gate. It may be sturdy enough if you do not "lock" the gate, but I haven't experimented with that. Or you may be able to have some lock and others at other angles.... Just an idea

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.
