Does this gate work well with baseboards? The doorway has a 33" opening at the bottom but a 36" opening at the top.

There are 4 individual adjustment bolts, one at each corner of the gate. Each bolt has 3"-4" of travel or 'play', so you should be able to use it with an opening of varying width.

I also say no. I am surprised to see that the product description states that this gate would work for a 55" doorway. Fully extended I measure about 53", just as the previous poster did.

My door is 6' 7" height x 29 3/4 width someone said it is flimsy - that's not true. They probably did not put in bottom screws. Mine is very sturdy and does hold 36 pair.

My hips are quite wide and I can get through. You can always go through by turning a bit to the side. I think a wider gate door wouldn't have enough stablity for a standard doorway sized opening. The side panels would be quite slim, but they are the ones the hold the pressure.

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"!

My stairway opening is exactly 33" counting the hardware installed. This gate is adjustable, but check to be sure on the specs, minimum opening.But i love this gate!!!!!!! Hope this helped

I think I expanded mine to 72in, it comes in 4 pieces (5 with the door gate). I dont see why not? I think you can use any amount of pieces you want. I had to use all 4. You can adjust all of them. So im almost positive it should work for you.

The gate is 32" in the middle section. I don't it would work well for a 24" entrance.

The bottom of my door is 1" above top of the base plate. The base plate is 1/2" in height. Ideally, you want the bottom of the door as close to the top of the base plate as possible to give it the most resistance strength. You could add another flat piece of steel or aluminum to sandwich between the floor and base plate to raise it up. But I think it will work for you.

We use ours at the top of the stairs and have never had an issue. We have an extra-wide staircase, so this is the only gate that works for the size.

I'm no expert, but I think it could work with a 36' base. My base is 38" and there is plenty of room. I would almost say even 34" but don't hold me to that.

The gate will fit an opening that is 25 inches or larger and up to the maximum indicated on the box. Ergo, it will fit nicely in a 27 inch opening. Based on your comment, I suggest you get someone with minimal or better handyman skills to install it.

I had to cover an opening that size with this gate. I just added a single 2x4 as a spacer on the hinge side, and it works perfectly. My wife runs a daycare, and the gate has been up and solid as a rock for 9 years.

Yes it will. Our doorway is 33" and we do not have any need for extensions.

I don't think you would be happy with the fit. The base is reinforced but with a narrow door opening, it will probably rip the sides. Mine did not fit well and ripped during installation. The door opening I have is 8 ft. Also the floor mounted anchors will probably get in your way while loading / unloading.

Yes it can. I currently have mine in a 30 inch doorway, but I have also had it in a 36 inch doorway as well.

Mine is installed in a 30inch woodframe doorway but the gate stretches well beyond 36inches. I used 8 inch lag screws that I purchased from Lowe's to mount it inside the door jamb behind the existing door leading to my basement. Should take much more than just kicks to knock it down. Works very well for what I bought it for. Wife is very happy with it.
