Can this gate be positioned in angles other than 90 and 180? Or do they have to lock into place?

It can sit at any angle you like. The corner covers only lock in at 90 degrees but I find it totally stable without them...

Hi- The gate itself is hinged it's own frame - The hinge swings freely to open and close (it has a locking/catching mechanism at the bottom of the attached frame). The Frame that the gate is attached to can be swiveled to all different angles that could you need. 1 nice feature is that once you get this into the position you want there are rubber covers so that the animal cannot push the angle that you set. I have two pretty rowdy sm/med adult dogs and this is worth every penny I paid for this. Hope this helps your needs

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

You could put them at other angles but when at 90 or 180 degrees they can be locked with caps. The caps also keep the pins that hold the sections in place. You would want to be careful they did not come out and get lost. This gate is awesome i've just ordered a second one for my vacation home.

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, it can be rotated 90 degrees. Please note - there is no way to anchor once the position is fixed. Its a very painful process to get the mount to align in perfect position

Short answer: not really.Long answer: You're attaching four fairly long screws to a flat metal plate, so the 45 degree angle difference will really cause you some serious problems. Now, you might be able to mount it to one wall in the corner and just angle it to fit, but I'm not 100% on that working out, and you'd be kinda losing the value of the motion this thing offers by doing so. I guess you could cut down to the studs and install a finished cross-piece in the corner to mount on, but that'd be a big job. Good luck!

Well, the 'pin side' has to be installed on the gate and the 'lock side' has to be on the fixed wall or post. Also worth mentioning - the key side probably can't be installed upside down. I cut a piece just a hair too short and so our latch relies on gravity to shut fully... and the lock won't catch if it's not shut fully.

Not 100% sure! I used them on 2 4" wide x 8' high gates and they worked great. I would suggest you try it on one gate for a few months and if it works well, then install it on the other. Make sure you mount it on the hinged side and I would recommend that you do not exceed a 45 degree angle. Hope this helps!

The two previous answers are correct, you need a Phillips screwdriver. Measure the length you want your gate to be and use the supplied brackets to lock in place.

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

door angle opening is not adjustable. It opes a little more than 90 degrees omly

Yes pivots 3 places 180 degrees. Hard to imagine you couldn't do what you want .

I had a slight, 10 degree angle on one of my gates. I put plastic wedges, available at most hardware stores, behind the latching hooks, to make the angle almost non-existent, and it works fine.

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.

No, I installed it straight, but it can be installed at an angle. It does have it's limitations, but as long as you anchor it properly, it should be fine.

no problem...you can slide the gate and set it at any width...mine is a total of 33.5 inches including hinge,etc...I could easily narrow it by 5 inches or so.

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.

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.

That would seem to be ok... the gate itself is not that heavy and the design is really good. I wouldn't see any problems doing it that way.

Based on my experience with this gate I don't think it would work well at an angle
