does this gate have the ability to stay open or is it an automatically closing gate?

We have this gate and it stays open against the wall when we're not using it, it doesn't automatically close.

Stays open until latched. And I'll add that the latch mechanism is very secure.

No, it does not. You must block the gate with something at the open position if you want it to remain open.

It's a great gate. We've had it for a year. My six year old has no problem with it. Plus you can hear it lock when someone closes it, so you don't have to walk over and check the gate was locked.

It will stay open on its own. It only opens in one direction, it has a tab at the bottom of the gate but you can turn the gate so the door of it opens on the side you want.... Towards you or away from you. I turn mine so the tab at the bottom is on the side I don't want my dogs pushing open. I hope this helps :-) I wish I could send ya pics to help see it.

It is a spring and cam type system. If the door is open it will stay open, but once you start to close the door it will pull itself closed. The mechanism in is the center behind the hinge.

The gate opens and closes. The gate door opens only in one direction, and can be secured to stay closed. It does not need to be propped to stay open or closed. It is very functional, and works well in keeping our two dogs (a lab and a great dane) contained in certain areas.

There is a catch that catches when you close the gate keeping it closed (you don't have to lock it). To lock it you need the key and you will need the key to unlock it (every time if it's locked).

Mine doesn't automatically shut. You have to lift and close the gate door each time. It will stay open if you open it.

The gate will stay open. It does not automatically spring shut. You have to close it manually. There is no bar to step over. The entire gate swings open and shut. We are happy with this gate- one of the nicer looking and made. Hope that helps.

I m not sure that If I understand what you mean by stay open feature but you can leave the door open if you want as long as you want. It doesn't just close, it also can stay open.

This gate does not close automatically - you need to push a button and lift the gate slightly to open it. It only requires using one hand though.

It swings back shut automatically. Depending on how level mine is (my teenagers always knock it just enough to make it unlevel - we only use it for our dogs) it doesn't always latch automatically the way it should when it's level. But it is very easy to open and latch shut. Easy to do one handed. If it's not latched shut, my dog can open it and get through. LOL. But I love the gate!! It works great and we are very rough on it.

They latch together automatically. I have three in use and only one gets sketchy because the gap widens in the cold winter weather between our home and the retaining wall the fence is mounted on. They will latch even with a fairly rapid closing of the gates. We use just this latch so opening is a one-handed affair

The gate stays open, but closes easily with the latch. Wasn't a lot of fun to assemble. The printed instructions aren't very clear. However, it's a nice, sturdy gate.

That's a hard question to answer. We didn't use the gate much. We usually just stepped over the playard or reached over it, because it was sometimes a small hassle to open and close when we are juggling our twins. I don't think that's the fault of the manufacturer. To stay closed and locked in position, it had to be that way. We tested several gates, and they were all about the same in functionality.
