handles prevent getting it (folded) thru doorway - can they be unscrewed or otherwise dropped down temporarily?

Yes, but it involves taking it apart and putting it back together again. We assembled ours in the living room, not realizing that it wouldn't get through the doorway to the room where we were going to use it.As a result, we had to remove the entire top assembly, handles included, to squeeze it through, after which we put it back together. If you didn't assemble it yourself, there should be some assembly instructions included that will let you figure out how to get the vertical section off, and put it back on after it's moved. There should definitely be something in the paperwork that addresses this issue! Yes, but it involves taking it apart and putting it back together again.

No. The handles are part of the superstructure, giving stability to the unit during use and cannot be dropped or retracted. The unit is also VERY unwieldy, even with the deck folded up. It is difficult for two people to move, and impossible for one person.

When using them, the handles will stay together, so it is not a problem. I suppose you could use some sort of clip if you're worried about it.

I don't hang it, but it seems reasonable that you should be able to. I am able to fold the handle down by loosening the side levers as you mention, and you will need to apply enough force to get the handle out of the grooves. As long as there isn't something else prohibiting it from folding down, that should be enough.

No absolutely not. The handles are rubbery..and the screws look like it's welded on so I don't think they will come lose.

Since you own them you would know --- Are you able to put a diaper bag over the bag of the handles without it tipping over when your child gets out? I have a McClaran (SP?) stroller that does this & it drives me nuts!

The door handles do have holes through them that would let you put a lock on (not included). Of course, in this case, the whole shed is plastic including the handles, so it's not going to be very secure, regardless of a padlock on the handles. I believe, if I tried with both hands, I could rip a door off the shed from the hinge side. Don't get me wrong, I like the shed, but it's just not built for security. Just good for keeping odds and ends out of the weather.

No, they are not. It might be they unscrew in some fashion but I have not seen a way to do so in my use of them.I have only focused on using them with the handles however, but I don't see a way to detach them just by glancing at them.

The hinges are covered, so I don't think you could do anything like that. I just tied a piece of ribbon (string would work too, I just happened to have ribbon closer to me at the time), to the top by the handle, and made a loop on the other end so we can loop it over the door handle. When the door is open, it holds the gate door open pretty well. Sometimes eventually it'll slowly pull the door closed a bit, but with a small door stop or if we tightened the hinges on the door, it probably wouldn't do that. If that doesn't sound like a do-able option, then this gate probably isn't for you.

I have not yet folded down, but it appears that you have to unscrew handlebar to bring down, and you would have to remove seat to fully fold down.

When you psh down on the bar for folding the handle it also releases the handle to slide back in. It is a little stiff at first and you will probably have to wiggle it from side to side while applying downward pressure but it wil work itself out in time so you won't need to wiggle it.

the handles can be lowered/dropped a few inches by releasing the RED plastic side clips. the handles just slide down.

Well yes, but as they are riveted on it would require drilling out the rivets. That's not hard to do. The handles will lay down though if that might be an option for you.

Yes, at the base of each handle bar are two flat shaped knobs that you push downward, releasing handles to fold.

No. The handles do not go in, but they fold down. It is a very handy carrying sleeve/case. I can put in my briefcase or bag easily.

The handles come unattached ,so yes you can easily detach them for transport.

In a word, no. The tray door folds down on its hinges as pictured and if that is still in the way, you could just not install the door. You would have to describe the situation you are concerned about in more detail to answer your question in more detail.

No way to do it without unscrewing the handle. However the handle you have to unscrew will screw into the hole on the other handle so you do not lose it.
