Q:How high off the floor are the bottom pads that press against the wall? Trying to figure out if there will be interference with my baseboard trim.

A:

They are 4 inches high from the bottom of the gate. My baseboards are also 4″ so I slightly adjusted the height of the gate so the bottom of the gate is not completely touching the floor.

Q:Can it be installed so that the door will open in the direction of your choice? Will the door stay open if you do not want it to auto close?

A:

No to both of those questions

Q:Can the gate be left open if desired or does it always swing shut automatically?

A:

It can be left open which is a nice feature. My last gate would always shut and we ha to use a bungee cord to keep it open.

Q:Is this really a cherry color? There is a similar one that is listed for $89 that doesn’t list a color but the pictures look to be the same color. I purchased this gate in a store and it is a walnut color in person which is what I need. That sku…

A:

Hi
We bought this gate a couple months ago (our stairway is cherry) and the gate is darker, more like a mahogany but with quite a bit of red in it. It blends well, but I would not call it cherry. Other than that, it is a fantastic gate that I would recommend to anyone. Just make sure you follow the directions exactly, there are ones for top mounting and ones for mounting at the bottom of the stairs. If you don’t mount it correctly at the top of the stairs, a child may be able to push it hard enough to make it fall. Hope this helps.

Q:What is the space between the bars? Trying to find something to keep Mr. Kitty down stairs.

A:

The gaps are about 2.5 inches at any given point. The widest one is slightly more, the thinnest is slightly less. So it depends how rotund or inventive Mr. Kitty is! You could maybe screw some garden wire-mesh stuff into the gate if he’s a very little guy.

Q:Cant this gate be installed at an angle?

A:

If you mean not square to the wall? No, the pads will slip off the wall. If you mean leaning in or out sure that is not a problem as long as you can open the gate up.

Q:Does this include the hardware mounts for stairways as it says in the description?

A:

Yes, it sure does. It’s a great looking gate and good quality.

Q:how wide is the actual door opening?

A:

it is 18.5″ at the smallest point from hinge to locking at top and 19.75″ from bar to bar in the middle. we have it installed in our master bedroom doorway and it is perfect with the auto close/lock. great one hand opening. hardly even notice it’s there now.

Q:Will this take the paint/drywall off when removed? My last baby gate took a chunk out with it.

A:

I don’t think so. It comes with some round pieces with edges you screw into the wall to keep the gate from sliding out of place. Then you screw those 4 adjustable pegs on the gate until they tighten to fit inside the round plates that you have attached to the wall. I use the gate to keep my dogs out (not a baby) so I didn’t use the plastic pieces that screw into the wall since I am not using it for safety purposes. The ends of the pegs are flat rubber so they don’t really damage the wall. Now if you use the plastic pieces that are supposed to attach to the wall you will probably have screw…

I can’t remember if those attached with screws or powerful tape, but I think it was screws.

Q:Is this VERY easy to open and close, one-handed, at the bottom of the staircase?

A:

yes, you just kind of squeeze the top bar (where there is a button on either side of the bar) and push down a little. Could totally do it with one hand.

 

Q:Will this gate work in a 33″-34″ opening? Thanks!

Q:what kind of weight will they support as if someone fell into them. elderly

A:

oooh, I wouldn’t trust it with much weight, and especially if you put it at the top of the stairs.

Q:Would this work on one side that is wood and the other that is wall?

A:

I used this at the top of our stairs, one side was drywall and the other side was the wood banister. As long as the side with the wood is sturdy and wide enough, it should be fine.

Q:What is the minimum width and the maximum width required got this gate?

A:

I have it on a regular interior doorway (30″). You can contact the manufacturer and ask them – I’ve had excellent customer service from them.

Q:What is the width of the human walk through? Thank you

A:

A typical interior door is 30 inches wide, so a few inches less.

Q:My base boards are 3.5 inches tall, will this gate work with that at the top of the stairs?

A:

If your base boards are flat, it shouldn’t be a problem
