Summer Infant Decorative Wood & Metal 5 Foot Pressure Mounted Gate, Brown/Black features
- Pressure mounted installation, for use between rooms and large openings
- 32-inch tall gate fits openings 36-60 inches wide
- Extra wide hinged swinging door opens in either direction
- Easy one-handed open and close operation
- Oak and slate metal finish
A:
The gate is 34 inches. It comes with 3 extensions. One is 10in, one is 7in and one is 4in. So using the gate, 10 in and 4 inch you will be good to go! Keep the 7 in just incase you move or want to move the gate. Anyway, it looks great, easy to install.
Q:How wide is the walk through gate?
A:
26 inches and we love it
Q:How wide are the gaps between the bars? ( I would like to prevent my pets from running through)
A:
About 3 inches… Should work. 
Q:Can you open and close it easily with just one hand? Do find the opening wide enough to walk through or do you have to walk in sideways?
A:
The door opens very easily with one hand. The opening is VERY wide and can easily be walked through normally. I especially like that the door swings both ways, which makes it easier to walk through in both directions.
Q:I read that the gate will automatically shut. Is it possible that it be left open? I have a cat that needs to go thru when baby is sleeping.
A:
Gate doesn’t automatically shut. You need to shut it yourself. Stays open if u like and I have 2 cats and they fit right between bars.
Q:I need something to fit a 64 inch width. Will the pressure mounters expand enough (2 inches on each side of gate) to fill the 64 inch gap?
A:
I don’t think it will although I have not tried it. My guess is that the 60″ wide that the gate is supposed to fill includes the 2 inches on each side to press the whole thing together enough for the gate to close. That said, you can always see if you can get an additional extension piece from Summer (if they offer it an support it as a viable solution). Also you can also consider putting a couple of 2×4′s on either side of it, but that will likely mean nailing the wood into the walls to prevent the gate from falling down.
Q:Can I add the extensions to one side or another so the gate opening won’t be in the center?
A:
Yes
Q:What are the widths of the extensions included in purchase?
A:
7″ and 4″
Q:If the pressure stoppers are not connected yet, should the gate and the side still latch together?
A:
NO THEY WONT UNTIL IT IS INSTALLED AND SECURED
Q:How tall are just the metal sides? I need this to fit in a space with a height limit of 30″.
A:
The metal sides are 30″ tall
A:
The unit comes with ‘screws’ that push out against the wall to hold it in place… if you tighten the screws really good, it may provide the security you need. Conceivably, you can find hardware that will add security, but it may take a little searching. Overall, it is a good product and please note that it ships slightly open by design so that you can tighten it against the walls and as you turn the ‘screws’, the unit closes up with fair tension. Merry Christmas! “Unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulders and His Name will be called…

Q:Can this gate be moved easily from doorway, to doorway? I’m thinking of buying two that could be moved easily depending on where we are in the house.
A:
I think it’s possible but I don’t think it will be an easy task. It is a heavy and sturdy gate so it’s not as easy to move it from place to place on a regular basis. We use it in the archway that separates our kitchen and family room. The space is a good 5-6 feet across and the gate stays up all the time. I could not imagine moving it from place to place regularly…It can be done with two people but its not that kind of gate. Hope this makes sense.
Q:How does the gate actually latch when it is closed? I have a dog that has figured out how to open another type of gate that you have to lift to open.
A:
On the top of the gate you need to pull the latch back and use your other hand to lift the gate up and over. The fog will not be able to open this one. I really like the gate. It’s sturdy, once assembled I haven’t had to to a thing. It’s up and I use the gate to go in and out of the room. I found the directions a little tricky.
Q:Is it possible to buy additional extensions for the gate?
A:
I have never received an answer to this question. I sent an email to the company but they have not responded.
Q:My doorway is exactly 36″, maybe about 35-7/8″ – will this still fit?
A:
It would be a tight fit. I measured the gate (without the extensions) and it is exactly 34″. The screws add another inch and a half. You would have little room to tighten it, but it might work. Amazon is great with returns – you could try it and see. I do love this gate, and it’s very sturdy.
Q:my doorway is exactly 60 inches. Will this really fit? im afraid to order and it be a half inch too small or something!
A:
My doorway is 60 inches and it fits snug.
Q:Is this gate suitable for outdoor use?
A:
no, damage to the wood finish and definite concerns about rust
Q:opinions as a pet gate?
A:
Its great and looks good. At first though we tended to trip on it but now we have gotten used to it.
Q:How wide is the walk thru door?
A:
It’s close to 27 inches wide. We walk through it carrying clothes baskets with room to spare. Also know that it opens out as well as in. Hope this helps.
Q:will this gate fit a 47 inch opening?
A:
Yes – the one that states it fits 36″- 60″ wide will, I have one and it fits 45″ doorway. Received 3 extensions for it – 4″, 7″ and a 10″. And the knobs that support the gate against the doorway also expand if needed.
A:
Yes they do! Sounds like you are missing pieces for sure.
Q:Can I use this at the bottom of the stairs?
A:
I would think so. As long as there is a wall on each side to pressure mount it, I would think so. It opens in either direction
Q:Can this gate be used at the top of the stairs?
A:
AND the bar across the bottom could be tripped on. I don’t recommend it for protection for babies on stairs though.
Q:does the pressure mount feel very sturdy, and does it damage the wall?
A:
Feels sturdy, haven’t had any issues with it wobbling or moving at all. You just need to make sure you have it on even and tight. I also haven’t noticed any damage to the walls but that may also depend on the quality and type of paint you have on the walls.
Q:I have an opening that is ~47 inches, will this work and reman sturdy?
A:
Our opening is exactly 47 inches wide and this gate works great! We use it for our two retrievers when we’re gone and can’t leave them outside.
Q:For a railing, the top nob might need to be extended further than the bottom on one side. Is that possible? Also, no screws in the wall, right?
A:
You adjust the knobs to fit the opening. Since most houses aren’t exactly square you might need to adjust some more than others. You don’t have to screw it into the wall unless it is at the top of the stairs.
Q:can I purchase a 10 inch extension for my summer gate?
A:
The gate comes with extensions that will make a total of 60″ wide, and I am not aware of any additional extensions that you can buy.
Q:Does the pressure mounting screws come all the way out? I’m looking at buying a “Y” banister adapter but I don’t like the gates from the other company
A:
All four screw can be removed from the tubing. I am not sure what you mean about the “Y” banister adapter. By the way, we like the gate and would buy it again.
Q:Will the gate stay open when you want it to?
A:
Mine stays open If I leave it open.
Q:how wide is the opening?
A:
the gate is 34 in wide
A:
You can put it wherever you want, it has these dials in the side that you use to adjust to distance so you should be able to do it. There is a bar that goes across the bottom of the gate (kind of like a little lip), so depending on what you’re using the gate for, that bar combined with the baseboard might make you step over it more.
Q:Do you think my cocker spaniel (15 lbs) could jump over this.
A:
I am not sure. My dog started by climbing it. She got her front paws on the top and pulled herself over it. Then when she got bigger, she started jumping it. I think it’s all in your dog’s view of things honestly. I have a boxer, she’s determined. I even put a scat mat on top of it and she pulled it down and then jumped it…
Q:How much length from the end of the latch side to the wall? I have a 55″ space i need to put it in but only 31″ is open
A:
You have to have 31 3/4″ to be able to swing the gate both ways if you put the extensions all on the other side.
Q:This came without instructions. Does anyone have instructions they can post? Especially about how to get it adjusted to fit the door opening. Thanks!
A:
The iron bars come off in pairs. Final adjustments are made with turning the knobs using the wrench.
Q:Will this fit in a doorway slightly bigger than 60″ ? As in about 60 1/2 “?
A:
I believe it will, but it may not be tight enough to be secure.
Q:Does it come in a lighter color: white or off white?
A:
Hello,
no.
Q:did anyone have problems with baseboards?
A:
No, we have 5″ baseboards and we put this gate above the baseboards. Works great, love this gate!
Q:It says the gate itself is 34″ and if i use all panels (10″ 7″ 4″) it’ll be 55″ wide, if this is the case it won’t fit my baseboard opening 53.5″?
A:
You don’t have to use all of the panels, just use the ones you need to fit your opening.
Q:I have a 53.5″ opening from the baseboard and 56″ from the wall. Do you think the gate would fit using all the extension
A:
I have the gate set up in a 59″ archway and had no problem fitting it in.
Q:Are there additional extenders that can be purchased for this model?
A:
Thanks, for your inquiry, but no there are no extenders available for this item.
Fred
A:
You’ll need to extend the pieces on the ends for a perfect 60″ fit. All in all it doesn’t look awful, but it sure would be nice for a perfect fit!
Q:Will it fit appropriately in an exactly 60 inch space?
A:
yes, we have it at the top of our stairs. The best part is that we don’t have to leave it up when the grandchildren aren’t here. Our dogs have no interest in going downstairs so it has worked great for us.
Q:I need this gate to fit a 57″ space. Will it fit or do I have to purchase extensions separately?
A:
Mine came with the extensions.
Q:Can I use this outside on my deck?
A:
The door on this gate is made of wood. I would think that if it is exposed to the elements for an extended period of time, the finish on the wood would wear off and it could get moldy, etc.
Q:What is the minimum opening width that this gate will accommodate?
A:
3ft. Fits openings 36″ to 60″ wide
Q:Regarding the pieces on the sides that screw-adjust to tension it in place (not sure what to call them!), what is the maximum that they extend to?
A:
About 4″ to 5″ on each side. When you put it together, you see the length of the bolt and threads.
Q:Can you use more extentions, I need another 7″.
A:
I wouldn’t know really. I suggest you call the company. I did and they where very helpful in my request. I’m very satisfied with the product though. Good luck
Q:Our hallway is 46 inches and wondering if this will fit as the dimensions of the extensions are not documented.
A:
Ours spans a 46.5″ cased opening beautifully.
Q:I was going to get 2. One for hallway 36.5″ and one for doorway 50.75″ will it fit? Thanks
A:
it should fit, there are a few removable extensions and then with the tension ‘pins’ you should be able to make it work. we have another gate, also summer infant that we were able to make work in an odd spot, by not using one of the tension pins and using a plastic zip tie that you can get at any home depot/lowes type of store. overall a great gate, functional and looks good
Q:can it be screwed into wall or just pressure mounted???
A:
I believe just pressure mounted. But fir someone who knows what they are doing it probably could be rigged. Pressure mount while doesn’t mar the wall it is abut more difficult to close the gate. Not sure they can honestly say it is one handed open and close. Open yes closing it is harder bc you have to lift up the gate and line it up with the pressure bar at the base. All in all I have only had the gate a month and am very happy with it.
A:
My doorway is 59″ and I have it tightened on the sides about an inch or two. This gate has 2 extensions already welded. I measured to 43″ and it comes up to 1/2 on the 1st weld so I’m thinking it would be to big, sorry.
Q:Who is the manufacturer?
A:
Summer Infant
Q:What is the length of the threaded pressure fittings on the end? I need to fit a frame size of 51″ on the bottom and 52.5″ on top
A:
Our opening is similar. Threaded rods are at least 3″, but I am not home to measure!
Q:Will this fit a 52 inch opening?
A:
I think it will. I had it in a doorway that was 59in. Now I have it in my stairway that is 37 1/2 inches. There are 3 extensions that come off/ apart.
Q:How tall are the sides and what is the width of the pressure mount cups/adapters?
A:
the sides are 30″ and the pressure pad that rests on the wall is @1.75 in in diamter. the screw mechanism that allows you ro adjust the width is extended about 1″ out from the end of the metal gate. I don’t know how long it is entirely. we have been very please with this gate. It spanned a large opening into our family room. the mounting is stable to both kids and dogs
Q:I have two room opening to gate: 40 and 53 in. Will this gate work? And what is the finish on it?
A:
It says it will fit up to 60 inches wide by adding the metal bar pairs and then adjusting with the fine tuning adjusters. The finish is a nice wood stain just as pictured. Nice quality.
