Durable Steel and Wood Gate is Easy to Close

For the ultimate in strength, the gate is designed with a strong U-shaped frame made from durable steel. The dark silver frame pairs with natural dark wood for an ideal look for your stylish home. The double-locking handle keeps your child safe and secure while allowing adults to easily open the gate. Its handy door swings shut with a firm push so it’s also easy to close securely.

Swings Open in Both Directions for Convenience

For convenience, the gate swings open in both directions. You can also choose to use an optional third lock at the base of the gate to control the direction that the gate opens. It allows you to set the door to open in either direction or locks both ways to prevent it from opening at all. This feature adds another safety measure for places like the top of the stairs.

Adjustable Fit for Use Anywhere in Your Home

At 29-1/2 inches in height, the dark wood gate is ideal for keeping children or small pets safe. With the use of the three included 2-3/4-inch extensions, the gate accommodates openings from 29-1/2 to 40-1/2 inches wide for a custom fit virtually anywhere in your house. It can also extend up to 54 inches wide with the addition of 5-1/2-inch and 11-inch extensions, which are available separately. With the use of mounted wall cups for added stability, the gate can be used at the top of a staircase, in a door jam, or in a hallway.

A must-have for parents with busy lifestyles, the door is 21-1/2 inches wide for an extra-wide walkthrough space.

Pressure-Mount System for Easy Installation

The dark wood and steel gate installs with a pressure-mount system to walls for a tight, secure fit. This design reduces damage to walls yet provides a firm, stable seal and makes it easy to install or remove the gate. Both the steel and dark wood wipe down with a damp cloth, so cleanup is fast.

Munchkin®

A:

There are 4 individual adjustment bolts, one at each corner of the gate. Each bolt has 3″-4″ of travel or ‘play’, so you should be able to use it with an opening of varying width.

Q:how is wide

A:

The gate that opens in either direction is 22 inches wide. I’m assuming that’s what you wanted to know. The width of the whole unit is adjustable.

Q:Can this be pressure mounted only, meaning not drilling the cups it comes with into the wall?

A:

Yes…no problem with it staying in place and it is secure.

Q:Is there a bar at the bottom that could be tripped over?

A:

yes

Q:Will this work in a hallway opening that is 30″ wide at the bottom (due to baseboards) and 31″ wide at the top?

A:

Yes, we had the same issue at bottom of stairs. And at the top where we attached it to newel posts. There are bolts that allow for adjustment. The ends of the adjustment caps sit in a cup that is screwed into wall, baseboard etc.

Q:How wide is this gate? I have a 41” opening at bottom of the stairs

A:

Details say for up to 40.5 inches, but extensions can be added. I do like the gate. Opens easily both ways and closes easily with the latch.

Q:Could this gate be used outside?

A:

No, I can’t see it being for outside use. The wooden parts aren’t treated. We use it at the bottom of our stairs to the second floor so our grandchild can’t climb up unattended.

Q:Where can you get the 5-1/2-inch and 11-inch extensions to allow this to fit a larger opening?

A:

On their website….it is the only place I could find extensions.

http://store.munchkin.com/product/11″-standard-extension—dark-silver

Q:Also, when you first open the box, does the gate look like its worped…the lock does not meet the gate? thanks

A:

Yes, I think a lot of people have this observation. It is designed this way. It lines up as you tighten the bolts on either side.

Q:Can you leave this gate open?

A:

Yes. To close it you have to pull it shut.

A:

black metal and wood

Q:I have the gate but need replacement pegs to the wall. How can I order those?

A:

You can order kits off amazon. My husband said they were super easy to install

Q:Can this gate be used for the top and bottom of staicase? 34 and 32 inch wide? Thank you

A:

Yes. If you don’t want to damage the banister wood you would need to purchase a special top of stair banister kit. I think it’s from kidco. Also sold on amazon. Works great.

Q:Is this dark wood and SILVER colored or Red Wood and Black as in the photo?

A:

The door is made to look like mahogany color. The frame is called a dark silver, I would describe it as a dark gun metal, it is not shiny. End caps are soft black. It really is a very nice gate. I bought one for when the grand kids come. I didn’t want to hassle with the ones they had when my kids were young. I also wanted something nicer looking as I had just redecorated my condo with wood floors. My daughter and son liked mine so much that they got rid of theirs and bought ones like mine for their kids. I hope that helps, I would highly recommend. Installation was easy and when I took it…

Q:I want to place this inbetween our screendoor and front door, does the wood have any kind of weather sealant or is this a really bad idea?

A:

I think it will be fine. The wood is shiny like it has a protection to it. This gate is sturdy and beautiful. Looks great and blends in with any room. WAY better than the plastic ones. After I put one up, I ordered several more for all my rooms.

Q:what is the spacing between the bars?

A:

About 3 inches between bars.

Q:The discription says wood and siver but all pictures and comments discuss black or grey metal. I want wood and black or grey. Can you confirm the metal color on this stock number?

A:

Hi Sue, I have 3 of these gates and am really pleased with them. The metal is NOT silver, it is indeed as you thought, a dark grey nearly black.

Q:how high is the gate?

A:

30″ – 2.5 ft

Q:I am looking for the Munchkin Loft Dark Wood Safety Gate. The picture for this product looks black and red? What is the actual color of this product?

A:

the gate is more the color of a cherry wood finish. some are slightly darker than others.

Q:Is it easy to open

A:

For an adult yes.

A:

I don’t think so. I found that this gate opens and shuts a lot easier than many these days. All that is required is a somewhat firm squeeze and a downward push to open the latch. I would guess a six year old can do it easily.

Q:How wide are the openings between the slats? I have a very small dog

A:

2-1/4 inches between the wooden pieces and 2-3/8 between the wood and metal. We have cats and they definitely cannot fit between the slats.

Q:Do the three 2-3/4″ extensions make the gate extend up to 40.5″ or do the extensions add a potential 8.75″?

A:

You reach a width of 40.5 when using the included 3 extensions.

Q:The gate says pressure mount woth hardware. Does it have both options? The product details are not clear enough. Is it safe for top of stairs?

A:

At the top of the stairs is where I have mine. It’s very sturdy you also have a tab / lock at the bottom of the gate. not sure what you mean by both options except there are plastic caps you can either screw into the wall or double side foam tape you can use when you mount it. I used the tape.

Q:the picture shows black and wood gate but description says silver. What color are the metal bars of the gate?

A:

Dark silver and the wood is a deeper color than the picture displays

Q:Can the support be screwed to the wall?

A:

We use the tension to secure to doorways. I think it might have came with something to screwed to the wall, but I am not sure we bought our gates over 2yrs ago and I can’t remember. I know using the tension mount we have not had any problems. We have had dogs jump on it,kids lean and push and people kick them and they hold strong!

A:

No, you screw it into the wall on the end pieces, top and bottom, both sides. I haven’t had any trouble with the screws coming loose from the wall.

Q:Is this an indoor/outdoor gate or just to be used indoors?

A:

I am not sure what it was intended for but we are using it outside and so far it is holding up really well. We live in WA so it is fairly rainy at times. I actually want to buy another for the other side of the deck because this one works so well.

Q:Do you have extentions for this gate? I have an 82 inch opening.

A:

Contrary to what most believe, there is an extension option. Since I found out the 72″ was not quite enough to go around my back door that swings outward, instead of returning the Supergate that I bought at a discounted open box item, I did some research and took a chance with the 2 panel extension for the ‘Superyard’. I used a phillips screw driver to take out the plastic end pieces of one of the panel from the extension and switched them around to make it connect between the gate panel and the 18″ short panel…volla! Works perfectly! I will add a picture of the finish product…

Q:How would I mount this gate in a hallway opening with baseboards at the bottom and straight to wall at the top?

A:

With baseboards, you just use the bracket as a guide, trace around the bracket with a pencil onto the baseboard and cut a notch out of the baseboard so that the bracket sits flush against the wall. This ended up being pretty easy to do.

Q:How difficult is it to open? Ideally, I want to allow my 8-yr-old to open it but keep a puppy behind it.

A:

I think an 8 year old would be able to open it. There is a button on top that you press while you lift and open the gate. My five year old doesn’t have the strength yet to press the button, but she understands the concept. You won’t have to worry about your pet figuring it out.

Q:What is the length of each peice of the gate?

A:

The sides are approx. 16″ and the main segment is approx. 36″

Q:Do the hinges adjust a full 90 degrees? In the photos it only shows the gate at a slight angle, I literally need this gate to adjust to an “L” shape. Thanks

A:

yes, I have my gate at a 90 degree angle. only thing is that you might want to anchor the gate into the floor with this angle, as it will make it not as steady with this angle.

Q:can you buy extensions for this…I need for up to 118 inches

A:

Nancy, if you haven’t already, check out the wider version of this.. the North States Superyard 3 in 1.. its 144″ and you can remove panels to be closer to 118″.. we just got it.. its fantastic.

Q:I have a 68″ opening, will this gate fit straight across without bowing?

A:

I currently have this gate in a 60″ door way , And have been very happy with it. it curves out a bit because of its adjustable hinges. The hinges on either side of the gate opening, allows you to loosen and tighten, for bending the gate whichever way you need it to go. Since the gate is 71″ wide it will bend out or in on a 68″ doorway. Won’t be exactly straight. But it is made for this. I hope this makes sense..

Q:How many inches is it between the slats? I need it for my dog which is a 5lb yorkie. Thank you

A:

It is about 2″ so should be perfect don’t see any breaking out unless you leave the gate open.

A:

No, it would not. You need a solid surface to anchor this gate. It is not a portable gate to move to different locations.

Q:Is it possible to install such that the opening isn’t in the center of the width of the gate? I have a porch with stairs on one side, not centered.

A:

Actually no. There are joints on either side of the door that allows you to arc the whole system but not move the door.

Q:If the gate is installed in a 60″ opening does it have to bow out in order to fit across the opening?

A:

Yes, it has to bow. There is no way to shorten it other than to have it bent at the joints. If the area around where you are going to use it is tight I suggest looking into a different gate.

Q:Can I install the mounting brackets about 4″ off the floor to avoid the base boards?

A:

You could do that. We chose not to mount it above the base boards so our daughter wouldn’t be able to try to get under the gate. We mounted it to the base boards but had to add a small piece of molding to the wall for the top brackets since we mounted to the base boards.

Q:Would love to hear opinions on using this gate for a 60 1/2″ opening to keep a Rottweiler from the windows in the front of our house???

A:

I LOVE this gate. Granted, our dog is only 8 pounds but this is a very nice looking gate, it is very sturdy and screws into a wall or doorway so it looks like part of your home instead of a temporary solution. It does keep my 2 year old grandson out of our dogs area very well. If closed properly, it cannot be opened by a pet or child. It takes one strong hand or 2 hands to open it. I have been very pleased with it.

Q:how do you get this gate OPENED? we had one day where it was pretty easy to open the door area with pressing on the button- now we can’t at ALL! HELP!

A:

While it is a bit tricky, the key to it is that you have to not only press the button, but LIFT it up. Let me know…its a great gate, I love it

Q:I have a 72″ opening- I want a gate to go straight across not zigzag- will this work ? Thanks.

A:

yes it will but honestly having it go straight I find that it is not as strong and moves quite a lot . It works much better with the sides bent for stability.

Q:can this gate be installed straight across with no curve?

A:

Yes it can be installed straight across.. It has adjustable bars to hold it in any position including straight.

Q:What is the color of this gate.Is it Brown or Expresso

A:

Hi there. It is a deep Bronze color, so dark brown, almost black is what you’d call it. I was worried at first, because all of my previous gates were white, but it looks quite nice. Beware that depending on the opening, it will actually bow out like a Bay window does. That’s what happened to my space. There’s no way to make it any smaller from the size it is. I actually like the way it looks, though, and where we have it, it doesn’t get in the way of anything.

Q:How wide is the opening to walk through the gate??

A:

The opening to walk through is about 24″

A:

No you cant. we drilled through our baseboards, we have wood putty on hand for when we decide to take it down to fill in the holes. my boyfriend made 1/4 inch thick pieces to fit on the top brackets to drill them to the wall so it would all be flush. works great. It only took him less than 10 minutes to make the pieces, and since they are sanded down they are the same shape as the brackets, so it all looks nice as well.

Q:Exactly how long is this gate? The descriptions says 71″, but one of the answers mentioned 9 ft?

A:

71″ is correct. It folds at an angle t two points so it can cover a smaller space. I am spanning 56″

Q:Would this gate work to block off a fireplace? Are the wall mounting points adjustable, or do the sides need to come out at a particular angle?

A:

Yes, you could use this block off a fireplace. The mounting points are not really that adjustable. A mounting template comes with gate and those are pretty much set. However, the sides are adjustable to an angle on either side. So, you can leave it straight if you want to, you could have one side an angle and the other straight or you could set it up so both sides are at angle. There are number of possible configurations

Q:My opening is 2 corner walls. Will this mount correctly?

A:

Sure, as long as you have secure place to screw into.

Q:Is this a good gate for a small dog, such as a yorkie?

A:

My 10 and 12 pound cats couldn’t slip through it. (They could jump it, but I don’t think a Yorkie could)

Q:How much angle can the side panels be installed out, meaning: can the gate be positioned around a bottom step?

A:

The gate has brackets that have to be fastened into the wall. So as long as there is a flat surface for the brackets to mount to it should work at the bottom of a stairs. The side panels pivot where they are attached to the actual gate. So it depends on the width of your stair opening that will determine how much room you will have between the bottom stair tread and the gate. I hope that makes sense?

Q:With being able to adjust the hinges at different angles, can I mount hardware on walls facing the same direction (west) and attach gate north/south?

A:

Hinges fully rotate-should not be a problem. Very pleased with our purchase.

Q:What are the dimensions of the packaging?

A:

Aprox 27x32x6 Gate is in 3 main pieces.

Q:will this gate be able to form a 90 degree or two 45 degree angles to go around a pellet stove?

A:

Yes you can angle it with 90 degree angles in a U shape as long as you secure it with the included screws. If you leave it unattached though it won’t stand on its own very safely. It will be a little top heavy. Also, there are some plastic parts to it in the joints and the latch so I don’t know how well it would withstand the heat of a pellet stove.

Q:I have a dog that likes to chew on any gate we put up. Are the plastic connectors hard enough to withstand chewing?

A:

I have 2 teething retriever pups myself and they have gotten to them a few times when not being watched. They seem to be holding up pretty well so far. They are made of pretty dense plastic and have only sustained superficial damage (scratches and a deep gouge or 2). The gate itself is sturdy and solid metal, lightweight but durable. So far its holding up well. Hope this has helped.

A:

It will need to be screwed in to the wall. I know it is not as simple, but is doable.

Q:Can I use a 2-by-4 to add an inch or so? My opening is exactly 72″ and from the sound of it, I’ll need the slight adjustment….

A:

Yes you can; I used a 1 by 2 on each side and it works perfect.

Q:Are the hinges made of metal or plastic? What kind of warranty does it have?

A:

Plastic hinges, black and they look very nice. No idea on warranty

Q:is everything on this gate metal? including locking mechanism and mounting brackets? my dogs chewed the resin compound panel connectors and bracket

A:

All is metal except the brackets that attach it to the wall. We have the brackets on the side the dogs don’t get to. So far we love it other than the locking release very hard to push.

Q:Are there replacement brackets for sale somewhere since mine broke?

A:

Go to: http://northstatesind.com/
, copy and paste this link; scroll down to order replacement parts and find the part you need.

Q:Will it fit an opening that is only 45 inches wide?

A:

yes
it will be a bit like a bay window – the gate part being slightly forward

Q:does this gate have an accressory that can attach it to stair spindles?

A:

There was not a specific accessory to do that.

Q:How many inches between slats??

A:

Not sure. I am at work but can measure when I get home. Just guessing I would say 4″.

Q:What are the shipping dimensions of the box?

A:

I don’t recall exactly, it wasn’t much bigger than the gate, which sits about 40″x36″ folded.

Q:How wide is the gate door?

A:

Its about 25 inches wide

A:

Yes I believe it could be, you only need about 1 1/2-2 inches to mount the pin hinge. This is a very nice gate with the easy complete removal feature. It works great for us

Q:Can it be mounted a couple of inches off (above) the floor? Hoping to find out if the two sides are mounted firmly that the gate is sturdy enough.

A:

It’s pretty solid. I believe it would hold up well.

Q:Does this gate swing shut and latch…or do you have to pick up on it to get it to close???

A:

It latches when closed. And yes you must pick up a little to open the gate. Overall this is a high quality product and very well built. Cosmetics are excellent too. Install took 25 minutes.

Q:Anyone know why the gate does not close automatically anymore?

A:

No

Q:How important is it to make sure the gate is installed flush with the floor ?

A:

our floors aren’t perfectly level & we don’t have any issues w/our gate.

Q:What is the distance between bars? I want to use with a small dog.

A:

The are are about 3 inches apart. I’ve got a 9 week pup and there’s no way he could ever fit

Q:We have a 45 inch opening. Is this gate too big for it? I know it states that it will work, but not sure how it would look.

A:

I use this gate in front of french doors that are 60″ opening and it has to angle out on the sides to fit. I think this would be too big for your 45″ opening.

Q:How do the mounts work against base boards?

A:

This is a question we should have asked and therefor did not mount it to our base board, only up on the top brackets. Still very secure.

Q:could this gate fit around a fireplace?

A:

yes, it would be perfect

Q:How wide are the mounting brackets? I have to attach one side to our kitchen cabinets.

A:

The mounting hardware is about 1 1/2″ wide and about 3″ long. Gate is made very well.

A:

Our molding is very small so we positioned the gate above it. My husband suggested if the molding is taller, get a small piece of wood the same thickness as your molding to put between the top screw and the wall.

Q:my door way is only 59″ wide will it fit this doorway

A:

Yes is should The sides bend all the way in so the min is really the center gate portion which is in the 38 inch range or so. I think the hall I have it in is probably like 48 inches or so

Q:hi can you tell me what the measurement of the gap is between the bars?

A:

about 2inches my small dogs can’t get through pugs

Q:How wide is the gate?

A:

I have it between my livingroom and dining room and that opening is 63 inches wide. The gate extends another 4 inches on either side where it is attached to the wall. I used industrial double sided Velcro as I did not want to put holes in my walls. It’s worked great!

Q:Will this fit a 52″ opening?

A:

Yes.

Q:Where can i buy a second set of hardware?

A:

If you are buying this to replace the narrow gate with the wider one it comes with mounting hardware so you will have 2 sets if you want to mount the narrow gate and some panels in another location.

Q:Can this be mounted in a hallway with baseboards, ie. are the top and bottom mounting plates adjustable?

A:

They are not adjustable, we have the rubber type baseboards at church and I had to cut part of the baseboard out to make it fit. You could probably make a shim for the top mounting plate.

Q:Would this gate fit a 57″ space?

A:

Yes, it bows on either side of the gate opening so it will fit with a curve in it.

Q:what is the spacing from bar to bar? Can a puppy fit through?

A:

No the spacing is 2-21/2 inches apart

Q:How does the gate attach to the wall? Do I have to use screws?

A:

I used them outside so I zip tied them to columns. They are at my Florida home so I can’t look but my guess is that yes there are screws to attach to walls. I will say the lock was very difficult to use. Pretty much had to have two hands to push the button down to unlock it. And even then, it was very difficult to push down.

A:

No just this gate. It is 71 inches long and hanging bracket is the other inch to make 72.
This gate I s very nice and sturdy. Looks nice also.

Q:why does shipping take so long

A:

Depends on who you purchase it through. We normally can ship this in 2 days but we always allow for an extra day or two as a precaution.

Q:Can this be used at the top of the stairs?

A:

I imagine it could. Two caveats though. First, to open the door, you have to press down on a button located on the top of the railing. That may be awkward if you are coming up the stairs and you have to pull upward a bit. Guess that’s a saftey feature for small children. Also, you have to screw it into the wall on both sides. This gate goes up to 72 inches I think. I did not want to screw holes in my wall, so I used industrial strength double sided velcro. It’s to keep my dogs out of the dining room. Love that door though! I hope I helped

Q:how wide is the gate?

A:

The gate is 6 feet wide.

Q:I actually want to use this gate as a containment area when we open our front door so doggy doesn’t slip out. My elderly mother keeps letting dog out

A:

Well then, you have found the right product

Q:From the pictures of the product, it looks like the bottom mounts are a few inches up. Does anyone know if the baseboard problem been fixed?

A:

I bought mine this year and it has the “baseboard problem”. Pretty sure they have not changed the design yet.

Q:I want to put this outside on our front porch at the top of the stairs. The opening is 48″ and it can’t bow out more than 6″. possible?

A:

You can have it bow out onto the porch and it will still look nice. I have mine on our porch also and I have it turned in so it bows inwards and it looks awesome.

Q:do you ship to australia

A:

Julie – No – we only ship within the US. Bill

Q:Is this a tension mounted gate and if so does it stay in place securely?

A:

It is not tension mount. It is mounted to the wall with screws. It will stay secure with screws. I also have a tension mounted gate as well and it does stay pretty securely in place.

Q:Can this gate be used outside? Or will it not hold up to outdoor weather?

A:

I am. It positive that it can be used outdoors or not. I would have to look at the material it is made from to see if it would withstand the elements. However if you only need it when you are outside, it can be easily completely taken down and stored inside. We have taken ours down when moving furniture around or having a Birthday party. Hope this helps. It is not a permanent fixture, which makes it nice.

Q:I need an extension panel because my opening is 89 inches wide. Is there an extension for this gate?

A:

None that I know of. It would lose its strength as it is built if there were.

Q:For anyone who has used this outdoors, can you tell me if it is holding up OK to the weather? I live in Virginia. Thanks!!

A:

Sorry only use it indoors it appears like it would work outdoors but who knows if we have another north east winter like this one. We love it, works perfectly and very easy to open with one hand.

Q:how heavy is this? i am using to keep 2 dogs seperated.

A:

It’s not super heavy, but strong enough to keep 2 dogs apart. My husky did learn to jump it, though, so it would depend on the size of your dog.

Q:do you need drywall anchors

A:

We didn’t use any, and it doesn’t seem to cause an issue. But it wouldn’t hurt to use them, if you want it make sure it’s secure.

Q:Is 30 inches the highest part of the gate? I am looking to put in between two desks that have a counter hanging over the sides and only have 29 1/2 in

A:

Just measured to be sure…..the arch is 31″ from floor to top. Hope this helps.

Q:is there any form of extensions? I am looking for a nicer looking gate but all seem to be smaller than 72″?

A:

Hi Michael-I’m in the same boat as my opening is 84″. This one is 84″ wide X 31″ high at $124.95 and you can purchase extensions. Little pricey for me though.

Q:Is the expresso black or brown. I cannot tell.

A:

I would have to say that it is more of a black, but there is a brown hue to it. I hope that helps. (more black than brown)

Q:We have an opening that has a slight angle. Will this adjust to that opening, or does it need to be set up straight?

A:

As long as the gate can clear the angle it should be good.

Q:Is a drill required for installation? Does it leave a lot of holes in the wall after uninstalling?

A:

You will need to drill this in to the wall. 2 mount points per spot, 4 spots total. But you can remove the gate from the mount points and reattach it later. Holes are super easy to fix.

A:

Yes! Absolutely. We didn’t cut out anything. All you need is 2 chunks of moulding wood (3-inch by 1/2 thick), to install the TOP two hinges. (Hardware store. Super easy.) The bottom ones will screw directly into your baseboards, so all you need for the top ones is to find something of equal width to compensate. It took us less than 10 mins. (And your mouldings are safe – too high to matter.) Good luck!

Q:Is this product compatible with the 3-in-1 arched decor extra wide gate? We are interested in the possibility to connect the two.

A:

Do not know. I purchased item for a customer who chose another solution. The item was returned without being used.

Q:How big is each section of the gate? Trying to figure out if it will turn to fit the bottom of our stairs

A:

I’m sorry I don’t have that answer. I installed the gate in Arkansas and I live in California. The two side sections pivot so the whole thing can go from a hose shoe shape out to it’s maximum width. They can go from a 90 degree angle from the gate itself to almost straight across. Once in place the pivot points lock so they won’t move. I hope that helps.

Q:How is this for outside use?

A:

It is not designed for outdoor use, so it’s hard to say how it would be. It’s very sturdy, but I can’t guess how it would hold up to weather. You might try to contact the manufacturer.

Q:Our door opening is 48″ but we can’t have a gate that bows out into the room. Is there a way/option to make this gate work?

A:

You can install the gate to open either way. It has screws on both sides so you decide which way it opens when you install it.

Q:Does this gate come with pressure mounts? If not, can they be purchased separately?

A:

I bought the gate and it did not have pressure mounts. It is screwed into the wall. It does not look bad. Has a nice looking wall plate. I absolutely love this gate!

Q:Can the wall mounts be attached with adhesive rather than screws?

A:

Hard to say. If it were my child, I would say no. He is so strong he would probably be able to break it down with ease. This is a strong gate, don’t get me wrong, but he can shake it with ease.

Q:Can the upper/lower mounting brackets be adjusted due to base boards/wood molding? Thanks, Danny

A:

There is no adjustment for that, but if you are relatively handy it would mean 15 minutes with hacksaw, screwdriver and super glue.

Q:The entry into the den is 69 3/4″. The left/right sides have 2 3/4″ base board with quarter round molding. How will the lower screw mounts be installed ?

A:

The only thing i can think of is since they are on pegs could you screw the brackets into the inside of the door frame? I use mine outside on my deck. I can say its the best gate ever! I bought two different gates, one for each side. I can’t wait until I need to replace the other gate, I’ll be getting another one of these. If you can make it work it’s worth it.

Q:extension

A:

The gate is as wide as it is. However, it can angle out at both joints to fill a varied space.

A:

Q:If you remove the 2 side pieces that go on each side of the center door panel, can that panel sit on the posts that are mounted for smaller doorways?

A:

Q:Does this close automatically?

A:

Q:Can I install it to attach to 2 perpendicular walls?

A:

Q:Can you use just one panel and the gate if you have a smaller opening to block?

A:

Q:Can this gate be pressure mounted?

A:

Q:Will this work in a 4′-6″ opening, and will the door be positioned in the center?

A:

Q:Does this product have extentions available for purchase?

A:

Q:We have a 60 pound energetic labrador. Will the bowed area of the fence prove to be too weak or wobbly and eventually fail with a dog jumping on it?

A:

Q:can I buy an extension?

A:

A:

It’s possible. It would depend on how wide the stove is, and how close the walls are to the stove. The gate itself is very flexible, so it’d just be a matter of whether the walls are close enough to each other to accommodate the gate. I’d measure carefully before purchasing.

Q:Can this gate be used as an extension to the North States 3 in 1 Arched Decor Metal Superyard?

A:

Great Product.

Q:Are there any extensions that can be purchased? Our opening is about 92″, but I love the look of this gate!

A:

Love this gate! We did not need extensions and I didn’t see anywhere you could purchase them.

Q:If you’d like to remove the gate temporarily, can you remove or lift it off the mounts?

A:

The mounts will stay on the wall, but you can move the gate off from them or just one side and swing it out of the way. North States has a good video on their website on how it works. http://www.northstatesind.com/index.cfm/event/video/id/167/catid/6

Q:How exactly does the gate adjust lengths? Is it by the angle you put it at or is there a way to extend and shorten the gate? My opening is 47″

A:

It is by the angle of the gate at either mid joint you can adjust the angle. The larger part at the top at the mid points are the tighten and loosen to adjust angles. Note: the wall connectors are not adjustable so if you have floor molding you will need a spacer at the top to make it work. I did this with mine and it works wonderfully. Spacer is the thickness of the molding.

Q:How wide are the spaces between each rung?

A:

Hi Kalani, the average rung space is 2″ apart. There are two parts where it’s about a quarter inch larger, and a couple parts that are 1″. But most are 2″ apart.

Q:Does the gate door swing both ways?

A:

No, it does not

Q:If my door opening is 195cm wide can this gate secure on both the side wall ?

A:

I can’t really answer that because I never set it up in my house because it was to big.

Q:Does is come with the extensions? My stair way is 43″ across and it looks like I’d need one short and one long extension.

A:

It comes with extensions of several widths.

Q:Can the gate be set to stay open, or does it always have to swing close?

A:

It always closes

Q:Is the beige more of a white or is it a true beige?

A:

True beige… Almost light brown

• Optional hardware mounts included for installation on stairways
• 36-inch tall gate fits openings 28-48 inches wide

Hardware is included for extra secure mounting, or pressure mount for a secure installation that doesn’t leave marks on walls. Q:How wide is door? A: Fully open it is 17.5 inches Q:Can you leave the door open if desired? A: No. What I did was get bungie cords and use them to hold it open. Works perfect. Q:The gate is advertised as 36″ tall, but at what height are the upper mounting points? My banister is only 35″ tall. A: The upper mounting points are 33″ high. Q:How large are the wide openings at the bottom of the gate? I have cats and don’t want them to slip through. A: Some are 3″ x 3″ wide and some are 4″ wide by 3″ high. Probably enough for a small cat to at least get partway through. I would worry it could get stuck. Q:Do the mounting knobs adjust enough to account for baseboards? Our opening is an inch or two narrower at the bottom than the top. A: Yes i have a home that was built in 1911 and they worked just fine. just make sure they are even. on both sides, it helps with the gate function and stability Q:What is the width of the walk through gate itself (the opening the people walk through)? A: from latch to latch, mine is measuring 16 1/2 inches Q:Does it really take 4-6 months to get this thing in bronze??? If so no chance I’m ordering this no matter what reviews say. A: That must be something new, I got mine within a week. Q:Our hallway is 47 inches. Previous gate had extenders to extend width, but they failed with our 55 pound lab jumping on it. Opinions on the strength? A: I don’t think you will have a problem. It is very strong. We have a 41″ opening. Our 80lb lab and our 65lb Australian/German shepherd have not budged it. We have three of these gates and love them. Q:moulding A: I’m assuming you’re asking how it works with moulding? Or IF it works with moulding? It mounts to the wall with 4 tension screws/pads so- you can either place the gate above the moulding (and have a few inchesof space below the gate) or place on the moulding –depending on the type. We have an older house with non-uniform curved moulding so we chose to place it a bit higher on the wall with a couple inches of space below the gate. There’s an option of permanently mounting this to the wall as well. Q:What is the distance between the bars please? A: Between 1 & 1/2 inches to 2 & 1/2 inches. On both sides of the actual gate opening those areas are larger than the others.

• 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.
