A:
You will need a 3 1/2 ” extension for each side.
Q:can cats jump over this?
A:
In my situation, the gate is right next to a kitchen counter and I could definitely see a cat jumping on the counter and then jumping over the gate. They wouldn’t be able to jump/climb over the gate itself unless there’s something close by to help them…like a kitchen counter.
Q:what is the spacing between the bars?
A:
Hi Cee Cee, Sorry it took so long, I was at work when I got the message. The spacing between the bars of the gate are 2 1/2 inches. Where the gate meets the locking side you have about 3/4 inch (depends on how square your walls are). I used a larger insert for the sides, it has 3 bars, 2 inches where it meets the gate, then one inch for the middle bar and 2 inches for the third. I hope this helps. I bought 2 of these gates because I didn’t know how sturdy they were. I’m using it for 3 German Shepherds. It’s been almost a year and it’s as good as new! So, I didn’t need to buy a…

Q:Does this price include extensions or do I need to buy those separately?
A:
the price is not including the extensions, you see what you buy!
Q:I have moulding on the bottom but not at the top. Can you adjust the top and bottom tension rods separately, and how far do they go out?
A:
The top and bottom (left and right as well) tension rods can be individually adjusted. I think they go out ~3 inches on each side in my case and I believe there’s still room to go out more. You may want to check the spec for details.
Q:Is it possible to actually mount this gate using hardware (eg screwed into the wall/door’s wood) or can it only be pressure-mounted?
A:
They actually come with these caps that you screw into the wall and it holds the gate in place more securely.
Q:how wide is the gate itself??
A:
it will extend to about 32 inches, so about 26-28 inches for the gate itself. Good luck!
Q:What is the minimum widlth of a door it will fit in?
A:
minimum width of opening is 28″.
Q:Does this gate have a stay open feature?
A:
Not that I could find not in the instruction manual.
Q:If I put this in a doorway that has a door, can the door still be closed with the gate there?
A:
Yes
A:
It’s easy for my wife and I, but we bought it for our dog. The latching mechanism is on top, so your toddler may not be able to reach it.
Q:If I need to cover a are that is 46 inches wide, what’s the most optimal expansions I need to buy? I am unable to find the width dimensions of this.
A:
I would buy a wider baby gate. The extensions aren’t very wide and not sure you could keep adding extensions to get to 46″ wide.
Q:Can this gate be narrow enough to fit in a 25.5″ opening?
A:
Nope, it’s 26″ wide.
Q:One more question, does the gate swing in both directions or just one? It closes on it’s own too right? Thank you in advance!
A:
The gate does swing in both directions, and you can close it with your hand, or give it a strong push and it will close on its own, otherwise it will go to the closed position but will perhaps not latch.
Q:Is the stated height from the top of the gate sides or the top of the gate door?
A:
I just measured ours as set up: from floor to top of gate, 41 inches, to top of sides, 40 inches.
Q:Can you buy extensions to have this fit into wider spaces?
A:
Yes you can. They are offered in a range of sizes. Pay close attention to make sure they are the extra tall variety.
Q:Can the gate swing open both ways?
A:
Yes, the gate opens both ways and will always swing close.
Q:What is the max width included in the package?
A:
I believe this is correct, got this from their description of the pack of 2 gates. NO idea why they didn’t state this here: Fits an opening of 28″ 32″ without extensions
Q:”Includes a 3.5″ extension and a 7″ extension” according to manufacturer description on other sites, but Amazon says “OPTIONAL” Are They Included?
A:
NO!! They should be….the gate only measures 32 inches across!
Q:How wide is this and is this product witout the extensions? I’m confused. My doorway is 36″ wide, so do I need extensions?
A:
The extensions are in the form of knobs that you turn until the space is adequately filled and the gate is tight, UP TO 36″. It works very well.
A:
Yes, the bars are about 3 inches apart with about a 2 1/2 inch gap between bars.
Q:My opening is 43″ wide. How do I make this gate fit my opening?
A:
I’m not sure, since my opening was smaller.
