Our opening is exactly 72 inches wide. Will this gate accommodate that space and still be sturdy enough for a two and a half-year-old?

Our opening is 72" wide as well and it fit perfectly. It's sturdy enough for a 16-month old and I can only assume it's sturdy enough for a 2 1/2 year old.

I have it for a 62" opening & it's like a rock. Based on it's general construction I'd have to say yes. It is a VERY sturdy gate, withstanding the barreling into it of three 45 pound dogs whenever someone comes through the front door ;).

I'm not sure about the width, but we have this gate and it has been great for our son. He is currently two and a half years old and has not figured out yet how to work the gate. It is very sturdy in our rather large door opening!

I have mine installed in an opening that's 73.5" wide and it's holding fine. Even though I have mine just past the recommended size it seems sturdy enough for my 15 month old who's 30 lbs and likes to attempt to rip it out of the wall.

Yes- The gate will go to 72''. We purchased 4 gates and we have them all adjusted to different lengths.We are very happy and will order more. One was missing the hardware so we called the # on the box and they sent it right away.

Yes, this gate (as pictured) will fit an opening of 49" without adding the extension. Be aware that the gate has wooden spindles so if you have a chewer you might need to spray it with bitter Apple or other type product.

I love this gate, it's pretty, sturdy, and yes it can adjust to fit the different widths both at the top and at the bottom. It's great.

Kacie, just off the top of my head, I really don't know or know if they have come out with wider gates. My opening is 34 3/4" with one extension. If you put a extension on both sides, maybe or if you added 2x4's on each side to pick up some slack you might be able to get the gate to work, but then you reach a point where the gate becomes a little weak, the whole gate. The better you can use the gate with out to much add ons (extensions) the more sturdy and stronger the gate. It is a great gate, maybe the mfg has made wider gates, would hurt to ask, like I say it is a great doggie gate and would work great for a child gate. bryan Kacie, just off the top of my head, I really don't know or know if they have come out with wider gates.

Our opening is 30" wide but the gate came with two 8 1/2" extensions which we did not use - that would be 46" - so no as it comes out of the box. I bet manufacturer will sell you a third extension (smaller?). I would contact them for sure. Its a great product.

I don't have access to the gate right now to measure it but it does swing both ways. We've had it for 6 months and it seems to be holding up well to the weather. It takes a little getting used to the latch but I see that as a good thing so that my 4 year old doesn't leave the deck. It's a good gate.

Yes it is an awsome gate. I bought two for my daycare. It adjust easily by using the tool provided it just turns to the tightness you need. Getting ready to by another!

The gate is 32" in the middle section. I don't it would work well for a 24" entrance.

After reading other responses, I would probably choose another gate but this is a great gate worth every cent. Have childcare and it stands up to the wear too

My purchase was for a gate that would fit well into a 48 inch entry and it works VERY well, but I would recommend an extension (if they make them) or a model with that expressed width to be sure of a secure fit. Good luck!

no problem...you can slide the gate and set it at any width...mine is a total of 33.5 inches including hinge,etc...I could easily narrow it by 5 inches or so.

Yes, the gate swings both ways, and is about 28 inches high. Secure enough for toddlers and pets.

The way you see the gate pictured will fit a 48" opening which actually has one extension on it. The gate without the extension will not fit 48" because it is the gate only with maybe 2" on each side of it.

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 2x4's on either side of it, but that will likely mean nailing the wood into the walls to prevent the gate from falling down.

There are no available extensions for this gate. Make sure the available length fits your space before you order. At 52 inches it is not going to be as sturdy as you would like it to be. It will be stretched thin.

It will be close. Ours is in a 48" opening and didn't use the smallest extention piece Which would add another 2+ inches. Hope this helps.
