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?

There is a feature that can be unscrewed, that when removed, allows you to open the gate both ways. It is a safety feature so that when installing it at the top of the stairs, a child cannot open the gate into the stairs.

it will autoclose but I don't see why you can't just flip it around 180 degrees and to have it open on the other side.

If you rotate it 180 degrees so it's facing forward first, yes. It can not be closed and turned on... in fact, to turn it on, you open the door.

I'm not sure what you are asking. My sliding (from the inside) slides from left to right. I'm sure it would have worked if the door slid from right to left.

I don't think so. It will help keep the door in the closed position or return it to closed if opened.

Yes, you can make the door open either way. Directions are extremely confusing however it can be done

No, it won't automatically close. There's a hinge and you have to lift the gate an inch or so and place it into the lock (which is easy to do).

It is limiting. I would have to know more to answer intelligently. It works for us but we had to install upside down for it to work which means opening the door by pushing up rather than down.

If it is installed correctly, all you do is bring it to the horizontal position and it locks itself. To open the door just raised it to the vertical position, and that all. Thanks.

The door can be mounted on either side and the door itself just flips over to accommodate the hinges on the opposite opening. I recall that the instructions show this.

not that I have figured out. We have to prop something in front of the door to keep it open. You can hold it (keep it from slamming shut) and it will not lock and you can just open it with your hand instead of stepping on the pedal to unlock and open. It does swing both ways tho depending upon which side you step on the pedal. We like it very much!

The way I installed it only allowed me to open up to 90 degree. It does not stay open for every position I want it to.

The gate does swing both ways. There is nothing to keep it open but mine stays where you put it. Another words you have to close it back when you walk through it. I love this gate. It would have been easy to install had we not had to adjust our base boards to fit the gate.

Probably not because you have to screw it in the door or else it moves whenever you open/close the door.

It needs to be installed on the side the door opens towards. I have 2 installed on closet doors that open out into the room. They work great.

No. You would have to install the door without a seal to get it to swing both ways. To my knowledge, shower doors always open out. The door can be installed for left or right operation and could be installed to open in, if that's what you wanted to do. But, it you wanted it to swing in and out, you might have trouble getting it to keep the water from leaking through the space between the door and the opening where you install the door.

YES, there is a choice, you can assemble it either way. We assembled ours with the door on the left side.

I have used several different doors in the past of a similar style. I have always in the past used them as a semi-permanent solution and I believe that it is possible to do the same with this door. I have actually made this installation permanent as I have mounted the panel on the stationary side of the door. It was suggested tibdi this as an alternative solution and Iam happy iI did it that way. Just be aware that if you mount it on the siding side or the stationary side you are lossing pass thr space
