Can this gate be used in a hallway (rather than top of stairs)?

We use ours in a hallway / doorway so that we can block off our kitchen. Works great and really wish I would have bought more for other areas of our house. Our son is 22 months and very tall for his age. This gate is also tall and I never worry that he will get over / through it. Good Luck

Yes, I have only used them in hallways. I have three of these gates and they work very well keeping two children and one dog safe.

Yes as long as it can be attached to two walls I suppose it can be used anywhere.

Absolutely could be used in a hallway rather than top of stairs. The gate includes mounting hardware that easily can be used in the middle of the hallway. We have our gate mounted about 3 feet down the hall from the top of our stairs and that works great. For robustness of the mounting you may want to ensure that you're either mounting to something solid (like studs) or using wall anchors of some sort.

This gate is very versatile and would fit an entrance within the 3ft 6 inches range to 3ft 8 inches. I had mine mounted on the first step of my staircase and not at the base. However this gate can be adjusted well to suit any length you want to achieve. I'm not too handy so I got a handy man to do it for me.

You probably could. Ours is in a door frame but it has the same fittings as a child stair gate so should be ok.

I would have to say no. The gate top/bottom have to be level in order for the gate to lock closed.

Yes, just make sure the combined width of the gate and extensions don't exceed the width of the the bottom of the hall.

The gate does not have to be installed on the floor. You can set the eyelets at any level you want. They suggest close to the floor so pets cant try to get under it and get stuck

Yes, this gate can be mounted in a door way, it does not have to be mounted on any angles to work properly.

Absolutely. I use mine in just that way and it is perfect. That said, if you have very large dogs, say, rotties, no gate may do the job. This gate is sturdy and beautiful as well.

No. But we have been using it in five foot wide opening from our kitchen to our living room for the past seven months. It has been a terrific prevention CLR our now 62 lb puppy who is just beginning to learn not to jump on people. He now is more than Chest high against the gate and it never wavers. The fact that it is screwed into the sheetrock seems to be critical I imagine you would be able to screw it into the post at the topP of the deck stairs should do it for you as well.

The gate is pretty easy to use and I suspect it will work fine in a doorway that is not exactly, completely square...depending, of course, on how un-square the door in question really is.

I would say it is a combination of the reasons Amy and Cheryl gave. Although it fits snugly, it is possible to move the gate given a moderate amount of force. Plus the need to lift a foot to depress the foot pedal, could result in a very unbalanced step through, and potential fall when combined with the top step of a stairway.

It should be fine as long as you are not trying to keep a little dog in because the spaces at the end will be a bit larger than between the rest of the gate.

As long as the correct screws and tools are used. There is a flat panel that gets screwed to the wall and the gate hooks to that.

Yes but...due to the fastening materials (velcro) I would not trust it at the top of the stairs. We use ours at the bottom. It serves its purpose.

Yes. If you know to use it. If, for instance, you keep one side folded, and open(unfolded) the other side, then put the short side higher up the stairs, and the longer part lower on the stairway.

There isn't anything to hold this in a doorway as a gate. I would have to say, probably not.

Any gate mounted above stairs needs to be hardware-mounted. This pressure-mounted one eventually can wiggle loose, especially if the surfaces it's pushing up against for mounting are not completely square horizontally. More than once we have stepped to open it and the whole thing dislodged, and we hadn't realized it was that loose.
