Does this gate stay open, or does it need to be propped open with something? Also, does it swing open either way or just in one direction?

Swings open in one direction only. The gate stays open on it's own, does not need propping to stay open. You can fine tune your adjustment with the knobs on the end and angle it to have it swing as it's opened. You need to use the cups and screws to make it more secure in the doorway but my dogs respect it at my house without knocking it down. If they knocked it down, I'd use the screws in the end pieces and attach to the door frame to make it more secure and permanent.

It will stay open on its own. It only opens in one direction, it has a tab at the bottom of the gate but you can turn the gate so the door of it opens on the side you want.... Towards you or away from you. I turn mine so the tab at the bottom is on the side I don't want my dogs pushing open. I hope this helps :-) I wish I could send ya pics to help see it.

The gate opens and closes. The gate door opens only in one direction, and can be secured to stay closed. It does not need to be propped to stay open or closed. It is very functional, and works well in keeping our two dogs (a lab and a great dane) contained in certain areas.

You dont have to prop it open. It swings open in one direction. I love it very very sturdy

it swings in both directions. Mine will usually stay open if I unlatch it and swing it open.

This gate stays open but it opens only one way as there is a lip on the latch that stops it from swinging both directions.

This gate has a small hole that the gate fits into to close. To open you pull up slightly and the door can than be swung in either direction.

The gate attaches easily with an eye screw and a spring clip on both sides of the gate. You can open from either side by sliding open or by swinging the whole gate. Very flexible, and worked very well with my 4 yr old and my two dogs. It is a bit flimsy but served its purpose very well for us.

If you install it not quite vertically aligned, with the top bar tilted towards the side of the room you want the gate to stay open, it will stay open due to gravity. To shut it you'll have to push the gate to catch the bottom latch, but the top gate latch may not close then. A child will not be able to open the gate, because you have to lift the door to disengage the bottom latch. I just installed it yesterday and it does not close. I intend to correct it today though, as it is not recommended.

The top latches. The bottom has a little lever that will either lock the gate, or make it only open in one direction.

Yes there are hinges on one side so that once you have "unlocked" the gate it can swing forwards or backwards to open.

My husband put this gate up because we have a dog, and I liked the design. Also because I wusnted something that would swing open. The easy lach is a big plus. But we have it installed at the top of the stairs. We have a new grand baby, and my concern, is when she gets old enought to crawl/ walk. Is the latch going to be strong enought to keep the gate from breaking open ? I don't want it to be something I have to worry about, her falling doun the stairs. It's screwed into the studs of the doorway on both sides. But I need answeres. Thanks Tammy

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!

Only one way, for safety reasons. For example, if it were placed at the top of the stairs - it would not swing open towards the steps - just in case little miss perfect got lucky and managed to open it. Of course, you can always unscrew it and turn it around to face the other direction if you like. Takes about 2 mins sober. There is no way to tell the difference, other than the direction the gate swings. Good product.

the gate has magnetic closures on the top and bottom of the swing-out section. Swings both directions. Very easy, and good looking too.

No it's free swinging, so there is no hold open. That said assuming you mount it level and plumb it should stay opening if you want it to. Our does. Hope this helps.

This gate (and I suspect all baby gates that swing out) is really easy to "lock" open with a small bungee cord. Put one end at one of the bars that doesnt move (on the hinge side of the gate door) and place the other end on a bar on the gate at the cords max extension without creating tension. I use a bright red cord, which against the white makes it more noticeable so that I dont forget it is open, as others have said could become a problem.

Yes the door will swing both ways. It has locking tabs on both bottom corners to lock it. when unlocked it swings either direction and has a magnet in the frame and door that will hold it shut but the pet can easily open from either side.

you have to close it yourself and latch it. I love this gate. We have a 60 pound goldendoodle puppy who loves to put his paws up on it when he gets excited to see us. super sturdy

You can mount on either the left or right, and the gate swings both ways - very far to the left AND right. It's extremely versatile.

it opens and stays open but doesn't open flat against the other gate panels, it just kinda sticks out a little. It does go back quite far, just not all the way. I will say it is easy to open one-handed and with as far back as it goes it doesn't really get in the way and I have mine in a doorway that when opened it's in front of another doorway and it doesn't get in the way of the flow of traffic with 3 dogs and 4 kids in the house.
