Can I still open the patio door to go in and out myself? If so how wide will my opening be

Depends on how wide your door is. Mine opens from the middle out so my installation is a little different. One door opens the same as before and the other doesn't open. My son installed one at his house the standard one door opens and he has about 18 to 20 inches to go out.

Yes you can still use your door! The opening is not as big and we can still use our slider! However we can not use the screen door any longer

Of course you can. Your opening will be that much less of the size of the door you purchase.

You can, it has a lock thing up top. We love it. Opening is enough to get thru for someone up to 250 lbs I'd say.

Yes you can still open the patio door. The width of the opening will be reduced by apprx 1/3

Yes you can. Size depends on the size of your door opening. Subtract the width of the Pet Safe door from your current door opening. It made our opening kind of narrow, but we do not use that slider much anyway.

Not sure how wide the opening is and am not at home so can't measure it. You would not be able to get a walker through easily.

Hi John - if by total door width you mean the full opening, you should be able to fit through, with about an inch of clearance on each side. The chair with the 18" seat is about 24" wide. If you opt for the 20" seat, you'd likely scrape through your door. Hope this helps and good luck!

The opening is about 2 1/2 inches. I assumes that all patio umbrellas fit all bases. If you want to be sure, you would need to know the width of the umbrella pole.

From what the description says you will just make it to 60 inches. The gate door opening itself is 23 inches

you can open the roof or the rectangle part. without being in front of it...i'm guessing arounfd 36". you can remove the porch from inside for more room, but they might be able to squeeze underneath and get out.

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.

Yes it is too wide to go through mine, I use it for the rest of the house and switch to A SMALLER ONE to go bathrough my bathroom door which is 27"through my

As long as you have a post on the side the gate opens you should be ok. It's fairly slim.

I just checked the other question/ answers for the size opening and one reviewer was adamant that the widest opening for this gate is 40 inches. You definitely need to look for a longer gate. It will not be secure.

Yes, you will only be able to open the door partway. I have it on a closet door that I don't use often and opening the door only about 1/3 of the way is not a problem for me.

Mine opens only partway since molding interferes and it opens 10". That's plenty of room to get inside. To open all the way you would need 11" minimum from toilet, I think. Mine is not right next to toilet. Hope this helps.

I am not sure that the door would open wide enough. Also, the ramp might me a little to tall. I use it for a miniature dachshund to climb into the bed. It works very well but the material is a little slippery.

My Wife who I bought it for says no. Sideways on with the door open is the way to get the most benefit from it. Desmond Davey,30 Dec.2013

I dont think its made to open that wide but it will. Its a tight fit, but I did make it happen

I am not at home to measure the gate opening but I do believe it is what they say it is. I am very satisfied with the opening, comfortable to go through. Door swings both directions. I have the 60 in fence and gate. Anything really huge items can be lifted over the fence/gate area or remove the whole thing. If you are not satisfied with this answer please feel free to let me know, in the meantime I will measure my gate and if it differs from 23 inches I will try to let you know somehow. Jeri
