do you have to reopen it? or does it stay open and not collapse as they play in it? The one we have now closes as she runs through it.

Very sturdy, stays open all the time. My cat LOVES IT!!! And she loves to peek out the hole in the middle!!!!!

This tunnel stays open as they play in and around it. I have had no issues with it collapsing. You can force it to collapse for storage purposes, but even that is difficult. I highly recommend this tunnel. My cats absolutely love it. :)

It stays open the whole time! It has sturdy wire that keeps it open and doesn't poke through! Even my picky senior kitty plays in it!

If your tunnel collapses there is some kind of defect. Our tunnel, which we have had for a couple of years, is very stable no matter what is going on. It would be very difficult to even collapse it on purpose if we were trying to put it away.

It stays open but there are tea to fold it up if you want to. But that does take some effort. It will not collapse on its own.

Only part of it is screwed shut. You can access inside of the run from above, rather than opening the side door and encountering an escape.

It can collapse if you velcro it or bungy it..otherwise it would have to be removed.

It closes smoothly inside the rim . .there's no way they can get their nose under it when closed. I did have something interfering with full closure once and one side was "slightly" opened - the dog gave it his best to get into it, but you need to stop on the pedal to assist the opening and he didn't stand a chance.

It stays fully open. It will click when it is fully opened and remains in place. We have had no problems with ours.

The base of the opening is attached to the bounce floor, and it would be unsafe to keep the front open permanently. The product is specifically designed to remain relatively closed, although in order to comply with ASTM toy standards, the velcro is not particularly difficult to undo, in order for kids to easily enter and exit.

The first one that I bought about 2 years ago stills stays pretty tight on. It has got a little lose over time than what it once was but still does a good job. As long as it doesn't take a big hit I'm sure it will stay closed thru most things. The only time mine has come open from knocking it over or dropping it, is when I fell once and hit hard and the top came open. Hope that helps.

it has to be turned to open, and turned to reclose. Mine didn't stay closed very good. But it might of been me.

Send it back. They should replace it. I have had mine for more then a year and it stays closed.Henry

One of mine was like that, too. There is a rubber gasket inside so that it does not leak when you put it in the pool, but makes it hard to open. My husband used pliers and a thin towel (so as not to destroy the plastic) to get some extra leverage to open it. Ours are still going strong :)

Yes, it stays open. You have to use the string ties to keep it closed and from popping back open.

That is the board. It closes shut when you're done. Kids love it, even older ones.

it doesn't "bang" shut but there is a noise. I suggest going to a pet store where they are on display and testing out

Ours is at the top of the stairs. It doesn't lock closed on its own. We have to shut it. I find myself closing it like I would a door to a room I'm entering if I just want it shut part way, and then it usually closes and locks. Alignment is key though.

Good luck! I assume you mean after it's assembled, right? I couldn't figure it out. We worked and worked with it. I was afraid to break it. I love the mobile and the little animals are adorable, but it must snap back out. I understand your trepidation; you don't want to break it.

When we were attaching the gate to the walls, it was hard to open/close. I believe my husband adjusted the tension on the screws going into the walls. Opens/closes great. We LOVE this gate!!!

We have this can, and *most* of the time it keeps him out (a mini-Aussie). However, even when it stays shut, he has managed to remove the bag (leaving the trash inside the can). He sometimes gets it open by pulling up on the back of the can. I've come downstairs to find he popped the back off with the lock still in place.Of course, it depends on what is in the can as to how determined he is to get into it.
