What is the actual range of doors this can fit without extensions? 37-60"? One reviewer suggested not.

What comes in the box will cover 37" - 60". Anything wider requires extensions. The three panels are put together with screw bolts along the top and bottom. I am not sure what happened to the reviewer who could not get to 60". Check the model # on Amazon against the model # on the Carlson Pets website and it should be clear what you are getting. Perhaps something was mis-shipped? I used it with 24" extensions.

No extensions are not included, our opening is 36 inches and it is perfect.

You will need 60" for the doors and such to open...a bit more to open them all the way (and utilize the dvd storage space). Mines been in use for 6 months or so...I still like it.

My opening is 39 inches and i am only using one extension. 40 inches will work with both extensions. I like it but feel for the price it should be better. The wood on mine is greenish and the side with the latch could be sturdier. The adjustable part is the problem if extended as far as it goes.

I am assuming if your door is 8' wide and 7 ' high then, no you do not need extension. You will need extension only if your door is taller than 7'.

I would also like to know the total width of the bar. My only suitable doorways are bound by walls on either side, so anything wider than 35" won't work. I found this out when my Xmas gift of an Iron Gym bar would not fit. Why is this info not part of the basic description? Thanks, Nick.

If you need 20" extension, these will go 22" extension. however, you DO need to have a cabinet depth of at least 22 inches to use these. if your depth is only 20 inches these will not work for you and you should buy the shorter rails.

The product description is accurate for width. If you need additional width to span your doorway, buy the extension kit that fits seamlessly with the door.

I have 9 foot doors & had to purchase the extension for them so I would no with-out the extensions

Sorry I measured the wrong gate. This gate I have set at almost 60". There is about 4" of adjustment with the screws. I used two extensions to get to the 60".

I think you can go either way. This fits 36" exactly and upto 60", including latch and hinges. If you go with a small one, you can always add wood/post to an existing post to make up for any gaps in width. Your call.

If the door is over 7 feet in height you will need the extension. It replaces a shorter part of the bar and the belt. Its easy enough to install - but I would prefer that they sell a model for 8 foot doors - as I am paying some for a part I can't use.

I did not need an extension, if your door is 10' you will. I had a 1/2 horse opener that wasn't strong enough for a wide door so the extra power has been great!

There's a larger one available, ie, for wider openings. But since this one says it fits up to 32" you'd need at least 40" of extension.

I believe it can be as wide as 72 inches. We used ours for a 52" wide opening, and we didn't even use the included extensions.

I had a 32" opening and the doors came in at 31". I thought that's how a 36" worked, it comes smaller but probably not in your case. plain the doors down or send them back

I've used it in a 30inch doorway and it worked fine, without the removable section for the wider applications so i would assume it would work okay at 36 inches. Hope that helps.
