When you remove the gate from the mounting strips, how far do they stick out on either side (how much is the width of the door opening reduced)?

One side adjusts so there is some variance but its about an 1.5" + 2.5" as Susan noted. (4" total)

One mounting strip sticks out a bit less than 1.25 inches and the other mounting strip sticks out 2.25 inches. I have this gate in my hallway and I love it!

The instruction sheet states that without extensions it will fit 28"-31.5". With one extension it will fit 31.5"-35.5". With two extensions it will fit 35.5"-38.5". My opening was just over 33" so I had to use the gate with one extension. Hope that helps.

I can't remember the exact measurements that the gate fits, but several others answered that it will fit up to 35 1/2" without the extension. We have a large dog that it works well with. We have enjoyed the easy to use gate to contain our dog and to be able to walk through the gate.

They protrude from the door about 3.12" where the rack shelves are and about 1" on the frame. I had to rearrange my shelves to make it work. Not sure I really got any more space but it's nice to have the things I use the most on the door

Not sure on exact length but we have 4" to 6" on the bottom and they barely fit the 4x4" square top post. I really don't recommend this gate. We needed something though so I Jimmy rigged it to work with my own supplies.

My husband installed it and then realized it was meant for another door, so he had to remove it. He had no problem doing so. :) Hope that helps!

Hi,actually I was not able to fit it into my door. There was a different strip installed before. So I ended up with just buying the old type strip.

2 inches between the bars. You might have an issue with the ends depending on the width of your door. Best gate for chihuahuas!

The product description says it will fit and opening from 29-1/2" to 35". I believe my staircase opening is 32" and this gate fits well without the extension. You can see my installation at this link:

On one side (the side the whole gate mounts to) 1.5" would be enough. On the other side (the side for the latch/lock), you'll need about 2.5-3".

You only need about 1/8-1/4" for the side of the mounting bracket. But, importantly, we noticed that over the past year, one of our gate posts shifted a bit, closing the gap. So a little more give I think is better than less.

2 inches. We love this gate. We use it to separate the dog from the other side of the house. The gate is great.

We didn't have any issues with the ends. They sat flush on the doors. By design, I think they come out about 1/8" or so as they form into the handle.

These are the dementions for the gate I have:30" H x 37-60" W - the second piece has screw holes spaced about 3 inches apart. So it can be 37 inches at the smallest then about 40 etc up to about 54 inches. There are threaded rods that add another 1/2 to 6 inches to make up any differences between the mounting points. Pet door is 10" H x 7" WModel: 1210PW

The hangers that hold the door to the rail stick up about 2 inches above the rail, if not more. I can measure if you want or send you a pick?

It would not be possible to cut the width from the doors. I did need to trim the top and bottom of mine since my opening was only. 72 inches

The gate does NOT swing all the way open and lay flat. Plus there's a bar that goes across the bottom of the entire gate so when the door's open you have to step over the bar to go through the gate. You can always remove the entire gate from the wall mountings if you want the space open for a period of time.
