Can this gate be used outdoors?

I doubt it. The internal mechanism is spring loaded and probably not water proof. The rest of the parts are plastic or fabric, but I think if the internals got rusted the gate would fail to operate.

i don't think so. it would probably be durable enough, but it does not seem like it is designed for that

I'm using it on the large wooden door from the kitchen to the garage and it's working just fine, so I don't imagine you'd have an issue with a gate door.

Yes, depending on the weight of the gate and the proper sizing and number of hinges.

No. Gate works with tension. If not a straight tight fit it may not close properly.

Probably not. I wasn't impressed with this gate. It nearly pulled out of the wall the first time we opened it. I followed the directions to the letter. It was very hard to use in an area with a lot of traffic.

Yes, only if the gate can house a normal door handle. I use 10 of these for my personal home and rentals. All are flawless and even in -25 Minnesota winters.

Outside diameter is about 4.5". Thickness is about 1" each. So with one on either side of the gate they would reduce your opening by 2".

It should be fine as long as you are not trying to keep a little dog in because the spaces at the end will be a bit larger than between the rest of the gate.

They are high quality hinges and very tough and durable. Yes, they can be used outside however galvanized steel resists rust much better. If you do use them outside i suggest keeping them polished otherwise they will eventually lose their luster and spot. When you say outside i hope they have some type of protection from rainfall.

Yes I have. We have vinyl posts and didn't want to drill into them, so we zip-tied 2x4s to the posts and drilled into that. Our porch is covered, so the gate isn't exposed to all the elements, but it has held up well for over a year now.

I would think so. I would just make sure the post you are mounting to is sturdy enough to accommodate the swinging gate.

Yes, they are completely weatherproof and are made for outdoor use when installed properly. I use them on outside security gates with no issues.

I woulg say yes as but the sturdiness of the gate will depend on the sturdiness of the posts. I have it mounted one side wall and one side post of a banister and have never had an issue.

I would say probably not, just because if the plastic brackets. The gate itself would hold since its metal and seems very sturdy (been using ours for 2 years). If you try it i would make sure you you bolt it into studs on both ends to make if as sturdy as possible

I haven't tried. After my son ripped it out of the wall, I use it as a temp dog gate when I come home from the grocery store.

No , it's not for a gate that wide. I would not put it in a gate any wider than 6 ft wide. And that's pushing it.

I have it for a 62" opening & it's like a rock. Based on it's general construction I'd have to say yes. It is a VERY sturdy gate, withstanding the barreling into it of three 45 pound dogs whenever someone comes through the front door ;).
