Can it open the gate from both sides or just lock from both sides?

The gate can be locked AND opened from either side as you get two sets of keys with it. This item is a huge hit in our neighborhood as each neighbor who hears about it (and then see it in action) has purchased. I'm so glad we got this and feel much safer now.

It does both. Very satisfied with the product. Easy to install and easy to use.

Yes, it opens from both sides. From the front, you push a button that unlatches and you push the gate at the same time to open. From the backside you simply lift up the latch and pull the gate open.

I highly recommend it. It's in perfect working condition, even after a contractor forced the gate open, breaking the 2x4 it was screwed on to! Just install it properly (we took tips from a reviewer here).

Yes, it can open from both sides. I have seen others styles that have one side function but the one I purchased fully functions from either side. We love it and plan to order another one soon!

This is junk. It is meant to lock and unlock from both sides, but it's unreliable and doesn't let you operate it from the outside about half the time. I'm not sure what other folks have done to be satisfied with theirs. For my case, it's utterly useless and after a month I removed it from the gate.

Make sure you follow the instructions. You must cut the piece in the center long enough for it to open from both sides. It goes from the outside locking/opening mechanism to the inside locking/opening mechanism.

Yes it can open from both sides and locks from both sides. The cool thing is it can accommodate a 6x6 or a 4x4 post.

Yes, it can open from both sides. If you look at where the key is on the smaller part of the image, they key slot is actually a push button that lifts the latch off of the metal bar.

I used the right side button to open a door. Then the left to open a gate. They worked the same way to set it up. However I had to within a few feet to make it program for the gate. Hope this helped.

No, the lock is at the top. There is a piece that flips down to prevent the gate from opening one direction or the other. You can put them both down at the same time which will act like a lock, but you have to manually manipulate these; they will not open when you open the top lock.

The gate locks at the other wall in two bracket locations. The bottom part clips in and the top clips and locks. I live in an old home with very narrow doorways and this gate was our only option. It actually works well in several doorways. It's not the prettiest gate but it is functional.

The locking mechanism is located on the drivers side. Once unlocked, it can be open from either side

Yes both sides lock. You can unlock it and open it from either side but if you unlock it from one side only that side opens. For instance if you unlock it from the drivers side and don't open it you can't open it from the passenger side unless that lock is unlocked also. Hope this helps.

Well, the 'pin side' has to be installed on the gate and the 'lock side' has to be on the fixed wall or post. Also worth mentioning - the key side probably can't be installed upside down. I cut a piece just a hair too short and so our latch relies on gravity to shut fully... and the lock won't catch if it's not shut fully.

Depends on what you mean by open. It has 2 knobs on the bottom so you can: (1) open away from you only, (2) open towards you only, (3) open both ways, or (4) not open, w/c is helpful when installing the gate. What you can do is switch the knobs on the bottom while the gate is open, so, it does not close completely. If you are expecting it to stay open at 45 degrees, it does not have that mechanism.

I find it very easy to open, right from the get go. You can even do it one handed. Slide the latch with your thumb and pull up on the gate. Then swing it open in either direction. It closes just as easily. Just put it back in place and let go.

I don't see how it can because the door opens both ways, unless you can secure that the door would only open toward the side with the lock.

It is not designed to open from either end. It has a quick release only on one end. It must be at the tailgate end to work properly.

It doesn't matter which side the door hinges are on. The lever that is on the lock is made to be reversed very easily to accommodate either a right or left hinged door.

Hi Amy, Unfortunately, no the door cannot be switched to open in the other direction.

The gate doesn't actually lock, but it latches. It opens outward, away from the center of the play yard. You can push it closed and latch it from outside, or you can reach and pull it toward you from inside. It can be a little tricky to latch sometimes. You have to line things up just right,and sometimes you have to fool with it a little bit. So far, my grandson, age 21 months, has not been able to open it. We have several, one opened up and blocking the bottom of our stairs, and two opened up and joined together in the family room to block the TV and computer.

No, this opens both ways as well as has the ability to lock on either side. Make sure the tenant has both sides unlocked as you can adjust the red and green tabs to block access one way and/or the other.

The gate attaches easily with an eye screw and a spring clip on both sides of the gate. You can open from either side by sliding open or by swinging the whole gate. Very flexible, and worked very well with my 4 yr old and my two dogs. It is a bit flimsy but served its purpose very well for us.

No. It is either locked or unlocked. Both sides of the gate are the same setting. The locking mechanism sets both sides: either both locked or both unlocked.
