does the gate have a stay open feature?

When you open the gate to walk through, it just swings. It doesn't have a latch that keeps it open if that's what you're talking about :)

yes it does. one side is anchored and serves as a pivot point. the other (latch) side needs to have the gate lifted and set in holes to lock it.

No, it is a bit finicky sometimes, but overall I love having the gate. I can open it with one hand, and it is much easier on my back, and safer than trying to climb over carrying my grandbaby! Just make sure the hinges between the gate and the panels are straight, if not it is very difficult to open and close. I had one set wrong and was cursing the darn thing until I realized what was happening. I leave it open a lot so that my granddaughter who is 10 months can go in and out, which she enjoys. I only close it when necessary.

No but they have to be quick since the door doesn't stay open very long. I love this door and recommend it to everyone looking for a per door. My dogs love it and I live the convenience and security features.

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

Yes. The gate should latch properly. I have the same siuation. The only issue we have is in opening the gate. The attached pin on the hinge side often pops out of the hole. It's an annoyance but not a big deal since it goes back in easily.

Yes it does. The window swings up and stays and the door can be opened all the way or just half if you prefer. Thank you for your interest!Amy

It will stay open on its own. It only opens in one direction, it has a tab at the bottom of the gate but you can turn the gate so the door of it opens on the side you want.... Towards you or away from you. I turn mine so the tab at the bottom is on the side I don't want my dogs pushing open. I hope this helps :-) I wish I could send ya pics to help see it.

That's a hard question to answer. We didn't use the gate much. We usually just stepped over the playard or reached over it, because it was sometimes a small hassle to open and close when we are juggling our twins. I don't think that's the fault of the manufacturer. To stay closed and locked in position, it had to be that way. We tested several gates, and they were all about the same in functionality.

The lock on the gate needs a key to open on the outside. The lock can be opened by turning the knob on the inside. To exit you don't need an extra button on the inside.

The gate opens in both directions, but latches when it swings closed so it does not swing past closed

The gate latches and stays securely closed when it self closes. You can push the lever down for an extra security measure.

The gate does swing both ways. There is nothing to keep it open but mine stays where you put it. Another words you have to close it back when you walk through it. I love this gate. It would have been easy to install had we not had to adjust our base boards to fit the gate.

This gate has *no* automatic closures. You slide a thumb switch, then pull up on the gate and it will swing in or out. It may sound complex, but the whole maneuver is very intuitive.

The gate stays open, but closes easily with the latch. Wasn't a lot of fun to assemble. The printed instructions aren't very clear. However, it's a nice, sturdy gate.

It stays open even if you don't open it all the way. You cannot however lock it into the open position.

Unfortunately not. It takes 2 hands to open or close this gate. If I had known that I would not have bought it.
