Does this gate have to sit on the floor or can it be installed a couple inches above the floor? I'm worried about it scratching my wood floor.

You can install it at any height you want. I installed ours a half inch off the floor for the same reason.

The gate does not have to be installed on the floor. You can set the eyelets at any level you want. They suggest close to the floor so pets cant try to get under it and get stuck

Ours is installed an inch or two above the floor to clear an awkward threshold.

Ours was installed a couple inches above the floor but when you open it you'll have to lift it so it doesn't scratch when you swing it back

My evenflo gate is mounted on a door frame and sits about 1 inch off the floor and swings both ways. It is great. My second gate, and I love how easy it mounts and works.!!

I have purchased and assembled this gate but I am not familiar with the piece you are referring to. Feel free to email me directly if you have yet to figure it out. I can say that I had to drill a wider hole in our concrete to fit the piece that drops into the ground, assuming that is what you were referring to.

We used the mounting casters to prevent it from being easy to move, I imagine that if you skipped that step it would screw tight and loosen up like any other pressure mounted gate. We permanent mounted ours, it also depends upon your definition of 'a lot of time and effort', it will take a few minutes to unscrew and screw tight again.

well it's a wooden gate so might warp unless you paint it with clear coat or waterproof, etc. It's not made out of wolmanized wood like a fence post is. Seems a metal gate would be more suitable for outdoors.

It sits above the flooring about 1/3 " if you are installing it on hardwood. I put it in an area that isn't going to be walked on all the time (under the couch) and haven't had a problem. It would definitely be a trip hazard if you put it where you would be walking all the time.

I would not use it on wood floors we have linoleum and our 30lb 4mth old pup jumps on the fence and the joints scratch the floor. also unless you have something to secure it with they can move it or knock it over.

It has adjustable feet on the front. I measured 34-1/2" to the top of the door hinge, but I have the foot raised higher on that side to accommodate an uneven floor. It could definitely be lowered to 34-1/4" or lower.

I have an average size house cat and I would say NO to your question. I have elevated my gate up so that my dogs can't jump over this thing (the top rail is 40" above the floor instead of ~30") My cat still jumps over it with relative ease. Since I raised the gate up, I had to put a piece of wood below the gate to keep the cat/dogs from going under the gate. This gate isn't going to work unless you have an unfit cat that can't jump

Brent, it has little round protruding pads to prevent from scratching wood floors, however, I have only used mine once and when I looked under it to check in answer to your question, I found one missing. I would pull each pad out (easy) and apply small amount of Gorilla Glue to the bottom of each pad and stick them back in. Will never come out. Love this gate and would recommend to anyone with small pets. Hope this helps you. Sorry I am late with my response but I was on vacation.

Usually it is getting attached to the middle of the gate. But it is always depends of the design of your gate, so you may have to to attach some sort of extension panel to it to make it work.

I have two small (5lb) dogs, when I set it up in a zig zag position they can not knock it over. Don't know about a gate, I step over it. When the dogs are elsewhere, I fold back one section for a path. Hope it work for you, I like it.

Hi, mine is installed on a second floor. The only issue we had was you need to be able to set it in place and access from below to secure the dain. In other words the drainage that came with it did not allow to be tighten from the top. Hope it helps

You have some flexibility in how high you mount it above the gate. Mine is no more than four inches above.

We choose to keep the gate on the floor, even with the bottom pressure plates only partially on the trim.We did think about potentially raising the entire gate off of the floor, however then you would loose the stability point on the floor.If we decide to get fancy we may decide to fabricate a little jig (e.g. 2 small boards) that would fit over the trim to create a flat surface.Thirdly you could potentially mount the top pressure mounts with the include cups if needed, while leaving the lower pressure plates as is.

Just purchases two if these gates for my porch to confine my dogs. The gate is 27 1/2" high. The installed height will depend on how far off the floor you mount the brackets. I have Dachshunds and Chihuahuas so U mounted my low so they could not go under the gate. It is mounted 1 1/2" off the floor (or deck in this case). That now makes the installed height 29". If your dog is bigger, you will be able to raise the mounting brackets high enough that your dig cannot go under and not hopefully not jump over. So far very pleased with the gates. Only complaint is one of the set screws would not set as it was stripped. Hope this helps.

The door must be parrell with the floor. You controll the down travel of door with adjustment on door opener. Not sur I understand your question. If your floor is not flat and level then this item will not fix your problem.

I have mine on a laminate wood floor and it's fine. The center stabilizer was broken when I received it, so I just unscrewed it and replaced it with a block of wood the same size and it's fine. Great looking product!
