Does this gate lock open?

No it's only meant to remain closed so when you unlatch it the gate opens then it swings shut.

No, it doesn't. I think that it's automatically closing makes it a little safer, because it can't be inadvertently left open. If need be, it would be easy to prop it open with a door stop at the bottom

This gate (and I suspect all baby gates that swing out) is really easy to "lock" open with a small bungee cord. Put one end at one of the bars that doesnt move (on the hinge side of the gate door) and place the other end on a bar on the gate at the cords max extension without creating tension. I use a bright red cord, which against the white makes it more noticeable so that I dont forget it is open, as others have said could become a problem.

No way. All mechanisms are on the top. You have to slide the lever with your thumb while lifting up on the gate to open it. And it closes automatically and locks. (spend the time setting it up correctly, it makes a big difference).

Sorry to report that I had to remove the gate lock from my gate as it kept malfunctioning causing my gate to lock up on me numerous times. It worked well for a time, however after an initial period of time it caused me numerous problems...hope you have better luck!

Yes, it can swing open. However, this gate is EXTREMELY flimsy and cheaply made. I would not recommend that you buy it. Sorry.

Yes you can swing it shut but only if it's securely installed. I close the gate by clicking it together when I can but half the time I kick the gate with my feet and it clicks shut. We hired a handy man to install it properly and it now auto-locks by just swinging it.

Unfortunately you can't decide how you want to open this gate. It swings/shuts automatically

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

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.

Yes, it stays open. There is no closer on the gate...just a really nice latch.

Yes, but the gate is spring loaded so it will not remain open. It would need to be propped open with something, otherwise it just closes and latches by itself.

Our answer will not make you happy. We have removed the pin just to get the gate to open properly!

No. But the tailgate has to be open to get to the latch. So, if the gate locks the cover is essentially locked also.

No, it does not. You must block the gate with something at the open position if you want it to remain open.

Yes it is, the lock slides with your thumb, then the handle lifts up. Great gate, I own three of them!

Yes, it does. The handle is mounted on the one side of the gate and the bolt and latch are on the opposite side of the gate. The thumb lever opens the gate from the handle side and the bolt can easily be lifted from the other side. The gate bolt can be locked so that it can not be opened from the handle side using a pad lock. I would not want to use this system if I didn't have a second way into the gated area from the handle side since if the blot gets jammed you would have to go over the gate or fence.

Hello Lisa. so you enter your code. Walk through the gate. Close the gate....and you now want to leave. So you press this button (resembles a door bell) and it activates the lock to the open position and you open the gate and exit. Simple as that! I truly enjoy this device!

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