How can I pass through the opening with that bar running across it? Will I be able to go in and out easily?

There is no cross bar when you opened it, that means you don't have to remove it.

It has an emergency latch and you would have to be quite wide not to fit through it, I did have to do a bunch of framing though to get it to fit. I used it to replace a smaller worn out window.

Yes the bar can come up but it does not work well..there are other better learn to walk items out the ..plus the button never worked right to make the sounds ..we were disappointed with this purchase ..

Yes. The top has an opening to be Able to easily slide onto the bar. It's big enough also that it is ableTo be done with ease.

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.

Sorry, but this version does not support exit bars. You may want to search for our ETDL version locks. Thank you, B&H; Depot

There is a flange on the frame that goes around the inside of your opening. It has holes for you to secure it with screws.

No, there is no pass-through. You need to step over, or disengage the gate.

Hi. Just simply push all the way in. You will hear a click. Not too tricky at all.

I believe you want to have the bar all the way up. It looks like it will work as you can pull bar towards you to clear and slip into the bar holder. However it may not be as highly effective a block because of its location (compared to center).

It is easy access with the pull out shelves, but you will have to open the door fully to have the shelves be able to pull out entirely. Same as one of the previous review mentioned.The shelves are on tracks.

you have to remove the single bar that goes across the top from side to side really easy :)

The gate does NOT swing all the way open and lay flat. Plus there's a bar that goes across the bottom of the entire gate so when the door's open you have to step over the bar to go through the gate. You can always remove the entire gate from the wall mountings if you want the space open for a period of time.

It is the same on both sides. So the answer would be no regarding opening past the frame. Depending how wide your door is, you are most likely going to first run into the buffered stopper before the handle would hit the frame ... and you don't really want to install this without the stopper ... it's one of the main features in my opinion. Plus, you want to be able to open the door from the inside, no?

Not all the way, but it will open far enough for you to be able to use it with no problem.

Probably not - while the bar itself is strong, most adults would be able to open it. You are probably better off locating some sort of locking bar (with a key mechanism) or even a tamper alarm, to wake you up if he wanders outside.

Wrap the strap around the handlebar and push it into the slot. It'll just stop there instead of just passing through. You have to keep a little pressure by pushing on the strap with one hand while you use the other hand to turn the allen screw clockwise until it starts pulling through, then keep turning until it's tight.

Sorry I can't really say except I do think would be a hindrance as it connects the slider to the stationary door quite firmly and we feel pretty secure with it. Do be sure to push the bar into its holder if YOU go outside as I've had the experience of not doing that and it fell down and kept me out quite successfully. Truth be told, easier for an intruder to just take a crowbar to a sliding door and bust it out if they wish.
