I mounted retractable gate on the wall but need to be able to latch it when I want the gate in use, but have a post only. Will adapter work for this?

I don't see why it wouldn't. The gate adapter is just another surface to mount your gate hardware to so you don't damage the post. If you can mount it on your post then you should be able to mount it on the gate adapter.

It depends on how wide the post is. If the post is really slim it will not work.

My husband said he'd omit the pin and replace it with a nut and bolt. We have not had anyone do this to our gate, yet! Good luck!

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 can. It mounts with two small brackets that attach to the wall or where ever you want them. The gate has begs that slide down into the brackets and click in at the back. The opening in you lift up out of the bracket mount. It's actually really easy to install.

Mind you, I will present an educated guess. The mechanisms that hold the gate in place are threaded bolts with a cap on the outer end. These fit into mounts that are fixed to the wall either with screws or adhesive disks. That's LOTS of play in bolts. My guess is that so long as you don't exceed the maximum span or less than the minimum span, then this could be done. If you provide me with your width dimensions, I will provide a more concrete response.

I'm not familiar with the fitting sizes on the Carlson gates, so this would be something you'd have to experiment with, but I do know that our Gate Adaptor will work with all gates.

No it won't work because it's not a pressure gate. There is nothing to hold it on by itself.

I'd suggest getting the adapter. I tried to use a gate with the same set up (wall on one side banister on the other) and it was not very secure. After putting the adapter on, it was as secure as having it set up between 2 flat surfaces.

No, the 2 mounting surfaces need to be in the same plane. Also the gate would need to be well balanced with good hinges to work.

It should work. I just put a small piece of wood in between the bracket and the wall to makeup the difference. It worked perfect. This gate is great too, I would recommend!! My opening was a bit larger like yours and this was the best gate I could find!

Yes. It takes a little time so you may want to look into a pressure mounted gate that opens instead. But I do move this gate regularly.

Hey Rob,I believe it is best used on a stationary post. You must shut the gate with authority - just short of slamming it to make sure its latched. Its the best latch other than that. I've been building gates and fences for 30+ years. Good luck! VW

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.

Sorry I'm not really sure. I have a munchkin gate and it worked great. I had another gate (sorry I don't remember what kind) and the holes were too small in the gate for these.

I believe so. One side of the gate is a mount bracket and the gate is on a hinge that swings 180 degrees from the bracket. The other side of the gate is a detachable mount bracket the gate locks onto to close. I don't see why the detachable mount couldn't go on the banister and the permanent mount go on the angled wall.

If you have a banister on both sides or handy stud in the wall it will be fairly easy. If you don't have anything solid to mount the gate to on the wall side it will not be easy as the weight of the gate will eventually break any drywall mounting methods loose after awhile. I rated this fate low due to the clumsy closing method which requires two hands and some fiddling to close. If you only need to open it occasionally you will probably be happy with the gate.

I woulg say yes as but the sturdiness of the gate will depend on the sturdiness of the posts. I have it mounted one side wall and one side post of a banister and have never had an issue.
