Does the side the gate retracts into need to be mounted in a wall stud?

No. I don't have mine in a wall stud and my two year old has yet to break through. Just make sure you affix the screws in with the screw studs.

NO...standard door only I'm afraid. And to be honest, this thing would be more stable bolted into the wall or screwed into the door. The middle arches a bit from the door.

I mounted it horizontal. I had to cut part of the stud. It wasn't an issue at all beyond cutting. Took a few minutes to do

You would need to fasten a piece of trim wood to the wall (into the stud) and then hang the gate on the piece of trim. The open/close side of the gate must be hung perpendicular (90 deg. angle) to the wall to close correctly.

When you mount it, you attach it to the walls with screws so you can always take it down and reuse it. You can also take the gate down but leave the wall mount in the wall if you want to temporarily take the gate down but put it back up later (like if you want to light a fire etc). Just a side note: the screws they supply are useless so you'll need to get longer ones if you are looking to use the wall mount.

It really depends on the circumference of the banister not the material. One side of the gate should be secure into a wall with a stud or some kind of anchor like a 2x4 though.

I was able to attach it to the banister on one side and then used a wooden block the thickness of the molding on the wall side to make the gate even. On another one I was able to just use the screws that extend on the wall side to make up for the difference between the molding and the wall.

The gate comes with the hardware to mount it on the wall. That being said, unless your house has studs that perfectly match up on both walls your will probably need to get some heavy duty drywall anchors. I also decided to get slightly longer and stronger screws than the ones provided...but that's just because I am paranoid about safety.If you want to install it on a banister without screwing into the banister I believe they sell and additional kit for that.

Not really. You can mount it as a swing gate, but it would be hard to fasten if the bannister is in the way.

I used drywall screws (instead of the screws that come with it), and it seems pretty secure in the drywall. The mounting holes are about 28" apart, so you will not be able to get both sides in a stud. It's not that heavy though, so it shouldn't be a problem.

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.

It really does need to be screwed into the wall. It doesn't come with pressure mounts but I used some from another gate and it worked ok.

If installed properly. It has to be anchored in the wall and if they don't shake it constantly . We didn't install it right ( we are not handy) and my 15 month old pulled the screws out of the wall by shaking and rocking the gate

You don't *need* to screw it into the wall, but it comes with screws. I have 2 rather rambunctious cats that will pull on the gate if I'm on the other side of it for too long. Without it being mounted to the wall, they would, without a doubt, pull it down on a daily basis.

Sorry, I can not help you with that. I really like the gate but I did not have to attach on angle. My suggestion would be try attaching a 2 x 4 piece of wood to the wall and then drill the gate into the wood. It is only a suggestion, I can't be sure if that will solve your problem.

The gate is pressure mounted but they do provide the equipment to screw it in the wall. If you are putting in an actual doorway, you can use the wood that create the door seal to keep it from moving from the dog weight. But if you are putting in a plain hall way opening you will have to use the equipment to hold it in place if you think your pups will put their weight on the gate. Hope that helps you.

It does not have to be. It Comes with necessary hardware to mount on a drywall. If there will be lot of movement then it is always better to mount on a stud. I mounted mine on a stud.
