is the castle supposed to snap shut?

I'm not sure why it's constructed this way unless it attaches to the Snow White cottage

I don't think it is. I've tried over and over and it doesn't seem to want to :-)

I can't get it to - but it seems like it is supposed to based on the tabs on the ends.

Correct. It doesn't seem to close completely. But when you lay your feet on it, it does shut. The hinge is just too tight.

I don't have a problem with it staying closed. I really like it, it's sturdy and pretty. The light works great!

I have taken mine off a couple times, but you have to pry it off. It doesn't just open up and snap shut.

No not just you...that was my only complaint. I don't snap it completely closed for that very reason.

Yes, but have a out of the way place for it and I would leave it closed as the castle to avoid mishaps

Once you secure the gate in place the latch will close. The gate needs the pressure from the wall/stairs to cinch up the gate. If the gate doesn't latch, you do not have the gate tight enough. Good luck! It's a great gate!

It has 2 different holes for the pin at the top that you choose based upon the strength of close required. It does have a pump action close, meaning it will not slam shut from a fully open position. Whether it will close soft enough for your child proof concerns is something probably based upon the weight of your door.

Yes, but it automatically 'pops' open unless it is held shut with a heavier object.

Yes thereis. By hittinh the hold button the door stays up. Hit it again and the timer counts down from 30 seconds and the door closes

Yes they are supposed to snap closed. I had to work a long time and push really hard to get them to do that. It still didn't work for me. I just never could get it to seal like I think it is supposed to do. Maybe it is just me, but I wouldn't buy them again.

No that's not normal. Mine snaps shut with a loud snap and stays closed. Its pretty tight. I really have to push it down hard to snap shut. It gets tight again after I wash it in dishwasher. Air dry so it doesn't melt.

In my experience, the lid shuts fine, but you do have to make sure you hear it "snap" closed all the way.

The ones in the center of the panels do - the corner windows have a elastic latch to close them from memory. It shuts up pretty tight when everything is closed up

Sadly no, default is to have it auto close. I used a bungie cord to do this though
