How wide is the actual opening that the gate provides for adults to come and go through?

With the door open there is an 18.5 inch opening. This includes the actual space the hinge takes up in the opening

The opening is 21"; but, with the door open, it is really only 20". I doubled checked my measurements. Not sure where the 18" came from on the previous answer.

The "front" door opening is 18 inches wide, 17.5 inches high, diagonal is slightly less than 24 inches. The "side" door opening is 16 inches wide, 17 inches high, diagonal is slightly less than 23 inches.

I just checked the other question/ answers for the size opening and one reviewer was adamant that the widest opening for this gate is 40 inches. You definitely need to look for a longer gate. It will not be secure.

Standard doorway openings are 30". This little guy has a width "wheel" clearance of 24.5".Gets around great, even over 1.5" thresholds. CQ

It is 30" wide and 60" long fully expanded. That should easily fit thru any gate. I didn't measure, but it's about waist height when full of leaves or clippings. Rolls easily on approx 6@ diameter wheels.

Actual total width is 17.5", made for a typical 18" opening. This is a high quality product, works great.

Although I don't have the actual dimensions, I know my Dad has no trouble going through doorways when he visits our home. We have standard 32" door openings and there is still room on either side when he walks through.

The main part of the gate measures 26.5 in. It will not work on just a 24in opening.

I haven't measured it, but I can assure you it's too wide for the average door. nevertheless, it's made my life sooo much easier!. Plus, it's a place to sit that I know will hold me.

There is no gate to walk through, but the sides unhinge and fold in so you can go through the side. Also the gate is fairly low and can be stepped over. (I am 5'10" and it is not a problem to just step over it.)

Largest opening is a hair over 3 1/4". It's where the extensions are, towards the edges. Where the gate is has real little openings.

Its minimum is 26" and it goes up to 50" in width. So if you have a narrow area that you are trying to close off, this is not the gate for you.

The safety gate is 41 inches tall and can fit openings between 29-1/2 and 34 inches wide. It also includes a 6-inch extension kit to increase the width up to 40 inches.

I am not at home to measure the gate opening but I do believe it is what they say it is. I am very satisfied with the opening, comfortable to go through. Door swings both directions. I have the 60 in fence and gate. Anything really huge items can be lifted over the fence/gate area or remove the whole thing. If you are not satisfied with this answer please feel free to let me know, in the meantime I will measure my gate and if it differs from 23 inches I will try to let you know somehow. Jeri

Thank you for your question. The Expandable Swing Gate can fit into openings between 24 and 60 inches wide.

I have mine fully extended and it measured 30 1/2". That is the gate itself, the hardware to open and close it is just shy of 36"

My opening was 36 1/2" and 35 1/2" at the baseboard. Worked well with the extension inserted. The 35 1/2" at the baseboard adjustment was almost all the way in on the adjustment, would only be able to go another 3/8" smaller. Very happy with the gate. We use it for our dog, the only issue is with the openings which are tapered at the top and bottom. It is possible for a pet to get their paws caught or wedged in there. I put heavy plastic ties at the top of the taper so they could not slide into the smaller opening.
