I need to gate a 72 inch stairway opening. Can I use two extensions with this model?

If there is a solid wall type of structure on each side to firmly attach the extensions to framing the gate, then possibly it would hold up. I don't think you could expect it to be strong enough with two extensions attached together and then the gate. I have it attached to stucco walls on each side and it works great, but I think if it were attached to a string of extensions it would not hold up as well. I hope that helps. But I would call the manufacturer to ask them- it's a good product, but as I do not use the extensions I can't say for sure.

Not 100% sure! I used them on 2 4" wide x 8' high gates and they worked great. I would suggest you try it on one gate for a few months and if it works well, then install it on the other. Make sure you mount it on the hinged side and I would recommend that you do not exceed a 45 degree angle. Hope this helps!

The extensions work fine, but if you add too many you will need to reinforce each connection. My husband attached small steel plates to each connection to reinforce the gate. It would swing and bow when our daughter would grab a hold of it, with the reinforcements it holds great. Hope this helps!!

Yes. I'm using it in an opening that's 36". The dimensions say you can use it in an opening that's minimum 29" to 34" the gate itself...and a max of 50" if you add the attachments in case u need it in a bigger opening. I had to add the small attachment to the gate in order to make it into my 36" opening.

The way you see the gate pictured will fit a 48" opening which actually has one extension on it. The gate without the extension will not fit 48" because it is the gate only with maybe 2" on each side of it.

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.

Yes we do offer an extension to this gate. It is recommended to not use more than three extensions per gate.

The extensions are very small not big enough for 62" I would say they would add another couple inches at the most .. I had to purchase two extensions for an 42" opening

The manufacturer states 48" maximum. Two possible solutions with this gate, which we like a lot, are as follows. One would be to buy two gates,as there are multiple extensions, which might work, but would be expensive unless you need two gates one opening 49" and one less than 45". The other solution,which should work, would be to get two 3/4" boards that are at least 34" long and at least 2" wide to place next to each wall and the gate pressure would hold them in place. They could be painted the wall color. We use them in 35", 36.5" and 39 " openings so there is definitely flexibility. Hope these thoughts help!

I used this gate at the top of a stairway, with the one side attached to the wall and the opening side overlapping the bannister and a divider on the other side of the stairway opening. Unable to visualize your setup, though, I can't answer that question.

the gate measures about 28 1/2" then you will need th right extentions. You can put the extentions on either side. the actual opening is around 20" they will adjust up to around 2" just dot go to large for your opening because it will ajust out 2" on each side

I have a 61 inch opening with two extensions. I don't know about the 48" opening. It should be a pretty standard opening. Call the company and tell them what you need.

I believe it can be as wide as 72 inches. We used ours for a 52" wide opening, and we didn't even use the included extensions.

The previous person answered pretty much what I would have. I also have 2 because of the top and bottom of my stairs being irregular - each in it's own strange way. Each gate is configured in different shapes to be able to block off the areas and both work extremely well. The joints can be positioned in many angles. One tip to consider in measurements - since this is not pressure mounted (that wouldn't have worked for my situations), you'll need to angle these in a way that each end is installed into a wall stud.

The product description says it will fit and opening from 29-1/2" to 35". I believe my staircase opening is 32" and this gate fits well without the extension. You can see my installation at this link:

I think I expanded mine to 72in, it comes in 4 pieces (5 with the door gate). I dont see why not? I think you can use any amount of pieces you want. I had to use all 4. You can adjust all of them. So im almost positive it should work for you.
