Is the door hard to open and close?

No, it is a bit finicky sometimes, but overall I love having the gate. I can open it with one hand, and it is much easier on my back, and safer than trying to climb over carrying my grandbaby! Just make sure the hinges between the gate and the panels are straight, if not it is very difficult to open and close. I had one set wrong and was cursing the darn thing until I realized what was happening. I leave it open a lot so that my granddaughter who is 10 months can go in and out, which she enjoys. I only close it when necessary.

It sticks a bit. There are two actions-- slide the top latch to the side, then lift upwards before opening. Best to do it before picking up the baby to get out. I do not lock it all the way if we are not inside.

Yes, it's a pain in the butt. It takes me two hands, which means I can't do it while holding a baby. I end up stepping over it half the time instead... Precarious for someone short like me with a child in arms! It doesn't latch easily... Doesn't line up without jiggling.

Depends on how little. I would say easier to open then to close but still a bit tough. really depends on the individual.

very easy but you have to take the door off the hinges.It come with nails but I used screws to put it on the bottom of the door. The door is air tight now.

No, the doors do not open and shut. But on a mishap, the top of the cab popped off when he dropped it but snaps back on. So my son will take it on and off to get the people in and out.

Hi Nancy. Once that door drops (closes) - it isn't opening up, being pushed in, out - or other wised open; unless done so with the collar - or manually through the panel.

Yes, the door closes and opens quietly. There is a slight rolling sound but nothing more than an ordinary door would make when you close it completely.

no you have to physically open and shut the gate. to open you have to push down these two parts at the same time , to close you have to lift the gate a little and place this little part in the hole.

I had very slight issues...but after closing and opening the door several times, it seem to have give a little; and now I don't have that problem anymore. It's just a bit tighter, but it closes all the way.

It is not that difficult. YouTube videos are helpful. Getting the door open is only difficult thing. It was a little tricky

I dont know about easily, but my 6 yr old has no problem. Also, my almost 3 yrs old figured out how to open it today. It takes a fair amount of strength to lift and open.

The doors only slide inwards, towards the opening in the center. Thus only one door can be fully opened at a time - which is a bit of a hassle sometimes. And it's pretty much black, maybe not totally, but it goes fine with my black equipment.

It would be difficult but not inconceivable. However, I would save your money or buy something else that will actually have a door that stays closed.

Yes, gate is easy to open. I simply lift up the lath and move the gate forward or backwards to enter.

The door does not close automatically. It opens both ways. Once it reaches the middle there's a stopper, so you have to lift up and over the cross-bar.

Very easy... simply lift up on the door slightly and swing it open. It locks on its own when it swings closed.
