Does the gate "lock" in the extended length you choose, or does it expand/contract as you open or close it?

Will this gate keep out smaller pets? (kittens , small dogs, rabbits, etc.)

It does not lock in the extended length. It expands or contracts as you open or close it
1655848
It is adjustable as you open and close it. If I understand your question correctly, it does not lock to a certain width, but, rather, will retract as you need it.

It will hold the desired position fairly well when not latched but it does not "lock" at a certain length other than when gate is secured /closed

The gate locks at the other wall in two bracket locations. The bottom part clips in and the top clips and locks. I live in an old home with very narrow doorways and this gate was our only option. It actually works well in several doorways. It's not the prettiest gate but it is functional.

The gate expands and contracts as it is opened and closed. It does not lock to a particular size. It works great for us.

It doesn't lock into a specific width. It will accordion out (or in) to rest on a hook screw if you needed to block off a secondary area.

It expands and contracts as you open and close. It only stops when close it

No. I wish it did but it does not have a latch or anything to keep the gate open. You can keep it "unlocked" but have to make sure you do not let the gate slam or it will automatically lock.

It does lock out at full extension. It doesn't really lock in, but it isn't loose in a way where that would matter.

Hi Stephanie, Amazon asked me to answer this because we have three of these gates. I am not from the company. The answer depends on how you install it, but if you go as low as you can, the space is maybe an inch. There are two ways to close the gate. One just closed, where you could get more space by pushing on the gate (as my labrador retriever has found out and escaped through), and two, by locking it. When the gate is locked, you cannot get any slack at all (assuming everything you secure it to doesn't move- ha!) Hope that helps. Also, we have really liked our gates, and I would definitely recommend them. It takes a bit to get used to the locking mechanism, but once you do, they are great.

You have to adjust the gate width, make the gate fit little looser till it closes easilly. When it feels like you can't close it, the gate is too wide for the frame. Pushing the handle down makes the gate to expand, so if you already have a tight fit, it won't close. Hope this helps.

The 72" is correct. We had a wider opening to gate off as well so we bought the extensions, which are also on sale at Amazon. You can adjust and turn each section only to an extent to still ensure that the gate is stable. When you straighten out the product in question, the length is 72". We had a wider opening to gate off as well so we bought the extensions, which are also on sale at Amazon. With the extensions, this Configure Gate works great...better than any other we've tried.

Mine is on a gate and the hasp is bent therefore the longer shaft gives me more "wiggle" room as some one else termed it. I love this lock as the inside is not going to rust and become hard to unlock as all my other cheaper locks did. I have no opinion on a shorter length for the lock.

(I don't own the gate) I would assume that the gate opens based on which side you install the arm... No way for the gate to know which side you put it on :-)

Its expandable. But i don't think you can attach it to a 2nd gate. I had it block off our kitchen I fully expanded it to do that. Good luck

The side the gate opens to.... Keep it pretty much vertical.. All you want is the spring to move to its normal posistion to close gate..

Closed about 24", open to first locking position about 35", open to full extension about 39".

No, impossible. You need one hand to continually press and turn the locking lever down to release the lock, and the other hand to unhook and support the fabric section as you roll it to open or shut. You can't let go of the gate as you are opening it, otherwise it all flops down, and twists up as it reels in, which will then give you another problem, because if that happens it won't roll out flat with an equal tension top and bottom the next time you try to close it.

No, it does not. You must block the gate with something at the open position if you want it to remain open.

no that hasn't happened to me. Mine has a bit of trouble actually getting closed as it is so tight. We just shut it until it stops then push the buttons to close it the rest of the way. Otherwise we slam it shut and then it shuts just fine. We love the gate especially the fact that we can take it off and leave the brackets when we want to.

It comes with the extension, but it doesn't help if your opening is between 33-35", which is the crazy part. The gate fits 29-33" without the extension and 35-39" with the extension. This gate with or without the extension will NOT work with an opening between 33-35"!

Yes--these gates expand nicely. We've had ours up for about 7-8 months now, and continue to be quite pleased with their look and function.

The opening is 19 inches. The gate does not stay open on it's own. It is designed to close after you let go. I use a very small white bungy cord when I want it to stay open. I hope this helps!
