How wide is the gate when fully retracted
1871388
With both halfs bolted together, the gate is 50" when retracted. Approximately the 53" as reported on the box. Fully extended, it is about 96" as reported.

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.

The gate will barely adjust to 48 inches. There is a wide range that it will not fit, from about 43 inches almost to 48 inches.

Thank you for your question. The mesh holes on each side of the gate are 1 1/4 inches wide and all other holes are 1 1/2 inches wide. Each mesh hole is 2 inches high.

With the panels, it easily fits a 5 ft opening. The actual gate is maybe 28-32 inches.

The pinch guard stops the gate at 24". Without the guard I'd estimate around 14-16". Measurements do not include the distance of the hinges from the gate to the wall (1 1/14").

My staircase was 48 inches wide, and it was a stretch getting it to fit. It has some flex at the extension point of the gate. Its been up at my house since Christmas, it has never failed, my 18 month old can shake it, and it wont open, I just make sure its not flexed too much if it gets banged into. Overall, I've been very happy with this product.

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.

First, we really like this gate. A well built and funtional product, better than most if not the best. However, this wide of an opening will be difficult. This gate works by pinching between the jambs of the opening creating a large pressure and compresssive force in the gate, enough to flex the gate substantially (way it is designed). With the wide opening the gate may become unstable. You could give it a go with three 10.5" extensions (10.5 x 3 + [28"-32"]) = 59.5"-63.5" opening.

As the description states, it will fit openings 29 1/2 inches to 35 inches. There are also extenders available for purchase to make the gate fit bigger openings.

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.

Hi Richard, According to the manufacturer, the gate clearance is 28 mm. Let me know if I can answer any other questions for you. Thank you! Julie Ready Project Customer Support 877-473-2394 M-F 8am - 4pm MST

At the top, with the gate open, the measurement from the hinge to the latch is exactly 17" (on mine). But that will depend on how much tension you have dialed in with the top two tension knobs. Could be a little less or more. The opening below the latch and hinge is 18.5" to 19", again, depending on how the upper tension knobs are set.

It comes with extensions. I don't know for sure how wide it makes the gate when both are used, but I would estimate 42-48 inches.

When the gate if fully extended there is a couple inches that could be taken off. However if as the gate retracts the top rail slides up, so there is no space. In other words, you would no longer be able to make the gate be less wide.

9 inches wide. 1.5 inch high. 11.5 inches when it is "closed" and 19 inches when it is pulled all the way out
