Would a wheelchair fit through this gate? It is large electric wheelchair. If not can you recommend another safey gate? Thanks so much!

I have no problems. My gates are at each end of my hall. Hooks just a half an inch in on either side. You will have to swing it open as only collapses to 1 1/2 to 2 feet.

The chair itself is an excellent quality chair but alas it cannot fit thru a 30 inch door way. It is the larger wheels outside the chair that do not fit. If the doorway was 32 inches it would fit but the chair is comfortable, sturdy and roomy. the way my house is designed, the chair fits thru all doorways in my house except for the bathroom door and I go to the doorway and then use a walker the rest of the way in but sorry it won't go thru a doorway less than 32 inches.

I agree with Wendy B. below. I have two of the carts and I pass through a 41 inch gate with no problems. They are very handy, but do keep them under cover as they will rust. I've had to "overhaul" my oldest one as I hung to on the fence for storage and that was a mistake.

I am using this for a child- size manualwheelchair. I am using bungee cords to secure it. I have had no problems with the wheelchair staying secure. It really does not take very long to load the wheelchair, probably less time than it takes to load my daughter.

Hi there. I actually ended up getting rid of the gate and ordered a retractable mesh gate for our dogs. It was easy to manipulate but we did not like the look of it when open. The retractable ones are for our two pooches just enough of an impasse. Good luck.

I think he could probably fit through. However, this product is absolute junk. The whole thing came apart. All of the slats fell out and it collapsed. Please do NOT buy it. It's a waste of your money and you'll regret it. Look for another gate.

I wish I could help you with this. I have the same gate and can open it and close it with one hand. Is it possible that it may not be alligned right?

Yes, the gate stores electronically, which is really easy. Please be forewarned, if you have a300# capacity chair, check the weight capacity for the SWING AWAY COMPONENT. Then add the scooter and the lift weight.... They aren't kidding. Mine started to bend rather quickly ibn my opinion, but if used WITHOUT the SWING AWAY, I AM fairly convinced that it would be fine. As for the SWING AWAY, I'm sorry to say that as the disabled 38 year old, with a 5 year old, can barely lift the gate and the swing arm to get it above the latch to secure it. Thank god for strapping young boys!

You can use this with any gate. I was not able to use this because of the circumference of the post we have so make sure to double check the measurements. If you are interested in mine let me know.

Yes, I rec'd what is pictured and desribed. I also made a web buying mistake of not checking the measurements before buying. I followed the incorrect extra wide heavy duty description. The listing says "Total Width of the seat is 22.5" Width between handles is 18", Depth (front to back) 13.5"." 18" seats in wheelchairs are standard not wide and rarely hold 250 lb people. If it was 22.5 and had no handles it might hold 400lb. Good luck.

Christine,Would not recommend it for a large dog that might be jumping onto the top of the gate if you are planning to open and close it on a regular basis. Have my gate at the base of the stairs to keep two older Labs downstairs with a 38 inch opening. Had to keep adjusting the level of the gate till I trained the children not to push down on the gate. Can provide photos of the gate if requested.Still would give it 5 stars for a temporary gate. With 8 and 4 year old children their weight pulling down on the top end by the latch during opening and closing the gate would cause it to not latch.

Hi, the ramp is great, but I think the problem you will have is with your car door. It probably won't open wide enough for you to securely fit the ramp. The ramp needs to sit flush, and straight out from the car, for it to be safe. I Hope you find a way, our doggies are dear to us.

I measured the outside edge of the wheels which measured 2 feet 10 inches across. This would be your biggest problem if your gate is not this wide. The nylon mesh is wider than this but you would be able to squeeze it through. It is not a rigid mesh - so you could put less leaves if needed. Hope this helps.

My hips are quite wide and I can get through. You can always go through by turning a bit to the side. I think a wider gate door wouldn't have enough stablity for a standard doorway sized opening. The side panels would be quite slim, but they are the ones the hold the pressure.

I am not sure we didn't end up using ours as it was too big and too late to return it by the time we found out. Make sure the width is smaller than the safe door when opened, not closed. :)

Because the legs elevate, it's still pretty bulky when collapsed. Might want to look at one with fixed legs that is lighter and smaller. Seemed easy to put together but I work in healthcare and have dealt with wheelchairs of all types for 25 years.

If an electric wheelchair is the same width as a normal wheelchair it should fit
