The width of the top of my staircase is 35.5". I read that the gate fits up to 37", but is that true or am I going to have to purchase extensions?

I have the gate set in a 38" opening with all the included parts minus the Y adaptor that I needed for the wrought iron rail. Please note though that per the manufacturer's warning, this gate isn't intended to be at the top of stairs (this listing doesn't really point that out very clearly IMHO). Admittedly I have mine at the top of the stairs as well because y adaptor/wrought iron allows me to put a ton of pressure at the ends. That being said though the lower bar is about 0.75" high and the 21.5" gate opening is narrow when carrying a baby or other items. Factor in having to negotiate stairs... you might want to consider a model intended for that area....

Someone else said their doorway measures 27 1/2" and the gate wouldn't go that small. Even when adjusted. It was too big.

I had a 32" opening and the doors came in at 31". I thought that's how a 36" worked, it comes smaller but probably not in your case. plain the doors down or send them back

I don't think so. This gate is 44 inches and the expansion panels allow it to go up to 72". I think using it at 72" would be a stretch, it would be wobbly at 72".

I have this gate in 30" doorway. I don't know about the maximum width. I was a little concerned that the gate might be too wide for the doorway, but it works fine. However, the cat we wanted to confine somehow managed to jump over the gate. We solved that problem by getting another (shorter) gate and installing it upside down over this one to make a sort of a door.

gate only fits nicely in 31 - 32 inch opening. if your opening is 63", you will need 31 - 32 inches of extensions. I don't know what the extension width is.

It should fit. We have the gate on our front porch where the measurement between the posts is just under 48". We did not even use the extra section, so you should be able to adapt it.

I just checked the other question/ answers for the size opening and one reviewer was adamant that the widest opening for this gate is 40 inches. You definitely need to look for a longer gate. It will not be secure.

The gate is too wide for a regular staircase. I had to put a small bench in front of it to keep the gate upright. It is good for doorways and decks.

Our opening is 30" wide but the gate came with two 8 1/2" extensions which we did not use - that would be 46" - so no as it comes out of the box. I bet manufacturer will sell you a third extension (smaller?). I would contact them for sure. Its a great product.

It will fit by adding all but the 6" extensions included but all 4 screws are almost open at full length and it is not very stable enough for the gate latch to close. The 6" makes it too big! We may have to buy a 4" extension, what a hassle. Plus the gate latch design is not great. It really takes two hands if you want it locked. Ours is also 55".

My stairway opening is exactly 33" counting the hardware installed. This gate is adjustable, but check to be sure on the specs, minimum opening.But i love this gate!!!!!!! Hope this helped

The instruction sheet states that without extensions it will fit 28"-31.5". With one extension it will fit 31.5"-35.5". With two extensions it will fit 35.5"-38.5". My opening was just over 33" so I had to use the gate with one extension. Hope that helps.

Yes it will fit. You will definitely use both extensions, but this will allow the gate to be centered and look much nicer imo.

We have two gates. The height for both is about 30". One gate is 33" wide and the other is about 50" wide. They are adjustable. I suggest that you call the company and tell them exactly how wide your doorway is and they'll be happy toanswer your questions. I have been very pleased with the gates. They are very sturdy. We have a Yorkie and he can'tfit through the bars because they are close enough together. On other gates the bars are too far apart.

Yes- The gate will go to 72''. We purchased 4 gates and we have them all adjusted to different lengths.We are very happy and will order more. One was missing the hardware so we called the # on the box and they sent it right away.

This gate is very versatile and would fit an entrance within the 3ft 6 inches range to 3ft 8 inches. I had mine mounted on the first step of my staircase and not at the base. However this gate can be adjusted well to suit any length you want to achieve. I'm not too handy so I got a handy man to do it for me.
