We have a clear opening of 42 inches. Is this gate wide enough? I thought I read somewhere it only fits up to 40 inches.

I just measured my opening and it measured 36 inches. I used every extension the gate comes with so i would have to agree that i do not believe the gate would fit anything over 40 inches...

Kacie, just off the top of my head, I really don't know or know if they have come out with wider gates. My opening is 34 3/4" with one extension. If you put a extension on both sides, maybe or if you added 2x4's on each side to pick up some slack you might be able to get the gate to work, but then you reach a point where the gate becomes a little weak, the whole gate. The better you can use the gate with out to much add ons (extensions) the more sturdy and stronger the gate. It is a great gate, maybe the mfg has made wider gates, would hurt to ask, like I say it is a great doggie gate and would work great for a child gate. bryan Kacie, just off the top of my head, I really don't know or know if they have come out with wider gates.

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"!

I can't really visualize the area you are talking about. However the gate is 48 inches long and 19 inches high. I have 3 in my home, one at the living room, one at the dining room, and one at the family room entrance. It does great keeping my husky and pug out of those rooms. I would say my doorways are 45 inches wide and these work great.

Hi, this gate is 41" tall (a little more than 1m); you can adjust the opening from 29 to 40"; I had to adjusted at the maximum because my dog was able to open the door; this gate is pretty strong but my dog can jump very high, so it didn't work for me however I believe this produc may work for little kids

We had the same question when we bought it. When it came we were very happy because it is actually 40 inches wide and 30 inches tall. It will cover a 36 inch door with plenty of angle to stand up properly. The hinges swing both ways so it is also easy to get through. It also came with two extra hinges to attach it to the wall if desired. Our dog is large but does not push against it at all so we just let it stand free by itself. We have been very happy with it.

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.

There's a larger one available, ie, for wider openings. But since this one says it fits up to 32" you'd need at least 40" of extension.

I also say no. I am surprised to see that the product description states that this gate would work for a 55" doorway. Fully extended I measure about 53", just as the previous poster did.

I am not at home to measure the gate opening but I do believe it is what they say it is. I am very satisfied with the opening, comfortable to go through. Door swings both directions. I have the 60 in fence and gate. Anything really huge items can be lifted over the fence/gate area or remove the whole thing. If you are not satisfied with this answer please feel free to let me know, in the meantime I will measure my gate and if it differs from 23 inches I will try to let you know somehow. Jeri

Details say for up to 40.5 inches, but extensions can be added. I do like the gate. Opens easily both ways and closes easily with the latch.

We have a 45" opening and have both the 8" and 4" extenders on and the tensioners pretty extended. It is pretty secure, unless someone runs into it or really lays into it. Sounds like with a 41" opening, you would use what you described and it should be fine. We love this gate!

The manufacturer states 48" maximum. Two possible solutions with this gate, which we like a lot, are as follows. One would be to buy two gates,as there are multiple extensions, which might work, but would be expensive unless you need two gates one opening 49" and one less than 45". The other solution,which should work, would be to get two 3/4" boards that are at least 34" long and at least 2" wide to place next to each wall and the gate pressure would hold them in place. They could be painted the wall color. We use them in 35", 36.5" and 39 " openings so there is definitely flexibility. Hope these thoughts help!

That's going to be too narrow. I just measured my gate and without the screw mounts it's 27.5" wide

The safety gate is 41 inches tall and can fit openings between 29-1/2 and 34 inches wide. It also includes a 6-inch extension kit to increase the width up to 40 inches.

Amelia, this gate will open wide to approximately 102" When fully expanded. It has four panels that are approximately 28" each. When fully compressed two of the panels butt together at their ends, so the smallest opening it can fit in is approximately 60" with the mounting hardware. If you have an opening less than 60" you will need to use one of the gates that doesn't expand as far and has narrower panels. I love this gate. We use it outside on the porch for our two dogs and it works great.

There are no available extensions for this gate. Make sure the available length fits your space before you order. At 52 inches it is not going to be as sturdy as you would like it to be. It will be stretched thin.
