How much clearance is needed between the gate and the jam?

I'm not sure. However, my sense is that there can be a good deal of clearance and the gate will still secure (about 1 inch). On my gate the clearance is small, about 1/16th of an inch and the gate works cleanly.

1/2" should do fine, will leave about 1/8" clear. If your gate post clearance is less than that, you could recess the post bracket by chiseling a slot, maybe get by with 1/4" or 3/8". Remember to leave little extra room though, post swell up when it rains.

I had to notch the board 7/16 - 1/2" to clear the latch bracket and the bolt heads.

If the gap is between the gate and the panel that touches the wall then the pegs that fasten it against the wall need to be tightened. Top and bottom pegs must be tightened the same. If the top is not tightened as much as the bottom it will leave a gap at the top that keep the latch from closing.

2 inches between the bars. You might have an issue with the ends depending on the width of your door. Best gate for chihuahuas!

I believe the opening can be no more than 72" so you should be fine. My opening is 59 1/2 and I left off one section of the gate not to be used. Nice and sturdy. We have no complaints about the gate as long as you can secure attach each end solidly into the wall you should be good.

I have purchased and assembled this gate but I am not familiar with the piece you are referring to. Feel free to email me directly if you have yet to figure it out. I can say that I had to drill a wider hole in our concrete to fit the piece that drops into the ground, assuming that is what you were referring to.

On the box it says use from 31 inches to 50 inches. it closes to about 27 (the bumpers add an extra inch from the 26" gate).

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").

It is barely 1 1/2" clearance, but, the unit is so sturdy, and glides so easily, that it might be worth shimming so you could use it. This one works much better than another I purchased from a different source.

You have to take the gate down. It just wedges between the door or wall or whatever you place it between.

With the terminal posts I would say that you need at least 8.5 inches clearance. 9 inches would be better.

the book says a minimum clearance of 3 inches is required between the oven and any adjacent walls, one side must be open leave a clearance of 12 inches above the oven

the gate measures about 28 1/2" then you will need th right extentions. You can put the extentions on either side. the actual opening is around 20" they will adjust up to around 2" just dot go to large for your opening because it will ajust out 2" on each side

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.

The gate needs to come down completely to pass through. It is a tension gate, not permanent.

Space between slats is just short of 2 inches. I love this gate- holding up great and super light and non intrusive.

About 2 feet. The instructions suggest something like 5 feet of clearance all around.

51 1/2" is the max for this gate, per the specs. I have one in a 50" opening and have more than an 1 1/2" that I could go larger or smaller, so it should do the trick.
