From all I can see this gate does not swing open....why then do they call it an "Extra Wide Swing Gate"?

Yes, it does swing out as you attach it to the wall on one side. It comes with instructions and needed hardware. Hope this helps!!

It does swing open. It attaches to the wall on both sides and there is metal hardware on the sides that latches to the wall hardware. But it isn't particularly sturdy or easy (for an adult) to latch and unlatch. Overall, it's an okay swing gate for a low traffic area but maybe not for an area where it would need to open and close frequently or where it may be left open.

It does swing both ways. There is no way to hold it open at the 90 deg mark. But it doesn't try and swing shut either. It's stays put for the most part.

We have this gate and we love it-it was a little difficult at first to open but it is good now. My husband said to make sure that the bottom bar is lined up w/the bottom of the gate before trying to close. Sorry we are not much help

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

The gate opens in both directions, but latches when it swings closed so it does not swing past closed

The hinges are fixed and can't not be adjusted. But depending on how you install the gate that it will swing open left or right.

It's more of a shock absorber than a height adjuster, set for the highest level and the gate will swing with it off of the ground unless the gate droops in which case it will stay on the ground as the gate droops. The travel is about an inch, but the spring will return to the set height.

(I don't own the gate) I would assume that the gate opens based on which side you install the arm... No way for the gate to know which side you put it on :-)

We have no play in our gate. None whatsoever. And it is not easily forced open. Ours swings out (or away), not into the property. I don't know if that makes a difference.

The gate slides open,it does not swing.You can step over it but it is not that easy.This is made very cheap.

No, it doesn't swing open when pressure mounted. I use it as temporary gate upstairs, for example when I have my bedroom door open but I don't want the kids to go inside, or the bathroom etc. we mounted it at the beginning but didn't like it. I got the auto close gate instead. As for your other question - I have no idea.

This gate has *no* automatic closures. You slide a thumb switch, then pull up on the gate and it will swing in or out. It may sound complex, but the whole maneuver is very intuitive.

The only think I can think of is to check to see how you have it adjusted for the span of the opening so that it is not putting pressure on the frame and distorting it to where the closure is binding up. Or, you can check the pins where the gate pivots and see if they are binding or need lubrication. I have not had ANY issue with opening / closing the gate.

Tighten both sides more so that the locking mechanism holds. If it is too loose, then the gate won't lock into place and hold.

It does swing both ways, but there is not a feature to keep it open. Also, it does not swing all the way back flush with the rest of the gate when open.

This gate has a small hole that the gate fits into to close. To open you pull up slightly and the door can than be swung in either direction.

I opens almost all the way, and swings in and out. I had to make a stopper so it would only open one way. Also, my dog is a small breed and can jump over it. I do not recommend.
