can you open the latch with one hand and can you remove the gate easily if your not using it ?

Yes you can remove the gate very quickly when not in use. I also can open it with one hand if needed.

The gate works well for us and even my 48 year old husband has a bit of difficulty opening it. Honestly, it would probably be quite difficult for either child to open but not impossible. The latch is a basic lever type latch. You push the lever down and a claw latch opens. You still have to maneuver it out of the eye hook that it is in. So, it would be difficult, but a determined four year old may eventually get it. I have to say that it's worth the try. It is a great gate and you can remove it from the eye hooks if you want to take it down for a bit.

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?

No the lock is on the top of the gate door. You just slide it to the side and lift a little. There's no outside lock. It doesnt open all that easily but we've made it work just fine.

Yes. It is very easy to open. You just lift the door a little, and push open.

I don't think a 4 year old could open it. You have to pull the latch up while simultaneously lifting the gate door off a piece at the bottom. It is easy to operate once you get the hang of it but does require some strength. I do highly recommend this gate -- high quality, works well, looks nice, and the stay open feature is great.

This curio has a single door that closes securely into the latch. You don't need to worry about it popping open. It requires significant amount of pull to open the door.

You have to squeeze two buttons together on the locking mechanism and push down simultaneously to open the gate. You must also mount the latch on the wall accordingly.

This gate stays open but it opens only one way as there is a lip on the latch that stops it from swinging both directions.

I don't use the small door but it looks like you could take it off, can't say for sure. You could easily use something to tie it to the rest of the gate to keep it open as long as it's something other pets (if you have any) can't chew If you try to take it off it might break the other part of the gate but it's worth a try. Good luck!

Unless your dog has opposable thumbs it won't be able to open this gate. There is a latch on top of the gate that prevents it from being lifted up.

We've had no problem opening or closing it with one hand. It has never popped open over the past 6 months we've had the mailbox installed.

It's pretty easy for me to open it with one hand, although it took a little getting used to. With minimal practice, I can deploy it very quickly with one hand.

Yes, you release the latch, give it a couple of spins and the window is free to open.

It doesn't latch automatically. You must press the downward until you hear it click. Then to open it, you squeeze the latch from the top to release it. It actually works best if you squeeze down on the release button while simultaneously pulling up on the gate. Hope that makes sense.

Not with one hand, but it's a one hand open. There are great videos on youtube that show all the features and how to use.
