Can this be used as a stand alone (not attached to the wall) gate? Does it have pressure connectors?

No it needs to be mounted to the wall. Also we had to drill holes and mount to the floor, otherwise my daughter could shake it and it would open right up. But we love it and it works great and looks nice

It does not have pressure connectors. We use it without attaching it to the wall as a barrier to separate feuding cats. It does require that it not be in a straight line, that one of the panels is at an angle. it would not be safe to use it in this fashion around children.

This gate requires pressure from both walls to squeeze it together. There are extensions to add to the ends so it fits your space better.

It can be pressure mounted. However when we did just pressure mount it our german shepherd was able to push it through. You can't make it really tight because of the door. We ended placing the cups with screws in to secure the door. It works great. I don't even care about the holes since the gate works great. Love it. If your dog doesn't push up against it I it's a big dog or if you have a smaller dog I think the pressure mounts might work though. If its a big dog & he jumps or pushes it, it will not be secure. Hope this helps.

I woulg say yes as but the sturdiness of the gate will depend on the sturdiness of the posts. I have it mounted one side wall and one side post of a banister and have never had an issue.

Yes that is how my gate is designed. It will work fine! Be careful not to loose the springs that come with it. Very good latch that should last outlast the gate.

It would depend upon how much force your child would use to open the gate (pushing instead of raising the latch) as well as how you have it attached on either side. I have one side that is not screwed in--just uses pressure against the wall and with enough pushing pressure, you can push down the gate.

Yes. The only free-standing gate that spans this width are the wood ones with long "feet". It is much too wide for a pressure gate to work.

Probably not. I wasn't impressed with this gate. It nearly pulled out of the wall the first time we opened it. I followed the directions to the letter. It was very hard to use in an area with a lot of traffic.

We screwed ours into the wall. It was a life saver. After years of battling with pressure gates and stepping over them at the top of a dangerous stairs, this one is light weight enough to screw into the wall and not pull out of the dry wall. I LOVE this gate! It easily swings open or can be pushed inward to make it smaller to get through.

Yes. It takes a little time so you may want to look into a pressure mounted gate that opens instead. But I do move this gate regularly.

no - a peg is inserted to connect the extension to the gate. Must be straight.

It's a pretty generic setup. It should work with any type of gate that you screw into the wall. The product is basically a piece of wood you screw into the plastic clamps, then you screw your gate into the wood.

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

I don't see why you couldn't attach the gates together. I don't have two but I think it would work fine.

I have the "Summer Multi-Use Deco Extra Tall Walk-Thru Gate, Bronze", which is essentially a prior model of this gate. The hardware mount is simply a plastic cup about two inches diameter and 1/4" thick, with a hole in the center for passing a screw into the drywall. The gate still mounts with pressure using the same pressure pads when using the hardware mount, they just sit inside the plastic cups which provide some extra security by prevent the gate from slowly scooting along the wall over time. The wall (or whatever you're attaching to) still needs to be strong enough to support the pressure (which is substantial). Hope this helps.

Yes, the gate has screws on both ends that extend out and applies pressure to hold it in place. Sounds bad and not sturdy but it's actually perfect for pets or kids without damaging the house. It also makes it easy to install almost anywhere.

Yes, I would think that would be fine. Both the top and bottom mounts screw in the wall and have a bolt that can be adjusted for width tightness. Very nice gate.
