is it easy to open the panel and go in? I am wondering whether to buy this one or the one that comes with a gate (north states superyard colorplay ultimate)?

It is not that easy to pull apart. I think you can buy a gate section though. I just walked over it when using it. I also use it for doorways and blocking rooms of. You just have to zig zag it so it doesn't tip over.

It's very difficult to separate the panels. Got hurt several times stepping over the panels as they r quite high. Strongly suggest to get the unit w/a door panel.

No the panels are not easy to open. If you choose not to lift the child over and want easy no lift entry get the one eith the gate

You will need to purchase the photocells separately. The gate opener is designed to facilitate the photocell.

It is super easy to set up and take down once you get use to it. Your biggest issue would be storage it's not a lightweight travel gate. We also tie dark sheets to a corner to crate shade when we use it outside.

I think I found it on google, but what I did was drop front of track set it on short ladder. Took end off of track pulled out old one. Then I slid new one in place then activated opener to open. It sucked it right in. The you need to put back to gether. Then you have to make adjustments for open and close positions. Took about 30 minutes.

It is not difficult, just mildly time consuming. Took me about 2 hours but I did it incorrectly. Pay special attention to the directions in the beginning because you have to start with a particular panel on a particular edge of the side. From there it is a breeze.

If you pull the little blocker and lift it the gate should be really easy to open. You may need to oil the gate.

This gate (and I suspect all baby gates that swing out) is really easy to "lock" open with a small bungee cord. Put one end at one of the bars that doesnt move (on the hinge side of the gate door) and place the other end on a bar on the gate at the cords max extension without creating tension. I use a bright red cord, which against the white makes it more noticeable so that I dont forget it is open, as others have said could become a problem.

The controls are inside the door when you pop it open. There is a button on the outside to click to get an automatic one minute, that is what I usually use. It actually works (and looks) pretty slick.

What everyone else said. First time you don't think it will open, but it does. First pull is the hardest - it gets easier after that.

Yes--- it will take you all of 2 seconds to do it!! The bottom of the panels fit into a bottom hinge and is held in place by gravity. The upper hinge is held to the panel by a hinge pin that easily lifts out. A plastic cover holds this upper pin in place at either a 90 angle to, or in a straight line with, the adjacent panel-- really a versatile, good looking, and durable fence and gate system! Have had ours for almost a year now and it works like a charm keeping 4 dogs out of the kitchen area.

You can install it with a push button on the inside to open it. That's what I did. Yes it automatically locks when you close the gate.

Hi gjg,This part comes with the shell, the outer part separated in the same box, so you don't have to struggle with it to open it. The color is the factory color, I guess a prime in black. It was very easy for me to paint it, and to install it. I am not a pro.

You must install the gogogate unit next to the button that opens the gate or whatever opens the gate can not be out sides

Hi Raymond: No. It's all a one piece. It opens like an upside down umbrella. The "exoesqueleton" keeps it tightly in open or closed position with a click sound. Came with a bag for transport and 4 plastic tent pegs. No "front door" or curtain or whatsoever. Even so, my kid loves it.

It comes with everything you need to build the gate, but does not come with the 2 necessary "pin" hinge pieces. The "pin pieces" for a lack of a better name, attach to the post on the hinge side of your opening. The pieces that attach to the gate on the hinge side are included. These pieces have a loop that the pin fits in to create the complete hinge. A quick trip to your local hardware store will satisfy that need. I have two of these, and they work great. I would recommend them highly.

I pulled mine out to give it a try for you. You can flip that whole panel and put the rest together right side up. When opening the door/gate. The now bottom will probably rub on the floor/ground so I wouldn't recommend you do it on a surface you don't want scratched. I hope this answer helps with your decision of buying. I love mine. Good luck.

It comes with one door. perhaps they sell an extra door that you could replace with a panel. These is no key to the door. Does have a latch. Suppose if you were handy perhaps could replace latch with a locking one. We also used L brackets to attach it to our deck.
