I need a gate for a 48.5" wide doorway. Looks like with the extensions included, this gate might work. How does the install for the extensions?

there are 3 swappable extender sections. One is 4 bars wide. One is 2. One is 1. They can be swapped from either side. Our worked well with 4 on one side and 2 on the other. Its much stronger now. We tried with 4 on one side and just 1 on the other and it was wobbly

My staircase was 48 inches wide, and it was a stretch getting it to fit. It has some flex at the extension point of the gate. Its been up at my house since Christmas, it has never failed, my 18 month old can shake it, and it wont open, I just make sure its not flexed too much if it gets banged into. Overall, I've been very happy with this product.

Best gate by far for value! Per my previous post it holds my two 80lb dogs nicely...the extensions are fairly straight forward for you if you can figure out Ikea-like directions!

See my review on this gate. It is horrid and can be a safety issue. This gate is unusual because it CAN be perfect for some people's opening but a complete disaster for others. Also, do not use this gate for stairs. It is NOT positive hardware. My review explains it much better. There are Far better gates for the money.

It is the best. Others are weak and don't hold up. This one with the extension slides into place and also has on top and bottom braces to connect both pieces together.

The unit comes in three pieces, each piece is attached to help achieve the desired width you need. You can leave off one or two of the pieces to the closest desired width. After that there are 4 bolts that are adjustable to help secure the unit into the opening.

Installing it is pretty easy with the extensions. Mine needed to fit out 46" opening and we used all but 1 extension. You add each extension individually and then use the tension screws to make t tight. The instructions are a little confusing but it's the best gate around!

My opening is 39 inches and i am only using one extension. 40 inches will work with both extensions. I like it but feel for the price it should be better. The wood on mine is greenish and the side with the latch could be sturdier. The adjustable part is the problem if extended as far as it goes.

If the door is over 7 feet in height you will need the extension. It replaces a shorter part of the bar and the belt. Its easy enough to install - but I would prefer that they sell a model for 8 foot doors - as I am paying some for a part I can't use.

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

The product description says it will fit and opening from 29-1/2" to 35". I believe my staircase opening is 32" and this gate fits well without the extension. You can see my installation at this link:

The manufacturer states 48" maximum. Two possible solutions with this gate, which we like a lot, are as follows. One would be to buy two gates,as there are multiple extensions, which might work, but would be expensive unless you need two gates one opening 49" and one less than 45". The other solution,which should work, would be to get two 3/4" boards that are at least 34" long and at least 2" wide to place next to each wall and the gate pressure would hold them in place. They could be painted the wall color. We use them in 35", 36.5" and 39 " openings so there is definitely flexibility. Hope these thoughts help!

I hope this helps.

Yes, the extension is included, but I did not need to use it for my doorway! Love the walk-through gate!!!

I have a 61 inch opening with two extensions. I don't know about the 48" opening. It should be a pretty standard opening. Call the company and tell them what you need.

The extensions are very small not big enough for 62" I would say they would add another couple inches at the most .. I had to purchase two extensions for an 42" opening

I believe it can be as wide as 72 inches. We used ours for a 52" wide opening, and we didn't even use the included extensions.

Kacie, just off the top of my head, I really don't know or know if they have come out with wider gates. My opening is 34 3/4" with one extension. If you put a extension on both sides, maybe or if you added 2x4's on each side to pick up some slack you might be able to get the gate to work, but then you reach a point where the gate becomes a little weak, the whole gate. The better you can use the gate with out to much add ons (extensions) the more sturdy and stronger the gate. It is a great gate, maybe the mfg has made wider gates, would hurt to ask, like I say it is a great doggie gate and would work great for a child gate. bryan Kacie, just off the top of my head, I really don't know or know if they have come out with wider gates.

It comes with a few different inserts and each has a span of around 5" from it's narrowest fitting to its widest. For minimal spacing differences, such as under 2", there are nuts on either end which hold the supports for the gate and can be adjusted with the included tool. Basically, as long as the doorway is under the max size, it can be made to fit exactly.

You would need the extension, it fits a regular door great, but anything bigger would need the extension.

The product description is accurate for width. If you need additional width to span your doorway, buy the extension kit that fits seamlessly with the door.

Yes it will fit. You will definitely use both extensions, but this will allow the gate to be centered and look much nicer imo.
