Can you leave this gate open?

Yes, it opens to about 120 degrees...so, it can seem to be in the way and you can walk into it thinking you'll swing it further open at the last moment!

Depends on what you mean by open. It has 2 knobs on the bottom so you can: (1) open away from you only, (2) open towards you only, (3) open both ways, or (4) not open, w/c is helpful when installing the gate. What you can do is switch the knobs on the bottom while the gate is open, so, it does not close completely. If you are expecting it to stay open at 45 degrees, it does not have that mechanism.

The only way I can see to keep the cat door open permanently would be to tie it - like with little zip ties. It's welded on, so removing it isn't an option. At least not on my gate.

Yes. When the gate is open, a very simply lifting action will decouple the two sides of the hinge and allow the main gate to be removed and set aside.

Yes, you can. However, we tried to do this for the same size opening and the gate became very unstable. To the point that it no longer worked for our purposes.

No, you would not be able to walk through it because there is a solid metal bar at the bottom of the gate that fits into the door track. If you tried stacking them the solid bar from the top gate would block your access.

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.

The gate does close behind you as long as you don't open it beyond the stay open position. I use the gate for my dogs, so I certainly don't have to lock it. You won't have to lock it for babies and small children either as you have to raise a lever and pull up to open it. It is a really great gate.

We use a doorbell switch on one gate (inside yard) for leaving. Pull it shut to lock, you will need to lubricate the latch for smooth locking. Hope this helps.

This gate does not close automatically - you need to push a button and lift the gate slightly to open it. It only requires using one hand though.

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

The side the gate opens to.... Keep it pretty much vertical.. All you want is the spring to move to its normal posistion to close gate..

You can leave it open, just like a regular door. We leave ours open all day, then close it when we're home with the baby.

Yes. You can set the amount of time the gate stays open before self-closing.

Yes, there is a little button on the outside of the gate that you push up or down to open or lock the latch on top.

I m not sure that If I understand what you mean by stay open feature but you can leave the door open if you want as long as you want. It doesn't just close, it also can stay open.

I'm sorry. I meant to respond to you sooner. Yes you can leave the door open but you may have to squeeze by unless the door opens all the way back. My cat loved this thing and it's very neat and strong. It doesn't take up as much room as the towers that set up in corners. I got the bigger one, put towels on the floor of each level, and sprinkled a little catnip on each floor to get my cat to explore it. I think it's a great invention. I hope this helps.

You could just to hold the gate closed. Wouldn't be good for security purposes. Exposed power wire.
