Q: Can this gate open in both directions?
A: Hi there! Thank you for your question. Yes, the gate can swing either direction. The gate also features a stopper at the bottom, so when engaged on either side you can stop the gate from going one direction or the other, then disengage to allow the gate to swing either way.

Q: What is the width of each extension? I assume if I need to use both extensions the width would be 47 in. But what if I only need 1 extension? Would the width add up to 40.5 inches? Thank you
A: Hello there. Thank you for your question. The instructions will very clearly show different widths and which extensions to use. One does state for openings up to 41" you will need one small and one medium extension (extensions included).

Q: does it work for banister to banister installation? or Do I need to buy the banister to banister installation kit?
A: Hello. We do not recommend using from banister to banister, as the gate would need a solid flat surface on both sides to achieve the proper pressurization to install securely. We do not manufacture a kit and do not recommend using any aftermarket kits as they are not safety tested with our gate.

Q: Hello, The opening where I want to install the gate is 41 inches. I see the gate covers up to 47...How much would I have to extend on both side to keep the gate from feeling flimsy?
A: Hi! Since your opening is up to 41 inches, you would use the included small and medium extensions for the gate. With the small and medium extensions specifically being used for openings up to 41 inches and the pressure bumpers turned to proper tightness, the gate should be secure in your space.
