Does this gate have an option to stay open?

No, it does not. You must block the gate with something at the open position if you want it to remain open.
87707
No. I wish it did but it does not have a latch or anything to keep the gate open. You can keep it "unlocked" but have to make sure you do not let the gate slam or it will automatically lock.
87708
No it does not have that option. The spring that closes the gate is fairly strong and will snap back quickly if you don't hold the gate open, especially if you use the foot petal. I think you could rig something to keep it open, but nothing comes with it to keep it open.

not that I have figured out. We have to prop something in front of the door to keep it open. You can hold it (keep it from slamming shut) and it will not lock and you can just open it with your hand instead of stepping on the pedal to unlock and open. It does swing both ways tho depending upon which side you step on the pedal. We like it very much!

No, that would be a nice touch though. I would imagine that it could easily be rigged to be held open with a small bungee cord or hook of some kind.

The gate stays open, but closes easily with the latch. Wasn't a lot of fun to assemble. The printed instructions aren't very clear. However, it's a nice, sturdy gate.

Gate doesn't automatically shut. You need to shut it yourself. Stays open if u like and I have 2 cats and they fit right between bars.

Yes, you can open the gate from either side; that's the whole point of this latch. I don't know why they didn't mention it in the description.

No, it will not stay open, unless you block it with something. it is very easy to open, one hand is all you need.

If you install it not quite vertically aligned, with the top bar tilted towards the side of the room you want the gate to stay open, it will stay open due to gravity. To shut it you'll have to push the gate to catch the bottom latch, but the top gate latch may not close then. A child will not be able to open the gate, because you have to lift the door to disengage the bottom latch. I just installed it yesterday and it does not close. I intend to correct it today though, as it is not recommended.

Yes. You can leave the door open however, it will close if hit. You can also close it without it catching.
1059241
Yes. You can open and close the door from anywhere. Also I'm getting prompt alerts whenever door is open or closed.

Yes it does. It's a small tab that swivels in between the wires that hold it closed. My three dogs have not been able to open the gate and even if they lifted the tab (not likely) they could not raise the door.

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.

Unfortunately not. It takes 2 hands to open or close this gate. If I had known that I would not have bought it.

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..

No. Gate works with tension. If not a straight tight fit it may not close properly.

There is a catch that catches when you close the gate keeping it closed (you don't have to lock it). To lock it you need the key and you will need the key to unlock it (every time if it's locked).

It swings shut automatically, but we use a bungee cord, and can rig it to stay open held by the bungee from one part of the gate to another(or something exterior)

It will stay open on its own. It only opens in one direction, it has a tab at the bottom of the gate but you can turn the gate so the door of it opens on the side you want.... Towards you or away from you. I turn mine so the tab at the bottom is on the side I don't want my dogs pushing open. I hope this helps :-) I wish I could send ya pics to help see it.

The gate does swing both ways. There is nothing to keep it open but mine stays where you put it. Another words you have to close it back when you walk through it. I love this gate. It would have been easy to install had we not had to adjust our base boards to fit the gate.
