It's a swing door and opens both ways. Don't think it would make a very safe ladder

It opens both ways. You lift the door up to unlock it and can swing it to the front or back. It is a wonderful gate and I highly recommend it!

The door swings both ways. You can also install it so the hinges are on either side simply by turning it around in the mounting brackets.

Also ...the gate is in 3 sections that don't bend except where the arms are. And the door has a metal frame on the bottom. I love mine but would get something else if it was for outside use more than occasionally-AnnMarie

It can be left open which is a nice feature. My last gate would always shut and we ha to use a bungee cord to keep it open.

That should work, it is made for smaller openings. NOTE this was for the ladder only, I was expecting the door and frame, I had to build that. also this does not seem suited to heavy use, if you will be going up and down a lot you may want a heavier duty ladder.

The gate is attached to the wall by 4 different pieces.(2 on each side) when those pieces are there, there are 2 poles one on each side that slides through the wall piece. It would be a pain to undo one side to swing it one all the time. If that is what you are thinking. If you needed to do that once in a blue moon then yes. On a daily basis of swinging it open... No.

We have it installed in the wood door frame of our basement stairs doorway. It is really secure but also really hard to open. If installed on a bannister, I would worry that the action of opening/closing the gate would eventually loosen the bannister.

No the lock is on the top of the gate door. You just slide it to the side and lift a little. There's no outside lock. It doesnt open all that easily but we've made it work just fine.

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.

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.

At first I thought my gate wasn't very baby proof as I didn't need to use the button on top to open it. I just had to lift up and it opened. It also didn't swing close and lock itself. You need to make the gate tighter. You will notice a little lip hanging off the button on top. That is what is suppose to stop the gate from being able to just be lifted upwards and open. If your gate is at the correct fit to the door way it should swing close and lock itself. I hope this helps.

Only one way, for safety reasons. For example, if it were placed at the top of the stairs - it would not swing open towards the steps - just in case little miss perfect got lucky and managed to open it. Of course, you can always unscrew it and turn it around to face the other direction if you like. Takes about 2 mins sober. There is no way to tell the difference, other than the direction the gate swings. Good product.

I haven't put mine up yet this summer but I recall the opening in the middle because I have the same style doors and only open one. However we never seemed to have an issue getting in and out since all of the material moves when not full latched down. Hope that helps?!

we were able to attach the safety gate which doesn't touch the ground. It is hinged on one side and opens up but there is no way to keep it to stay open and it takes a bit of the step room as well as it hits you because it wants to close. We are installing a hook and eye thing to it to secure it open when in use and hope that will work.

Yes, gate is easy to open. I simply lift up the lath and move the gate forward or backwards to enter.

Hi Paul, this handle is made to install on the outside. No way you can open the door from inside if the door is locked. This handle is not solid. The handle broke after 3 months of use.

It does fit through standard door openings, but it needs a ramp, not a step. It is fairly lightweight though if you need to lift it. It is okay outside only on a smooth, flat surface. It has hard rubber wheels so if you hit a small rock it jolts, and it's top heavy so you need to be careful outdoors. Also, it's quite difficult to push up hills.

Hi Nancy. Once that door drops (closes) - it isn't opening up, being pushed in, out - or other wised open; unless done so with the collar - or manually through the panel.
