I see that the gate self closes and locks behind you but in the video you still have to push the lever down to lock as well. Is this true?

The gate latches and stays securely closed when it self closes. You can push the lever down for an extra security measure.

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 have the gate at the top of our stairs. It closes automatically and "locks". To open again you'll need to lift the whole door up and swing it open. Think of the lever like a deadbolt on your door. It closes and locks by itself but if you want to really seal it then you'll need to manually flip the "deadbolt" down.

No if it shuts hard enough the gate latches itself and it is completely locked.

I would have to say no. The gate top/bottom have to be level in order for the gate to lock closed.

You have to squeeze two buttons together on the locking mechanism and push down simultaneously to open the gate. You must also mount the latch on the wall accordingly.

I wish I could help you with this. I have the same gate and can open it and close it with one hand. Is it possible that it may not be alligned right?

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.

When you open the gate to walk through, it just swings. It doesn't have a latch that keeps it open if that's what you're talking about :)

Hank said it... the gate will stay shut after it closes. If someone really wants to move it they can a little, then they will have to break the gate to open all the way.

Yes, if you pull it towards you it locks open. If you push it back it just opens, then when you let go it shuts off.

We used the mounting casters to prevent it from being easy to move, I imagine that if you skipped that step it would screw tight and loosen up like any other pressure mounted gate. We permanent mounted ours, it also depends upon your definition of 'a lot of time and effort', it will take a few minutes to unscrew and screw tight again.

if the gate is a little bit twisted it doesn't close on its own. look very closely from different angles, may need some tweaking on the install. good luck

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).

No, you have to take the whole gate down or step over it. It's one lever bar to unlock it but that bar is so flimsy that you neary break it every time you risk taking down the gate.My mother has back issues, so it's hard for her to bend, and she can't lift her legs without falling over... this gate is useless when she's here because she can't step through it. I would not buy it again, it's cheaply made, I've already had one break, and it's no use if you have family that need to be able to walk through, not step over.

No, it does not. You must block the gate with something at the open position if you want it to remain open.

The key is the tension. Too loose and the gate doesn't quite lock, too tight and it's hard to open/close. Remember that you have to lift it once you unlock it, and if the lifting action is where the problem is maybe a little WD40 can solve the issue.

Yes because I remember getting locked out accidently several times. I used it for about 4 months and a big gust of wind slammed my gate shut and bent part of this devise. I decide not to use this again. I did like the key feature. I won't buy another one.

It won't lock behind you - most don't want that to prevent lock-outs. All you do is turn the knob I believe to the left and it locks.

I haven't experienced that with my gate. Is the latch on top stuck in the pushed in position?
