Is this gate easy enough to move from one doorway to another without expending a whole lot of time and effort?

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.

It's pretty easy. It's just like all the other north states gates in that you spin the adjustors down and to remove tension from the wall. Then you can tale it wherever you want. I would advise that it's a pretty easy process to move the gate. I don't, but that's only because I'm only protecting my kids from falling down the stairs. If I we're to move it, I child do so in about 2 or 3 minutes pretty easily. Good luck!

This gate is more suitable for leaving in a permanent location. It can be moved, however, by twisting the knobs at the 4 contact points. I have left mine in the same location for over a year, and it has never loosened.

This gate (and I suspect all baby gates that swing out) is really easy to "lock" open with a small bungee cord. Put one end at one of the bars that doesnt move (on the hinge side of the gate door) and place the other end on a bar on the gate at the cords max extension without creating tension. I use a bright red cord, which against the white makes it more noticeable so that I dont forget it is open, as others have said could become a problem.

I'm going to have to say no. It's a bit tricky to open, actually. You have to hold down the framework while pushing the lever on the gate and lifting up. That was frustrating. We used it to keep our little dog in a family room while we were gone. We liked it well enough for that use. It was sturdy and attractive.

I would say it's doable, but would be tough. You have to pull all the sides out then push the hinges up to click into place. It's best if you have someone who could help you for 5minutes,10 minutes max, that way it gets done faster and gets put up securely.

Yes, it's easy, but we used the wall anchors for more stability (our dogs are large and enthusiastic) and we find it's easier to just leave them up all the time. They're reasonably attractive and the gates are easy to operate, plus this allows us to quickly and easily kick the dogs out of the kitchen if they're being pests!

Yes it's easy to move. I use mine in the laundry room and it took me a few times to get it to the right height to hang laundry

It's not too rough for doing a DIY project with a garage door opener. There are no extra parts needed with the installation, in fact, you might end up with extra parts (censors, mounting rails, etc) after installing since you are replacing the old door. The only hitch I had is that the instructions for the belt tensioner were a little unclear, but after doing a little research I found out how to get it on there right. It took me about 2 and half hours total.

It was easy, the seats are a little heavy but I would not call it hard to move them and install this.

No, it is a bit finicky sometimes, but overall I love having the gate. I can open it with one hand, and it is much easier on my back, and safer than trying to climb over carrying my grandbaby! Just make sure the hinges between the gate and the panels are straight, if not it is very difficult to open and close. I had one set wrong and was cursing the darn thing until I realized what was happening. I leave it open a lot so that my granddaughter who is 10 months can go in and out, which she enjoys. I only close it when necessary.

I think its easy - but not so easy that my toddler can figure it out. You have to slide a button and lift the gate to swing it open. It swings in both directions, which is nice. To close it, you just have to lift the gate and lower it just right over the latch so it clicks. Occasionally there's some maneuvering to get it closed because of also needing to line up a piece of plastic on the bottom of the gate with the bar across the gate opening, but nothing that has every annoyed me in the slightest.

Every application will vary. Installed properly, it should fit the need. The timer-lock is a great feature. We've had good luck with this gate using it at the top of stairs. Still need to keep an eye on crawlers and toddlers.

No. Gates with that feature are pretty descriptive to that point. This is a very cheap gate. You can't apply to much pressure with it or it will break.

Mine is very easy, both 95-year-old mother and grandchildren, just old enough to stand can open it. I wonder if one of your walls isn't square, pushing the gate into an incorrect position.

Hello Castillo. This Princeton Group comes with the legs un-attached so there won't be any issues getting it through your door. The legs simply screw on so assembly is simple.

Push the button and slide it over. Its really easy to work and the gate is great.

No gate. Probably easy for an able-bodied adult to step over (we use it in front of a fireplace, so I haven't tried), but if you have mobility restrictions that require a floor-level pass through, then this may not be the product for you. One work-around is to move the gate aside each time; it is not very heavy, though how well that would work for you is of course dependent on the details of the space you intend to set this up in.

It was easy to install although the instructions could use a tune-up. The gate goes up without effort where it used to be a chore for me with my arthritis. If you have a removable gate like mine, you will notice that the gate will kick up on the side where you install the gate assist. I have a pin at the bottom-center of my gate that slides into a slot to hold the gate in place. The ends do not have pins. It looks goofy but getting our ATV on and off the trailer is a whole lot easier now. You will need to take a few minutes to figure out the adjustment. That isn't explained well in the instructions. A couple diagrams would help. Overall, it is very well constructed and does just what it claims. It was easy to install although the instructions could use a tune-up.
