[QUOTE="Kevin Palmer, post: 794307, member: 54263"] It does simply slide on and off but at a specific angle.. And,,, you JUST happen to hit the angle.. It is a rarity for it to come off. It mostly happens when closing it as many push up, thus the centrifugal force has the gate WANT to swing out, thus, when it hits the spot that allows it co come off, it does. The answer is to open and close the gate slowly and allow gravity to keep it in place and allow it to RIDE on the hinge as opposed to want to rise up off of the hinge... [/QUOTE]
