Query: Gate is only a block

This gate does not work as it should. I have purchased a few of them, thinking the first couple were defective, but they are all the same. I spent hours mounting this gate in front of my stairs so I could use it as a door. It will close by applying pressure to the sides like a normal gate, but it WILL NOT open. It will refuse to release the pressure unless you put it in adjust mode and manually pull it off the wall. This is not what was advertised on the box, or instructions. This gate is worth about 5 US dollars. Do not waste your money!
