42" would be the minimum opening.

The gate expands to a maximum of 42 inches. My opening is about 34 inches. I adjusted it accordingly and it is absolutely gorgeous!

No 42 is the minimum width for this gate.

Yes it will fit. My opening is 32"

Yes, but you need to get the 28"-41" size. 42" would be the widest opening this size would fit into.

the gate has footings on both sides, so can't be pushed over. Thats one of the things I like about it is thats it free standing. it is a nice, heavy, well made gate!

My yorkie is unable to move it due to the weight of the gate. Be prepared for the weight, it is not easy to pick up and move around, but moving one end to let him through would not be a problem. Sliding it smaller is not an option as the gate is adjusted to the size you need when you assemble it, then you insert several screws to hold it in that position. You do not have the option to constantly change the size without getting out the tool and removing/re-inserting the screws.

I doubt your yorkie will be able to push it. I have four small dogs and this has never happened. This gate is not a good candidate for daily adjustment. It can easily be moved by a person however. It is not too heavy.

I move mine regularly, just pick it up from the sides. It's not light but not really heavy to move either. It looks great and is absolutely sturdy enough to keep a yorkie contained. I have a Bichon/Shih tzu, a yorkie, a coton du tulear and her very energetic puppy and my gates work very well to keep them in/out where I want them - no squeezing by and they cannot knock the gate aside either.

Your Yorkie will not be able to move it, it weighs close to 30 pounds and I am disabled and am able to move mine without any issues. I will say they are so attractive, that I do not even move mine much, as all 4 bedrooms have beautiful FRONTGATE gates attached that open, the hard wood ones they no longer make, with a little door I walk thru and they are all so beautiful, they actually make my doorways look better!! Every person that enters my home comments on my gates and wants to know where I got them all! I have a 10 pound schnoodle and a 22 pounds schnoodle and neither one of them can move them! Get them :)

Small rubber cushions on bottom. I use on hardwood and tile floors.

I have hardwood floors. There are plastic feet on gate but I added felt pads to them. No marking noticed after a few weeks and slides easily to move to another location.

the feet have plastic protectors on them. I have put little felt floor protectors on there and they are fine on my new hardwood floors - may have been fine even without the felt I think

Although I have tile flooring, I would recommend purchasing felt pads at your local Home Depot. The gate is heavy enough that a small dog wouldn't be able to move it.

The footings are very attractive and mine are on my hardwood floors and do not scratch your floors. The gates are barely 30 pounds and can be lifted even by myself being disabled. The best thing I can advise is to lift them, not drag if your concerned about your floors, but my floors have not one mark from my gates. You may ant to apply a felt stick on pad just for GP if that eases your mind. The gates match my dining room so beautifully, that I no longer even remove them like the older ugly baby gates I had because they are so decorative and people have noticed them as they enter my home and fall in love and want them for themselves.

Our opening is offset as well, the gate works great.

I use my gate on an offset too. If the width is sufficient, it should work fine due to the feet that hold it up in whatever location you need.

It should work very well, the gate has sides about 7 inches

Yes, the gate just wouldn't be straight across; but more on a diagonal. As long as you measure the opening, and it's within the width of the gate; it would work.

yes, the gate slides so you can angle it to cover the space.
