It's certainly clear as to the "why" of "can't" have a hinge other than
not wanting one; certainly nothing apparent in the one photo to prevent it.

But as for "nothing", there's "always" some other alternative; a
backstop with spring latch on the other side would at least make it
where can just set one side in place and push the other rather than a
"four-handed find the hole" exercise standing on one's head at top of a
stairwell...or even above it looking down if it's a the base of the
stairs but you're on the up side...

But, as you say, they're the client and sometimes it can only be "live
and learn"...
