Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My dog is quite strong. Will a pressure-fit gate be secure enough?
A: While pressure-fit gates are convenient, they may not be suitable for very strong or determined dogs who can sometimes dislodge them. Hardware-mounted gates like the Adjustable White Steel Dog Gate, 75-115cm provide a more robust solution.
Q: How do I know what size gate to choose?
A: Carefully measure the width of your doorway or stairwell opening where you plan to install the gate. Make sure to account for any skirting boards or other obstructions. Our product descriptions include detailed dimensions to help you find the perfect fit.
Q: I have a cat, but I also want to keep my dog contained. Will a gate with a cat flap work?
A:
Yes, gates with built-in cat flaps like the Auto-Close Pet Gate with Cat Door, White allow your cat to pass through while preventing your dog from accessing certain areas.
Q: Can your stair gates be used at the top and bottom of stairs?
A: Absolutely! Our stair gates are designed for both top and bottom of stair placement. Just ensure you choose a gate that is appropriate for the width and height of your staircase opening.
