How do I clean the pet gate?

You can clean the gate using a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent. Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials.

Is this gate suitable for puppies or kittens?

Yes, it is designed to be a stable safety barrier. However, ensure it is fitted correctly to prevent it from being dislodged by very persistent young animals.

Does the gate lock automatically when it closes?

Yes, the auto-close function is designed to swing the gate shut and latch it automatically, providing a secure closure.

What safety standards does this gate meet?

Troubleshooting

Gate is wobbly or unstable

Ensure all pressure mounting knobs are tightened evenly and firmly. Check that the gate is installed on a flat, solid surface and that the doorway width is within the specified range.

Auto-close function not working properly

Verify the gate is level and installed correctly. Ensure there are no obstructions preventing the gate from swinging freely. A firm push may be needed to ensure the latch engages.

Gate does not latch securely

Re-adjust the pressure knobs to ensure a tight fit. Check the alignment of the gate in the frame and ensure the locking mechanism is clear of debris.

Gap at the top of the gate frame

This is normal before the final tightening of pressure knobs. Once tightened, the gap should disappear. If a gap remains after firm tightening, check the wall/door frame for unevenness or consider if the opening is too wide for the gate without extensions.
