The base gate covers 71cm - 80cm. With Bettacare extension kits, it can be extended to cover much wider openings, but it must always be installed in a straight line.

No, the Bettacare Extra Tall Curved Top Pet Gate uses a pressure-fit system and does not require any tools or drilling for installation.
Can this gate be used at the top of stairs?
Yes, it is suitable for use at the top of stairs as a safety barrier. Ensure it is securely pressure-fitted.
What does the 'Quick Check Indicator' do?
The Quick Check Indicator is a visual system that confirms when the gate is installed correctly and securely locked, providing an immediate safety check.
How high is the gate?
The top of the curved section measures approximately 100cm from the floor.
Can the gate be permanently fixed?
While designed for pressure fitting, it is possible to use the mounting cups with screws (not included) for a more permanent fixture if desired, though this is not required for standard use.
What colors are available?

Troubleshooting
Gate won't stay open or close properly
Ensure the pressure bolts are tightened evenly. Check that the gate is installed in a perfectly straight line and not on an incline. Verify the latch mechanism is free of debris.
Quick Check Indicator not showing green
The indicator shows incorrect installation or insufficient tension. Re-adjust the pressure bolts, ensuring the gate is firmly seated and level. Check for obstructions around the frame.
Gate rattles or feels loose
Re-tighten all pressure bolts. Ensure the mounting surfaces (walls/door frames) are clean and not damaged. If using extensions, confirm they are securely attached to the main gate.
The auto-close feature is not engaging
Check for any obstructions in the hinge or latch mechanism. Ensure the gate is closing fully; sometimes a slight push is needed to fully engage the auto-close.
