FAQs

What is the maximum shoulder height for a dog to use this gate?

This gate is suitable for small and medium dogs with a shoulder height between 25-50cm.

How wide of an opening can this gate fit?

The gate is adjustable to fit openings between 74cm and 80cm in width.

Does the gate require drilling into walls?

No, this is a pressure-fit gate and does not require drilling into walls for installation.

Can the gate be installed on stairs?

Yes, it is suitable for use in doorways, hallways, and on stairs, provided it is securely pressure-fitted.

How does the double lock system work?

The double lock system is designed for security and can be easily operated with one hand, preventing accidental openings by pets but allowing simple adult access.

What happens if the gate is pushed open just a little?

If the gate is pushed open to an angle less than 30 degrees, it will remain open. If pushed closed to an angle less than 90 degrees, it will automatically shut.

How do I clean the gate?

You can clean the gate with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Gate won't stay open

Ensure the gate is not angled less than 30 degrees. If it is, the 'hold-open' function may not engage. Check for any obstructions preventing it from staying open.

Large gap at the door lock before installation is complete

This is normal. Continue to tighten the adjusting screws on both sides until the gap measures approximately 2-3mm. This ensures a secure pressure fit.

Gate feels wobbly or loose

Retighten the adjusting screws on both sides of the gate. Ensure the wall protectors are correctly positioned and making firm contact with the wall or doorframe.

The automatic shut feature is not working

Verify that the gate is correctly installed and level. The automatic shut engages when the gate is pushed closed and the angle is less than 90 degrees. Check for any resistance or obstructions.

Small cat door is difficult for the cat to use

Ensure the cat door is not obstructed. Some cats may need time to adjust to using the small door.
