Questions & Answers

17 Customer Questions


Do you walk over it or is there a door?

Answer by ChewyJul 09, 2018
You can either step over the gate or disconnect it from the wall to gain access to the other side.

Will this work for a cat?

Answer by ChewyFeb 14, 2020
This gate is suitable for cats and dogs.

Will the gate stay in place without screwing in the bumpers if fitted snugly between the two walls?

Answer by ChewyMar 09, 2023
This gate does not require the bumpers to be screwed into place and will fit snugly if correctly installed.

Does the small door have a latch, or does it somehow lock in place, to keep it closed if you don’t want smaller animals to be able to pass thru??

Answer by ChewyDec 13, 2019
The small door can be closed and remain closed.

Note best

Not really impressed with the way that it tightens. It tightens, but then loosens if you turn it one more time. There is a part that does not tighten with it,

Not really impressed with the way that it tightens. It tightens, but then loosens if you turn it one more time. There is a part that does not tighten with it, and I believe it is supposed to. I bought it to keep my dogs out of a room that I let my cat go in, but the dogs can also get through the gate..LOL they are as small as the cat, so the cat just jumps over it because I keep the gate closed.

I ordered two of these to block a couple of doorways in our home from our new puppy. They were easy to put up and do an incredible job of keeping her out of areas that I don’t want her in. And they were a great price.

Won’t trip you

Love the gate because it’s easy to step over without tripping, but it also keeps my dogs away from the cat area. The door is a perfect-size for the cats to come

Love the gate because it’s easy to step over without tripping, but it also keeps my dogs away from the cat area. The door is a perfect-size for the cats to come and go as they please and again keep the dogs out. It’s also just tall enough that my Frenchie can’t over it to get to the cat food.

Needed a temporary short barrier for my three little dogs. Very useful when I need to partition off a section of the house for a short time. Was easy to install, easy to remove and small enough for easy storage.

Their height was great, since the puppies are small.

Unfortunately, they are the type to screw in to the door, which is great if we needed them full time. We only need them when the pups come to visit, so my son will

I needed a gate I could step over, my cat could jump over and my dog could not. This gate is to keep my dog out of the cat's area and it works great! (my dog is the same size as the cat so the pass through door doesn't help) I wish it had a gate opening I could go through so that I didn't have to step over it but that is only available on much taller gates.

Easy to use gate

Great product for my cats to be able to get to their litter box without the pups being able to follow them!

The height of the gate is perfect.

I like having a small door for the dogs IF I want them in the room. The size adjustment is easy to work with.

Easy to use, does the job

Our senior Labrador needs a little barrier from going up and down stairs when we're not around to spot her. Our old house has a charming, but awkward banister/post

Our senior Labrador needs a little barrier from going up and down stairs when we're not around to spot her. Our old house has a charming, but awkward banister/post and this gate fits perfectly. It's easy to assemble/use and is sturdy enough to prevent my younger Lab from barging through, too.
