Product Information
Full details
The Bettacare Extra Tall Screw Fit Dog Gate is an ideal solution for pet owners seeking a permanent, robust safety barrier for doorways and staircases. At 100cm tall, it effectively contains energetic or larger pets while maintaining a clean aesthetic. The primary advantage is its hardware-mounted design that eliminates floor-level tripping hazards, though it requires permanent drilling into your walls or door frames for installation.

FAQs
Does this gate come with a bottom threshold bar?
No, this is a no-trip-bar design, providing a clear path at floor level.
Can this be used as a pressure-fit gate?
No, this model is specifically engineered as a screw-fit (hardware-mounted) gate for maximum security.
Is the paint safe if my dog chews the bars?
Yes, the paint finish is rigorously tested to be bite-proof and free from harmful chemicals.
Can I install this on a curved banister?
If you are mounting to a banister, you may need a separate hardware mounting kit or a wooden mounting block to provide a flat surface for the screws.
Does the gate open in both directions?
The gate can swing both ways, but it includes an optional one-way restrictor if you need to limit the opening direction.
Troubleshooting
Gate frame seems slightly misaligned during installation.
Loosen the mounting screws slightly, use a spirit level to align the vertical bars, and then re-tighten the hardware.
The gate does not latch easily.
Ensure the gate is perfectly plumb (level) and that the floor is flat. If the gate was mounted too wide, the latch mechanism may not engage correctly.
