Pet gate types at a glance
Pet gate types in this collection
Mounting style, height and size set most of the differences. Each group below shows what it holds and where it fits.
Walk-through pressure-fit gates
Walk-through pressure-fit gates are the largest group in this collection. They wedge into a doorway without drilling and open on a door. Many have an auto close spring or a double locking latch. Some add a small pet door for cats. Widths adjust from about 26 to 52 in (66 to 132 cm), and several include extension kits.
Freestanding folding gates
Freestanding folding gates stand on support feet, so they need no drilling. Three and four panel versions fold flat for storage. Heights run from about 23.5 to 31.5 in (60 to 80 cm). An 80 in (203 cm) wide model spans large openings. A wooden pet gate or a metal frame suits small and medium dogs.
Dog playpens and panel fences
Panel fences join 6 to 16 panels into a play area for puppies and small pets. Heights run from 24 to 48 in (61 to 122 cm). Many have a locking door, and metal, clear plastic and wood-look styles are available. See dog playpens for the full set.
Extra tall and cat gates
An extra tall pet gate stands 55, 59 or 67.5 in (140, 150 or 171 cm) high. It is designed for cats, jumpers and climbers. The 59 in models list an adjustable width of 30 to 41 in (76 to 104 cm). Extension pieces widen some of them. Cats also have a home in cat furniture and enclosures.
Retractable gates
A retractable pet gate rolls out like a screen and clips to the opposite side. One mesh model stands 36.6 in (93 cm) tall and extends to 55 in (140 cm). Another is a dog gate with cat door. It fits openings from 29 to 32 in (74 to 81 cm). They suit hallways and stairs where you want a clear view.
Car barriers and fireplace fences
Two adjustable car barriers keep dogs in the back of an SUV, van or truck. A five panel fireplace fence spans up to 115 in (292 cm) and comes in black and white. Both groups cover spaces beyond the doorway. See fireplaces and accessories for fireplace gear.

How do you choose a pet gate?
Measure the opening
Measure the narrowest point of the doorway or stairs in centimetres and inches. Pick a gate whose adjustable range includes that number. Add an extension kit if the opening is close to the limit.
Pick the right height
A 30 in (76 cm) gate suits many dogs. Jumpers and large dogs may need 36 in (91 cm) or more. Cats often need 55 in (140 cm) or taller. Match the height to your pet's jump, not size alone.
Choose the mounting style
A pressure mounted pet gate suits doorways and hallways without drilling. Use a wall-mounted gate at the top of stairs, because pressure-fit gates can shift. Freestanding gates suit calm, small dogs and temporary dividers.
Check the door and latch
Look for an auto close door and a double locking latch. Add a small pet door if a cat shares the space. A walk-through door saves you from stepping over the gate every day.
Match the material
Metal frames suit strong dogs and chewers. Wood looks softer in living areas, and plastic and mesh are lighter. Choose the material that fits your pet's habits and your room.
Where do pet gates work best?
Stairs and hallways are where gates work best, because a barrier keeps pets away from steps or closed rooms. A pet gate for stairs should fit snugly and latch securely. Pair it with dog stairs so older dogs can reach the sofa or bed.
Kitchens, living rooms and nurseries need clear boundaries during meals or visits. A pet gate with door lets you walk through, while a freestanding gate can split a large open room. A fireplace fence keeps pets back from the hearth.
Apartments, rentals and puppy training spaces suit freestanding gates and panel fences, because they leave walls untouched. Pair a gate with dog kennels for a safe resting area.
How do you install and care for a pet gate?
Test a new gate before you leave it alone with your pet. Push on it, check the latch and watch how your pet reacts. Wipe metal and plastic with a damp cloth, and check hinges, wall cups and feet every month. These gates are made for pets, not children. Use a certified child safety gate for toddlers.

Pet gate FAQs
What is a pet gate?
A pet gate is a barrier that blocks a doorway, hallway or staircase. It keeps pets in or out of a space. It can mount by pressure, screw to the wall or stand on its own feet. Many have a walk-through door, and most come in black or white.
Is there a difference between a baby gate and a pet gate?
Yes. Baby gates are made to hold back small children, while pet gates are made for dogs and cats. A pet-only gate is not meant to protect children. Use a certified child safety gate if toddlers share the home. Check each product page for its intended use.
What is the safest dog gate?
The safest dog gate fits the opening snugly and stands tall enough for your dog. It also closes with a secure latch. Use a wall-mounted gate at the top of stairs. No gate replaces supervision, so test it before leaving your dog alone.
Do freestanding gates work?
A freestanding pet gate works well for small and calm dogs and for temporary dividers. They stand on support feet, so a strong or jumping dog can knock them over. Choose a pressure-fit or wall-mounted gate for energetic dogs. Test it before leaving your dog alone.
What can I use instead of a dog gate?
A retractable gate, a panel fence or a dog playpen can replace a standard dog gate. A closed door also works for a single room. Pick the option that fits the opening width and your dog's habits. Test it before you leave your dog alone.
What height of pet gate do I need?
Most small and medium dogs stay behind a gate about 30 in (76 cm) high. Large dogs and jumpers may need 36 in (91 cm) or more. Cats often need 55 in (140 cm) or taller, so look at the extra tall models.
