That is almost always how the dog gets upstairs, into the kitchen, or out of the front door — not because the gate failed, but because a person did, usually carrying washing with both hands full.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA self-closing gate removes that. You push through and it swings back and latches itself. In a doorway you use thirty times a day — kitchen, hallway, utility — that is worth more than any other feature on a gate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt keeps the same double-locking handle as our taller gate: two buttons slid together and then a lift, which no dog is going to work out. Metal frame, 3.5 kg, pressure fitted so there is no drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBe straight about the height though. At 78 cm this is a standard-height pet gate, which contains small dogs, puppies and most medium dogs perfectly well but will not stop a determined labrador or a springer that fancies it.

Tighten the pressure cups a little at a time on each corner rather than one fully at a time. Test it a dozen times before you trust it, and re-tighten after a week once the fittings have bedded in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUsing it safely\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot for the top of a staircase — pressure fittings can be pushed out by a dog leaning on them, and a screw-fitted gate is the right answer there. Keep fingers and paws clear of the closing edge; a self-closing gate shuts with some force. Check the tension weekly. Do not let children swing on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the frame with a damp cloth and keep hair out of the latch, which is what stops a self-closing gate latching properly. Check the closing mechanism every few months and ease the pressure cups off occasionally if you are renting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; returns\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree tracked UK delivery on every Pawbrio order.
