Description

Dog-G8 is a strong, retractable and adaptable dog safety gate designed specifically for front doors, helping you manage your dog safely whenever the door is opened.

Whether you’re welcoming visitors, accepting deliveries or simply opening the door throughout the day, Dog-G8 creates a secure secondary barrier between your dog and the outside world. It helps reduce the risk of door dashes while still allowing you to use your front door as normal.

Available in a choice of widths and heights, you can select the size that best suits how far you want your door to open. Its modular design also means the gate can be extended with additional panels or moved to another location using extra mounting brackets as your needs change.

When not needed, the gate retracts neatly to the side or can be completely removed from its brackets.

Made from durable mild steel and proudly manufactured in the UK, Dog-G8 combines strength, flexibility and discreet design to provide everyday protection without taking over your doorway.

Detailed Installation Guidance

Each Dog-G8 Front Door arrives fully assembled with four mounting brackets, making installation quick and straightforward.

Use the gate hooks as your guide to position the brackets correctly. We recommend fitting the gate around 0.4-0.8" above floor level to clear any door mats. The hooks extend approximately 1.2" from the mounting surface, helping the gate clear common obstructions such as baseboards.

Two brackets are fitted to the door frame, recess or surrounding wall, while the other two are mounted directly to the front door.

For uPVC, composite, glass or smooth metal surfaces, you can use the high-strength adhesive supplied. For wood, drywall or other suitable surfaces, we recommend screw-fixing the brackets securely in place.

Once installed, simply hook the gate into position. It will open alongside your front door, creating a secure secondary barrier so you can welcome visitors or accept deliveries with greater control.

The gate can be removed from the brackets or manually folded flat when not required, and additional panels can be added if you need to extend beyond the standard widths.

Full fitting instructions are included with every Dog-G8.

How to fit

Each Dog-G8 Front Door comes with four mounting brackets. Two brackets are fitted to the door frame or surrounding wall, while the other two are fitted directly to the front door, allowing the gate to expand as the door opens.

For composite, uPVC, glass or metal surfaces, the brackets can be installed using our high-strength adhesive tape. For wood, plasterboard or brick, screws are provided for a secure screw-fixed installation.

FAQs

Have more questions? Please head to our dedicated FAQ page or Contact Us.

Will my dog jump over Dog-G8 for front doors?

In over 6 years of trading and extensive internal testing, we have not received any reports of dogs jumping over the DOG-G8 when used at the front door. This is largely due to the context in which it’s used. You are typically present while the door is open, allowing you to give training commands, and the gate is designed to stop dogs rushing past legs and feet.

Additionally, because the door cannot open fully when the DOG-G8 is in place, the available space is reduced, making jumping far less likely.

How do I fix Dog-G8 to my front door?

Each gate comes with four mounting brackets. Two are fixed to the side wall or door frame, and two are fixed directly to the front door.

You can attach the brackets using our high-grade adhesive tape on composite, uPVC, glass, or metal surfaces. For wood, plasterboard, or brick, we provide screws for a secure screw-fix installation.

How strong are the adhesives?

When applied correctly to the appropriate surfaces (uPVC, composite, glass, or metal), the adhesive bonds extremely effectively.

The brackets should be installed with firm pressure and left for 24 hours to fully cure. Once set, the adhesive can support direct weight of up to 40kg.

Will I have to pay Custom charges or Tariffs on my order?

For orders to the United Kingdom United States, or the EU there are NO additional custom duties or tariffs to pay on delivery. The price show at checkout is the final price you pay.

For orders shipped to the Aus, NZ and other international destinations, local customs, duties, taxes and tariffs may apply. We recommend checking with your local customs authority for the latest charges before ordering.

Please note that The Dog-G8 Company is not responsible for any additional customs, duties, taxes or tariffs applied by local authorities.
