The gate itself is extremely durable. It is made from steel and secured with screw-locked clips, making it deceptively strong despite its minimal design.
Our chrome variant is the strongest option and offers greater durability than the powder-coated version. We recommend chrome for households with multiple dogs, large breeds, or industrial use.
For maximum strength, it is essential that the mounting brackets are securely fixed to a suitable surface, as the overall performance of the gate depends on a solid installation.
When applied correctly to the appropriate surfaces (uPVC, composite, other plastic, 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.
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.
Yes, this is not a problem. The DOG-G8 is designed to work with a wide range of door configurations. It can be installed where there is a reveal, side wall, rail, or recessed doorway.
If your front door is not flush, the brackets are simply positioned further back along the side wall or into the corner of the recess. This setup is very common in older terraced properties as well as modern homes with recessed entrances.
The instruction pack included with every gate covers multiple installation configurations, and our team is always available to provide support if you need guidance.
Yes, you can purchase extra panels to give your gate the added width needed.
Yes, as you open your front door the dog gate will expand, and you can easily unhook the gate from the brackets to let yourself in.
Yes, you simply unhook the safety gate from its door bracket, and your door will open as normal, allowing you to let people in.
Yes, as you're leaving the home, you can engage Dog-G8 from the outside, when you arrive back home, the gate will span open for you. You can let yourself back in the home from the outside too.
Yes, you can fit gates to any configuration. You simply need to identify where you need a gate e.g. front door, stairway, hallways or extra-wide spaces and select a size more compatible. See our collection here
Conceptually, all DOG-G8 gates are based on the same core gate design. The differences between products relate to intended use, width range, and installation guidance, rather than the gate mechanism itself.

Yes we have an sister brand dedicated entirely to Cats - www.cat-g8.com
At the moment we have three heights available. 50cm Tall (for small dogs) 88cm Tall (suitable for most breeds) and 1.2metres Tall (designed for areas with a platform or extremely jumpy dogs).
The gate does functionally work on outward opening doors. However, if you have a step down, this will create a space for a dog to drop down and underneath the gate. If you have no step down, the gate will work very well.
The Chrome variant can be used outdoors. We advise the gate is brought inside when it's not in use, to prolong the lifespan. The powder coat version is not to be used outdoors.
The gaps between each panel are only 5cm.
