Metal Dog Gates

Different people have different reasons for preferring metal dog gates over other styles. It could be for strength or it could be for looks. We carry many decorative iron dog gates that are popular for aesthetic reasons, which is also the case with our furniture-grade wooden dog gates. Many of these models are free-standing dog gates that require no installation.

Metal is a tough, durable material that is able to withstand harsh conditions and daily abuse caused by rambunctious, large dogs much better than plastic dog gates or soft dog gates made with fabric ever could.

Metal dog gates are also the right choice if you are looking for a dog gate that you can use outside. Metal is the most heavy-duty material available and can better withstand the outside conditions as well as the heavy abuse from an active pet. However, it is important to read each product description carefully as some of our metal dog gates are recommended for use only as indoor dog gates.

Metal dog gates do not come with a lot of color choices. Many (but not all) are available in black, white or mocha. Black is by far the biggest seller. We carry a line of beautiful heavy-duty black metal dog gates that have the look of wrought iron. These dog gates will blend nicely if you have a wrought iron stairway or other wrought iron details in your home.

If there is an area in your home that you need to block off that is not straight across we once again refer you to the metal dog gates in our free-standing dog gates section. Freestanding metal dog gates work best for blocking off irregular and odd shaped areas. If the area you want to block off is straight across but is very wide, see our extra wide dog gates section. These are dog gates wide enough to span from 60 inches, and with the use of dog gate extensions, up to 108 inches. Or, if height is a concern because you have a large dog, see our extra tall dog gates.

Pressure mounted metal dog gates are those which use pressure to secure itself in a doorway, instead of hardware. Pressure-mounted dog gates are a great alternative to hardware mounted dog gates if you're looking to use your dog gate in multiple areas of your home. Pressure-mount models are portable, easy to use and will not leave damage marks on walls or doorways when removed.

Walk-through dog gates are convenient and therefore quite popular. Many of our walk-thru metal dog gates have an special feature where the gate swings closed automatically after being opened. This is added security since many people forget to close their dog gate, especially after letting their dog out.

Some additional features available on some of our metal dog gates are 1) the option for the gate to swing both ways, resulting in an easy walk through passage; and 2) one handed operation, making it no longer necessary to use both hands to open your dog gate.

We also carry metal dog gates for cars, dog gates with cat doors, clear panel dog gates and coated wire dog gates.
