Accordion gates are designed to provide completely safe barricades to areas that may be potentially dangerous to your pets or young children.
These gates can be easily fixed at entrances and across door ways so that only adults can pass through them.
An accordion gate has a wider entry than a traditional indoor gate. The complete fold back design gives you a lot of space from which you can pass through even with your arms full of laundry or grocery bags. Because of this unique design, an accordion gate is ideal if the adults in your household find it hard to squeeze through regular indoor gates because of space constraints.
Accordion gates come with a safety bar on top, which lets your dog put his paws atop the gate without getting caught in the slats. The top bar also protects your hands when you are opening and closing the gate. The latching mechanism used in the accordion gate is simple for adults to release quickly, yet it is complex enough to stop kids from operating it.
You can get an accordion gate of the right height to prevent your large dog from jumping over into the restricted area on the other side. The gate is also useful when you want to keep your toddler in a safe area. You would no longer have to constantly keep an eye on your pet or kid to make sure they are safe.
Accordion gates can be easily fixed to the entrance way with the help of the accessories and fixtures provided. For wider openings, simply expand the gate so that it covers the whole area. Even uneven openings can be blocked using the contact pads that come with an accordion gate.
An accordion gate is not designed for pressure mounting, and it depends on the wall for support, which lends it extra stability. This means that your pet can rest its paws on top of the gate and watch you moving around on the other side without bending the gate out of shape or breaking it.
You can even restrict your smaller pets with this gate. When at full expansion, the slats are narrow enough at about 3 inches to prevent small pets from gaining entry. That is why accordion gates are equally popular with owners of large dogs and small felines. With its varnished finish and elegant design, an accordion gate can be a permanent fixture even in your living room.
