Babelio Dog Gate with Cat Door Review

As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases. Details

A dog gate with a cat door solves a common problem: the dog stays out of a room while the cat goes in and out. The Babelio dog gate with an adjustable cat door is a black steel and plastic gate, 43 inches wide and 30 inches tall, with a 7 by 5.8 inch cat door that has three settings. This review uses the listing’s measurements and mounting options and notes the question the listing does not answer: what size dog the cat door will stop.

Quick answer

The Babelio gate is a 30-inch-tall steel gate that fits openings of 29 to 43 inches with included extensions, and includes a 7 by 5.8 inch cat door with three settings. It can be pressure mounted or hardware mounted. The listing lists cats, dogs and children as target users. Check the cat door’s size against your dog before you buy, since the listing does not say what size dog it blocks.

Who this gate suits

It suits a home with a cat and a dog that need separate rooms, and a doorway between about 29 and 43 inches wide. It is less suited to a small dog that can fit through a 7 by 5.8 inch opening, and to the top of a staircase with a pressure mount. The dog’s room also needs a bed and a water bowl, so see a dog bed with a built-in cover and a water bowl for dogs with no spilling.

Product pick

Check the cat door against your dog

The cat door is 7 inches by 5.8 inches. Measure your dog’s head width and chest depth and compare them with the door. Use the setting that blocks your dog best, and test it with your dog before you rely on it. A dog that can fit its head through the door can often get its body through as well. A dog that can slip past a gate may need more than a barrier, so see harnesses for small dogs that escape.

Stairs and mounting

The listing gives pressure and hardware mounts, but a pressure-mounted gate is not designed for the top of a staircase. Use a hardware-mounted gate at the top of stairs, check the mounting regularly, and do not let children or pets push on a pressure mount.

What the listing claims

The listing says the gate can withstand 210 pounds of impact. It does not say how that was tested, or whether the figure applies to a dog pushing on the gate, so treat it as the seller’s claim.

Worked example: the extensions and the doorway

The listing includes two 2.7 inch extensions and one 5.5 inch extension, so the extra length adds up to 10.9 inches (2 x 2.7 plus 5.5). Measure the doorway at the top, middle and bottom, and check that the widest reading falls within the listed 29 inch to 43 inch range.

Frequently asked questions

How wide does the gate fit?

The listing says 29 to 43 inches with extensions. Measure the opening at the top, middle and bottom.

Does the cat door close?

The listing says the cat door has three adjustable settings. It does not say whether the door closes or locks.

Is it for children?

The spec table lists children as a target. Check the age range and the gate’s safety before you use it with a young child, since the listing does not give a child safety certification.

Can I use it on stairs?

The listing gives mounting options, but it does not say which mount is for stairs. Use the hardware mount on any staircase.

Bottom line

The Babelio gate is a 29 to 43 inch steel gate with a cat door, for a home with a cat and a dog. Check that your dog cannot fit through the cat door, use the hardware mount on stairs, and treat the impact figure as the seller’s claim.
