Pet & Child Safety Gates
Custom Safety & Pet Gates
Keep dogs, toddlers, and curious paws out of the rooms, stairways, and fireplaces that matter — without sacrificing the beauty of your home. Each gate is custom-built and finished to match your existing railings and woodwork.
Forged to Last
Solid wrought iron and hardwood — not flimsy pressure-fit plastic. Built to take leaning, pawing, and years of daily use.
Made to Measure
Custom sized to your exact opening, from a narrow hallway to a wide staircase or an angled fireplace nook.
Matches Your Home
Any color, finish, or scroll design. We can match your existing balusters, handrails, and stained treads.
Pet & Child Safe
Smooth edges, secure self-closing latches, and spacing designed to keep little ones and pets safely on the right side.

Safety & Care Notes
- Self-closing, auto-latching hinges available so the gate never gets left open.
- Baluster spacing built to safe standards to prevent pets or children slipping through or getting stuck.
- Wipe iron gates with a soft, dry cloth; touch up the finish as needed to keep it looking new.
- Hardware-mounted gates are strongly recommended at the top of stairs for maximum security.
- Hardwood gates: dust regularly and avoid harsh cleaners to protect the stain and finish.
