Carlson Pet Products Tuffy Metal Pet Gate, White, 22–38 Inch, with Small Pet Door

Carlson Pet Products Tuffy is a pressure-mounted metal pet gate for indoor openings, with a 24-inch height and an expandable 22–38-inch width.

• Metal gate, 24 inches tall (61 cm) — creates an indoor barrier for pets.
• Expands from 22–38 inches (56–97 cm); stated doorway fit is 26–38 inches (66–97 cm) — compare the opening with both ranges.
• Patented small pet door — lets smaller pets pass while helping contain larger dogs.
• Pressure mounting with the Easy Fit Locking System — installs without tools.
• Soft rubber wall bumpers and a removable design — support wall-conscious setup and convenient storage.

For homes that need a temporary indoor boundary, the Tuffy is made for doorways, hallways, and room openings. Its built-in pass-through gives smaller pets a route through the gate while the main barrier helps keep larger dogs on the other side. The white metal frame is designed for everyday use with puppies, small dogs, and cats.

What opening does the Carlson Tuffy gate fit?

The gate expands across 22–38 inches, while its stated doorway fit range is 26–38 inches. It stands 24 inches high, so measure the opening width and consider the gate height when choosing where to place it. The slats are 1.75 inches wide (4.4 cm).

• Use it in indoor doorways, hallways, and room openings.
• Width guidance: expansion range 22–38 inches (56–97 cm); doorway fit range 26–38 inches (66–97 cm).
• Height: 24 inches (61 cm).

How does the small pet door work?

The patented small pet door allows smaller pets to pass through while the gate helps contain larger dogs. This gives households with pets of different sizes a built-in pass-through instead of requiring the entire gate to be removed for every crossing. The gate also has a step-over design for people moving between spaces.

• Small pets can use the integrated pet door.
• The main gate provides a barrier for larger dogs.
• The step-over design lets people pass over the gate.

How do you install and adjust the gate?

The Carlson Tuffy secures with pressure against the walls using its patented Easy Fit Locking System, with no tools needed. Expand the gate to the desired width, lift the locking pin and place it in an open hole, then turn the plastic knob to adjust pressure until the gate is secured against the walls. Soft rubber bumpers cushion the contact points and help prevent scuffs.

• Adjust the width by pulling the two sides apart.
• Set the locking pin before turning the pressure-adjustment knob.
• Remove the gate from the opening when you want to store it.

The lightweight, compact design is also suited to travel and storage, and the all-metal construction offers a metal alternative to plastic gates. The Tuffy is a practical fit for households seeking an adjustable indoor boundary for puppies, small dogs, or cats, especially when a small-pet pass-through is useful. Its pressure-mounted metal frame, built-in pet door, and stated opening range make it suited to indoor containment rather than an unspecified or permanent installation.
