Frequently Asked Questions

Will this gate fit my doorway in my Australian home?

The Alston 76cm gate is designed to fit doorway openings from 75cm to 105cm wide, which covers most standard Australian doorways and hallways. It comes with two extension panels (12cm and 24cm) that you can use together or separately to adjust the width. If your opening is between 75–105cm, this gate will work perfectly for you. Measure your doorway width before ordering to confirm it's within this range.

Is installation difficult, and can I install it without damaging my walls?

No, installation is straightforward and wall-friendly. The Alston uses a pressure mount design with no drilling required, so you won't damage your walls or need to fill holes when you remove it. The setup is quick—just position the gate in your doorway and adjust the pressure mounts. It's ideal for rental properties or if you want to avoid permanent damage to your home. The gate features upgraded thickened tube walls for stability, so it stays secure without wall anchors.

Can my cat actually use the lockable pet door?

Yes, the lockable pet door is specifically designed for cats and small dogs. The pet door operates with a simple knob mechanism: turn it clockwise to unlock (allowing your cat to pass through) and counter-clockwise to lock (preventing access). This gives you control over when your pet can move between areas. The door opens both ways, so your cat can use it from either side of the gate.

How tall is this gate, and is it tall enough to keep children contained?

The Alston gate stands 76cm tall, which is considerably taller than standard baby gates (many are only 71cm). This extra height makes it more effective at preventing toddlers from climbing over it. It's suitable for use on stairs, doorways, and hallways, and works well for families with young children who need secure containment. The auto-close mechanism with gravity ensures the gate closes every time, adding an extra safety layer.

What's the delivery and return process from Yarra Supply?

Yarra Supply offers Australia-wide free shipping on the Alston gate, so there are no hidden postage costs regardless of where you are in Australia. If you're not completely satisfied, they have a hassle-free 30-day returns policy. Simply contact them within 30 days if you need to return or exchange the gate. This gives you peace of mind when ordering online.

Does this gate close automatically, or do I need to close it manually every time?

The gate features an auto-close mechanism powered by gravity, so it closes automatically after you pass through. You don't need to remember to close it manually, which is a huge safety feature for families with young children. The handle is designed so adults can open it easily with one hand while carrying a child or holding something else, making it practical for busy households.

How does this compare to other baby gates, and why should I choose this one?

The Alston 76cm gate stands out because of its extra height (76cm vs. typical 71cm gates), lockable pet door feature, auto-close mechanism, and wall-friendly pressure mount installation. It's also adjustable from 75–105cm wide, so it's more versatile than fixed-width gates. At AUD $69.95, it offers excellent value for families needing both child safety and pet access. The upgraded thickened tube construction also means it's built to last, unlike cheaper alternatives that can feel wobbly.
