Rarely. Of the 16 with a height, Unipaws’ 74 in gate and Richell’s 70 in gate span 37.5 in at most, while Carlson’s 2036 reaches 144 in at 36 in tall.
NMN Designs’ EW-42 (42 in, up to 117 in) is the exception.

How the comparison works
Your choices are compared with each model’s product details. A missing or conflicting value stays unknown and cannot satisfy a choice you select. The starting order helps you browse; it does not rate real-world performance.
Source dates appear with each link below. A source date does not confirm today's price or stock.

Compare the opening with a paired width range
Baby Delight’s SizeWise hardware-mounted gate fits widths of 26 to 52 in; North States’ Extra-Wide Petgate spans 22 to 62 in. Compare your opening with both ends of the same gate’s range and the extensions needed for that configuration.
Paired minimum and maximum widths exist for 11 gates. A single width elsewhere in the table is not an adjustable range. Gatekeepers and HIDEAGATE describe custom sizes, so their numeric fit cannot be settled by these controls.
Wall work and freestanding placement are different commitments
Baby Delight’s SizeWise uses a hardware mount; Frontgate’s barrier is freestanding; HIDEAGATE’s retractable design mounts inside the wall. Choose an installation your opening can accommodate before comparing finishes or door features.
This is a fit-and-mount comparison without containment trials with pets. A mounting label is not approval for a stairway or another specific placement. Use the selected gate’s installation instructions to decide that.
A taller barrier still needs a pet-specific containment check
Numeric heights span 29.5 to 74 in. Unipaws’ Extra Tall Cat Pet Gate is 74 in tall and fits a 34.4 to 36.4 in opening; Frontgate’s freestanding barrier is 34 in tall and spans 54.75 to 68.5 in. Height and opening width vary together, so choose the complete fit rather than height alone.
Some custom designs lack numeric heights. None of these measurements proves that an animal cannot climb or jump the barrier. Consider latch access and your pet’s behavior alongside the maker’s placement guidance.
Before you buy
Will a gate fit my doorway if the width is right?
Look at both ends of the range against your opening. North States’ Extra-Wide Petgate spans 22 to 62 in and Frontgate’s freestanding barrier 54.75 to 68.5 in, so an opening can be too narrow for some gates as well as too wide. Rarely. Of the 16 with a height, Unipaws’ 74 in gate and Richell’s 70 in gate span 37.5 in at most, while Carlson’s 2036 reaches 144 in at 36 in tall. NMN Designs’ EW-42 (42 in, up to 117 in) is the exception. At stair tops, use only a gate sold for them, like Regalo’s 1210.
Are freestanding and mounted gates interchangeable?
They install differently. Hiddin’s clear acrylic panel and Frontgate’s barrier stand on their own, eight gates here are hardware-mounted, and The Stair Barrier fastens banister to banister, so a gate that suits your doorway may not suit your stairwell.
Does a taller gate keep a dog in?
Not by itself. Jumping, climbing and pushing vary by animal, so watch how your dog handles it, and no gate here, from the 29.5 in OfficialDogHouse ODIHMMG up, comes with a containment figure.
