best dog gates/barriers

please can you recommend - or not recommend - a good retractable dog gate?
It needs to fill a 130cm gap, and will be used to stop 2 dogs running out the front door.

Dogs are a border terrier and a sprocker spaniel. Tbh they are pretty good, but I'd feel safer if there was a barrier there.
Thank you.

I've got dreambaby retractable gates from Argos. They're brilliant - come with 2 fittings in each pack so you can have 2 positions for each gate. They send the spacers (if you're putting it over skirting) for free as well.

I'd recommend the Dog G8, they work really well for front doors in particular

Thanks,
I've sent a message to G8 for a quote for a 130cm gate.
I worry that my terrier would scratch/bite through a mesh one.

We had a mesh one, fine for our pug, also ok for our malamute for a couple of months, he then could get over it, under it, rip it apart and completely break it, he's not even a particularly destructive dog, just determined to escape! He was well over 20kg by then though so a terrier should be fine.

We now have a pressure fit metal extra tall gate that has a door in it. He took one look at it and decided he won't bother to escape with that in the way. Weirdly we have a low-ish one in the kitchen too and he doesn't go near that either, he could easily climb over it. So strange.
