How do I say "open the baby gate?"

Question

I'm trying to utilize Spanish in my daily life so I learn it faster. One common phrase we use here is "open the baby gate, please." The only translation I find is puerta, which is door or entry. Is this what I use, or is there a better translation? Thank you.

Answer 1

You can definitley use that. As long as the "baby gate" is implied when you say puerta, they can understand you.

Answer 2

Puerta means both door and gate. I've never heard another word used for gate, except maybe verja, which is a big entrance gate made of metal bars.
