Designed for both easy installation and easy use, the Retract-A-Gate retractable dog and pet gate can be installed in a wide variety of locations. Within a doorway, around the corner of a walkway or door, at the top or bottom of a staircase, or even at an angle are just some of the possibilities. Many customers have also attached their gates to stair posts or baluster spindles, or even to wrought iron railings. We pledge to you – our gate offers ease of installation, simplicity and durability that is head-and-shoulders above other safety gates in its class.
Four identical brackets are used in installation – two brackets on either side of the opening. The brackets require approximately 6cm of flat surface to mount to, and will be attached at 8cm and 77.5cm from the floor. After the brackets are mounted, the width across the opening (horizontally) between the upper and lower brackets must be the same, providing a proper fit for the dog gate and keeping it square. The final step is simply snapping the gate into the brackets – and the safety gate is ready for use.
See our Install & Specs Page for more information on installation.
Some installations have special circumstances, and we offer some optional accessory items to help with that. These are summarized below. For more information or to purchase these accessories click here.
The Retract-A-Gate unrolls easily when the mesh is pulled across the opening. It extends across any opening up to its maximum width, and locks securely in place.
Two brackets are attached to both sides of the desired opening, and the gate’s reel side is snapped into one pair of brackets. The handle side is pulled out and hooked into the opposite pair of brackets. Although the push-and-turn lock is quick and easy for adults to use, it is dog-proof and safe. Using Retract-A-Gate is that simple – and in its class, it is the only dog gate that offers true one-handed operation.
Retract-A-Gate undergoes annual testing and certification to meet United Kingdom and the European Union (EU) safety gate and enclosure standards. In addition, the gate is also tested each year for all necessary safety gate requirements and regulations for distribution throughout the United States and Canada. We are also proud to report that several prominent safety and parenting organizations have awarded Retract-A-Gate for excellence in safety, durability and quality. We have put a great deal of thought and effort into the engineering and design of all of our gates, and we are sure that you will be satisfied with your product from Smart Retract.
