FAQ About Retractable Gate
After installing the Mounting Brackets, simply attach the safety gate to either side of the doorway by fully snapping the gate into both brackets. The baby gate has a secure lock on it, so once you pull the mesh across and hook it in place; you can then lock the retractable safety gate. The lock is a double acting (and very secure but simple) push and then turn mechanism. This keeps the retractable safety gate from being pulled out or pushed down. When you want to retract the baby gate, simply unlock and then unhook the handle rod from the brackets.

We offer two Retract-A-Gate models which fit within openings UP TO a maximum of 52 or 72 inches. These maximums are the total distance (gate and brackets) that the baby gate can cover if the gate is installed within an opening. The height of the mesh on the retractable baby gate is 34 inches and the total height to the top of the lock is just under 38 inches. The wall brackets must be mounted about 3 and 30.5 inches off the floor and require about 2.5 inches of flat surface to attach to. There is some leeway to the height for where the brackets are mounted, especially on the reel side that holds the safety gate. When completely retracted, Retract-A-Gate is less than 4 inches wide.
