Safety gate which is out of the way when not needed
We love Retract-A-Gate as it fit perfectly in the corner out of the way. It is not big and bulky like so many of the other baby gates. Thank you so much. I am glad we found your product!

Easy to use retractable dog gate and cat gate
As pet owners, we have found Retract-A-Gate to be just what we were looking for. Its simple, one-handed operation lets us access the second floor easily while keeping our two dogs and cat on the main floor.

Upscale looking baby gate
Your retractable baby gate is fantastic. It was easy to install, looks nice, and retracts easily. It was perfectly suited for our needs. We needed a good baby gate for our twins since they now move almost as fast as I can!

People friendly dog gate, great for high traffic areas
I have been using two Retract-A-Gates for three months. They are super strong, very easy to install and use, and when locked, nothing can get though them. When I purchased them, I was looking for a replacement for our metal gates. The metal gates were easy to open and close, but very difficult to remove in order to move furniture through the doorway. Also, the metal gates have a bar about 2 inches above the floor running the width of the gate. Everyone in the family and just about everyone visiting got their toes caught under the bar. Upon receiving the Retract-A-Gates, I was impressed with the construction and the durability of the material. I installed them in two doorways to keep the
animals in the kitchen and family room. They were super simple to install; also it is very easy to open and close the gate, which is important, for one doorway is a high traffic area. Thank you for designing a gate not only made for the animals, but also people friendly.

Thanks for the good quality retractable safety gate
I received the gate and installed it in the doorway and found that it is of very good quality. This gate is fantastic! It has a clean installation and is neat, rugged and functions very nicely. Worth every penny! The only other gate like this I found required the user to wind the gate back by hand. Your Retract-A-Gate is smartly engineered! Thank you for a great product.

Scratch and claw resistant retractable cat gate
We were looking for a retractable screen type mesh gate to keep our cats out of the kitchen at night. We never thought we would find a safety gate that worked with cats, and were a little skeptical at first. We love the fact that we can now keep our cats out of the kitchen and off the stove. Our three big male cats couldn't damage the Retract-A-Gate fabric with their claws or their teeth. This is tough stuff--and it looks great!

Very easy to use retractable baby gate
I love the way there's no button to hold in while unwinding and winding like the other gate we have. Thanks again.

Great customer service for this outdoor porch gate
We recently purchased a Retract-a-Gate and we love it. We looked a long t ime for an outdoor safety gate for our porch and this was perfect. I just wanted to tell you that your service was fantastic. I ordered it Thursday evening and it arrived on Monday. It looks and works great; I wish I had found it a long time ago. We use it to keep our golden retriever on the front porch. It not only keeps our retriever safe, but it is easy to open and close.

Daycare Center recommended child safety gate
I think your gate is the BEST on the market. I have a home daycare and care for 12 infants and toddlers a day. My staff of three and I go through Retract-A-Gate about 50 times a day, five days a week. It is a very good gate. I have four hard plastic gates, two wooden gates and your retractable gate. I will buy another Retract-A-Gate from you soon to replace one of my other gates. I do think for most applications it is absolutely the BEST gate on the market.

An affordable safety barrier that even works for angled openings
I just wanted to personally tell you how pleased I am with my Retract -A-Gate. I was impressed with how fast it got here, and I am beyond impressed with your product and how versatile it is. I was so frustrated trying to find something that would fit the weird opening I have between my kitchen and family room. Not only did I find the perfect gate, but I also found an affordable one. The fact that
it is retractable is a huge plus. You guys are awesome, and I will be sending plenty more business your way!

One retractable safety gate works for TWO locations
I received my new Retract-A-Gate yesterday and installed it in the primary location this morning. The installation was very easy and the gate works like a CHARM! I am particularly happy with it as I have installed it in a location across a diagonal opening from one wall corner to another. It works PERFECTLY and has created a perfect gating set-up for my needs. I also purchased extra brackets for an alternate location across a doorway. THANKS so much!

A kid gate that is highly recommended
We are enjoying our Retract-A-Gate and have had several compliments on it from friends with kids. We sent them your way. Thanks for making such a nice product.
Amy P. - Seattle, WA

Safety gates blend well with our decor and make great baby shower gifts
We installed both gates and I must say Retract-A-Gate is really a nice color. The Café Latte color blends in well with the surroundings, and is not as noticeable as other white gates we've had in the past. I'm so happy with Retract-A-Gate that I plan to purchase another gate as a baby shower gift for a friend.
Missy B. - Wauconda, IL

Great service and a great retractable baby gate
A BIG thanks to your customer service. You replied quickly to my emails and addressed our questions instantly. Thank you so much for your help, your service is outstanding! And we love the retractable gates! They work perfectly for our 10 month old daughter and our big furry dog. Most especially for our
daughter who is crawling faster and faster each day. Thank you again!

Your retractable pet gate works where others have failed
I received the two retractable pet gates I ordered from you yesterday, WOW such fast shipping!!! They were very easy to install; your instructions are right on the money. We have three small dogs that we bought these for. I installed one to keep them all contained in our kitchen. Our most troublesome dog is a Chihuahua/Italian greyhound mix that weighs 15 lbs. She likes to make mistakes on carpets. She has jumped over every other gate we have installed in the past. For what ever reason, this one has foiled all of her efforts to get out. She tried digging at it, getting under it and so far cannot jump over it. It is
higher than all of our other gates and I think she doesn't like the texture of the netting. Hooray, we thank you so much for this great product!!!! Our house thanks you too!

Easy to follow directions; love the gate
I recently purchased the Retract-A-Gate and banister kits; it's much better than expected… directions were great; we absolutely LOVE IT!! We are so pleased.

Going strong after a year of child care use
I purchased this gate about a year ago. I wanted to wait until I "tested" it, over time, before recommending it to others. I LOVE it!

I do family child care in my home and watch 6 children. My pressure gate was always falling down and I had to store it on weekends. Your gate has held up so well and it has made my life much easier! I recommend it to other home care providers.

Canadian happy with quality and ease-of-use
I live in Ottawa, Canada and have been using the Retract-A-Gate for about 6 months. This is the most effective, best-designed and built, and easiest-to-use child safety gate that I have ever experienced. It operates easily with one hand, leaving the other free to manage the child or do whatever else needs to be done concurrently with operating the gate. Thank you for the excellent product ... and keep up the good work!

Highly recommended stair gate and moves easily with optional bracket kit
We got our gate installed at the top of the stairs today for our 8 month old daughter and love it! We are going to order another one for the familyroom/kitchen doorway and extra brackets for the bottom of the stairs so we can use the 1 gate between top & bottom stairs! I am also emailing all of my new mommy friends to let them know we feel this gate is definitely worth it!! Thanks for a great product!

Retract-A-Gate fits odd angles
I am so thrilled to finally have gates that fit my oddly angled and oddly spaced walls that I can't thank you enough for this product. I have tried several types of gates only to have to return them. I was also pleased with how easy they were to install. I will recommend your product to anyone I come across who is searching for a gate. Thank you, thank you!
Chris B. - Snow Camp, NC

Amazing gate and service
I wanted to let you know I got my gate up... AND I LOVE IT!! I have spent upwards of about $300 on gates before yours. Your gate is simply a phenom. Thank you so much. Your website was friendly, service is outstanding, and the gate is amazing.

Safety gate with a nice neutral color and low profile
Hi, I just want to say thank you for the perfect gate for our home. There is no other product like this one! It works beautifully to separate our family room from the rest of the house so our pets can be confined in one room during the day when we are at work. It looks great, the neutral color is perfect and it was easy to install and use. It is barely noticeable when it is open, which I love. I hated the idea of a big, ugly gate in our house. I am so glad I found your website! Thank you again for solving a huge problem for us!

Simple one-handed flawless operation
We received our Retract-A-Gate promptly. It was easy to install and has been working flawlessly. I love the one handed operation and the fact that I can circle the gate around the puppy holding her back while I walk through the gate. I thought surely she would try to burrow under the gate, but so far she hasn't. I also have a 6 month old grandson and this gate corrals him when he visits. Great product!
Melinda T. - La Marque, TX

Gate which is durable and easy to use
Just wanted to say thanks for the best dog gate ever! I have 3 large Greyhounds and their dog room is between the kitchen and the garage. I like to keep the garage door open for air circulation and it is a heavily used entrance/exit to the house. To complicate it, the room is 2 steps down from the garage. No other dog door was practical but this one is fantastic and so easy to use. I can leave the door open with the gate in place when I leave and since the dogs can now see me they no longer jump and scratch at the door. The mesh is still perfect even though they occasionally get excited on my return and have jumped up and scratched it. This gate is well worth the money. Convenience, quality, and prompt delivery - a rare experience these days. Thanks again for making my life easier!

Retract-A-Gate for an RV motor home
I have found the Retract-A-Gate to be the best pet gate for keeping dogs out of the drivers seat (see photo of Greg, our Italian Spinone). We wanted a gate that was easy to install and one that would not take up much room. This was the perfect one for our motor home; we spent days looking for the right one. Retract-A-Gate is the perfect gate for keeping our dogs where they belong. Thanks, you have a very good product!
Chuck & Sharon R. - Syracuse, NY

Best retractable gate on the market
I love my Retract-A-Gate! It was easy to install and looks great. Best of all, I can open and close it with one hand which is important since I'm usually carrying my child. The gate is very slim and takes up a small amount of space when retracted. We had a retractable gate by a different company that was very hard to operate and install. The Retract-A-Gate is a HUGE improvement over the other brand! Customer service was great. They responded to my order quickly and shipping was fast. We love our Retract-A-Gate so much that now we own three of them. Thanks for providing such an awesome product.
Pam S. - Jacksonville, FL

Retract-A-Gate recommended to other moms
We just installed our Retract-a-Gate at the top of the stairs on our outdoor deck, and I was so impressed by its strength (even at 60 inches!) and discreet design that I sent out a recommendation to the "Highlands Mommies" listserve - a group of Denver moms over 1,000 strong! I hope some of them find the product as amazing as my husband and I do. Good luck.
Nikki S. - Denver, CO

Thanks for the installation advice
I wanted to thank you for the gates. Installation was fast and easy, and the mechanism is easy enough for my 4.5 year old to open and close (that's a good thing for us). Anyway, thanks for taking the time to look at our pictures and make your recommendations. It's working out nicely.
Dafna A. - Riverwoods, IL

Dependable and secure safety gate
Thank You! Thank You! For making such a wonderful product! I searched all over the internet for an easy to use gate for the top of our stairs. Your product is the safest, easiest to use, and installs very quickly! We love our new gate. I tell everyone I know about how great this gate is. Thank you for making such a dependable product!

Scratch resistant dog and cat gate
I originally bought these Retract-A-Gate gates for my son but it has actually worked wonders for my cat and dog.

My cat has a habit (or should I say 'had') of going to our bedroom door around 4 a.m. and meowing and meowing until we let her in (she never wanted to be fed, just wanted in). Now I put up the gates at night and she can't jump over them. It keeps her away from my bedroom door and I can sleep great!

She hasn't tried to claw the gates but it says it is scratch-resistant and I can see that the material is very sturdy and it's a nice tan color, so very neutral. I'd highly recommend it.
