Modern homes feature expansive layouts with wide doorways, open hallways, and flowing floor plans that create beautiful living spaces. But for pet owners, these wide openings present unique challenges when trying to establish safe boundaries for dogs and cats. Smart Retract offers an innovative extra wide retractable pet gate that extends up to 72 inches, making it the widest gate of its kind on the market. This retractable design transforms large openings into controlled spaces without the bulk and inconvenience of traditional dog gates.
Perfect for Wide Doorways, Hallways, and Open Floor Plans
Today’s open concept living requires pet barriers that span substantial distances while maintaining home aesthetics. Retract-A-Gate accommodates openings that leave most pet gates inadequate. Available in two models extending up to 52 inches or up to 72 inches, this gate handles wide hallways, generous kitchen entrances, and expansive doorways where conventional barriers won’t fit. The 34-inch mesh height (38 inches to the top of the locking mechanism) deters jumping and climbing for most pets, while the scratch-resistant, see-through mesh maintains sightlines throughout your home.
Households with multiple pets or large breeds need extra wide pet gates built to withstand persistent pressure. Retract-A-Gate’s mesh is designed to withstand up to 200 pounds of push-out force when properly installed and locked, resisting scratching attempts from active dogs and curious cats.
Every Retract-A-Gate is 100% manufactured in the USA using premium materials engineered for high-traffic areas. The washable mesh simplifies cleanup, while clear-colored mounting brackets blend seamlessly with your decor in Café, White, Black, and Gray finishes.
Installing an extra wide retractable gate shouldn’t require professional help. Retract-A-Gate mounts with included screws and clear wall-mounting brackets in just minutes. The brackets mount at 3-4 inches and 30½ inches off the floor and need 1.5 inches high by 0.75 inches wide of flat surface to attach to. Position the top brackets at 30½ inches off the floor, mount the lower brackets between 3-4 inches from the floor, then snap the gate into place.
Traditional pet barriers create eyesores that interrupt your home’s design flow. When retracted, Retract-A-Gate measures just 3 inches in diameter, creating a nearly invisible profile without bulky freestanding dog gate options cluttering your space.
This hardware-mounted gate provides security pressure-mounted alternatives cannot deliver. Baby Safety Alliance (formerly JPMA) verified and ASTM certified for use at both the top and bottom of stairs, Retract-A-Gate meets rigorous safety standards through annual re-testing and holds CE and EN1930 certifications for European standards while exceeding Canadian Safety Standards.
Small dogs through large breeds benefit from the extra wide coverage and substantial height this gate provides. The see-through mesh reduces anxiety by allowing pets to observe activity in other areas.
Retract-A-Gate’s one-handed operation allows you to manage the gate while carrying groceries or laundry. The childproof dual-action push and turn knob locks securely, providing safety that’s easy for adults yet challenging for children.
The step-through capability means you don’t need to fully retract the gate every time. The automatic spring rewind eliminates hand-winding—simply unlock the knob and guide the fabric back as it rewinds in seconds.
The standout advantage of Retract-A-Gate over conventional pet gates is the ability to install at nearly any angle or diagonal, essential for homes with unique architectural features. Whether you need an outdoor dog gate for your deck entrance or an indoor barrier for your kitchen, the engineering of the wall brackets provides versatility while maintaining secure attachment.
Universal Mounting Bracket Kits allow you to install your gate in multiple locations. The gate easily pops out and snaps into different bracket sets, providing flexibility as your needs change. For stair banisters where drilling isn’t desirable, an adapter board (provided by the customer) offers an alternative—a standard board at least 1.5 inches wide, one inch thick, and 32 inches tall (though it may need to be taller depending on the configuration of your banister) creates a suitable mounting surface.
