With a long history of successfully containing pets, Retract-A-Gate has been proven to stand up well for your dog or cat.

The Retract-A-Gate was designed to be easy to install, as well as use. The safety gate can be installed inside a doorway or hallway, around the corner of an opening, at the top of stairs, the bottom of stairs, or even at an angle. Whether its indoors or outdoors, the versatility of Retract-A-Gate works in virtually any location.
For installation, there are four identical brackets you will install; two on either side of the opening. The brackets mount at 3-4 inches and 30½ inches off the floor and need about 0.75 inches wide by 1.5 inches high of flat surface to attach to. All that’s left is to snap the gate into the brackets, and that’s it…the safety gate is ready to use.
