What is Retract-A-Gate?
Retract-A-Gate is a retractable safety gate made from a tough, see-through mesh panel that rolls out of a slim wall-mounted housing and locks in place across your opening. Pull it across in a second to close off stairs, doorways, hallways, decks and rooms — then release the latch and it retracts fully out of sight. There is no bulky frame swinging into the walkway, no bar across the floor to trip over, and no eyesore parked in your hallway all day. It is the widest and tallest retractable gate on the market, and the safest way to close a space you don't want to close off permanently.
Independently tested and certified by the JPMA for use at the top and bottom of stairs — the highest standard a retractable safety gate can meet.
Stretches to a full 71 inches wide and stands 34 inches tall, fitting openings other gates simply can't cover.
Works indoors at stairs, hallways and doorways, or outdoors on decks and patios. Weather-resistant housing handles sun and rain.
Heavy-duty polyester mesh resists chewing, clawing and pushing. The locking mechanism holds firm against even a determined large dog.
Designed, manufactured and assembled in the USA from American-sourced components — higher tolerances and real quality control.
Release the latch and the mesh glides back into its slim housing on its own — no panel, no bar, no eyesore in your doorway.
Locks anywhere along its travel — ideal for angled walls, odd openings and spaces that aren't perfectly square.
Add extra bracket kits and move the gate to another room in seconds — one gate can protect the stairs today and the back door tomorrow.
Satisfaction Guarantee
We want you to love your gate — and if you don't, we'll make it right. Every Retract-A-Gate is backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee and a 1-year manufacturer warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. Install it, live with it, and if it isn't the gate for your home, send it back for a full refund of the purchase price.
Because we build the gates ourselves, support doesn't end at the sale. Need a replacement bracket, a longer screw for a plaster wall, or a spare latch three years from now? Call us and we'll ship the part — no proof-of-purchase scavenger hunt, no being told to just buy a new gate.
JPMA Certified Retractable Stair Gate
Stairs are where a gate has to be right. Retract-A-Gate is independently tested to ASTM standards and JPMA certified for use at both the top and the bottom of a staircase — a rating most retractable gates cannot claim. The gate hardware mounts directly into studs, banisters or newel posts, so there is nothing propped against the wall and nothing to knock loose.
At the top of the stairs the mesh locks flat with no bottom bar, so nobody stubs a toe or trips on a threshold in the middle of the night. Banister adapter kits are available for round, square and angled posts, and our team will tell you exactly which hardware your staircase needs before you buy.
Get Expert Help Before You Buy
No two openings are the same, and a gate that doesn't fit is no gate at all. Before you order, our team will personally review your space and confirm the exact model, mounting hardware and adapters you need. We've been doing this for over twenty years — chances are we've already solved your exact opening.
Here's how to get your free recommendation:
Take a photo of the area where you want to install Retract-A-Gate, including the full width of the opening.
Email the photo as an attachment to info@SmartRetract.com along with the width measurement of your opening.
That's it — sit back and let us do the work. A specialist will reply quickly with a tailored recommendation, at no cost and no obligation.
Easy Installation
Installation is a screwdriver-and-drill job, not a project. Every gate ships with the housing, the latch post, all mounting hardware, a template and illustrated instructions. Mark the bracket positions with the template, drive four screws on each side, clip the gate into place and you're done — most customers finish in twenty to thirty minutes.
Measure Your Opening
Wall to wall at the height you'll mount the gate. Anything up to 71 inches is covered.
Mount the Brackets
Use the included template to mark and drill. Anchors for drywall, wood, plaster, metal and stone are available.
Clip In and Test
Slide the gate onto the brackets, pull the mesh across and check the latch locks firmly.
Renting, or mounting on a surface you'd rather not drill? Ask about our no-drill banister adapters and pressure-mount options — a specialist will walk you through them.
30-day, no-questions-asked guarantee
We manufacture, assemble, inspect, test and package every single gate in our own facility. Return it clean and undamaged within 30 days for a full refund.
