Kidco Retractable Safeway Gate - Retractable Gate with Durable Mesh for Child Protection

I've installed a number of gates for the last 20 years and KidCo has always been the gate we used. This is our first retractable gate but it also works perfectly. This time installed to keep our dogs out of certain parts of the house. It's hardware mounted so it takes a little more time to install but once I got it in I was impressed with how well it works. We have it extended almost to it's maximum 55" length for our entry hallway. It is easy to open and close and the dogs haven't tried to defeat it so far. Some caution is needed when unlatching with one hand as sometimes it can slip out of your hand and snap all the way to the wall. I like the gate a lot!

Definitely a sleeker and less bulky gate than the metal swinging one we’ve had for years. And although it can be opened with one hand, it’s not always easy to do so because of where the latch is so that’s been a bit of an adjustment. Easy to install. Overall, I like it.

They’re pretty excellent. A little noisy at times, but otherwise exactly what I was looking for. Low profile, one handed open, great for wide or asymmetric spaces.

Tested a few different gates, and this was by far the highest quality and easiest to install. The customer service from KidCo is also very quick to respond. Would highly recommend.

Installed to keep my granddaughter from accessing the stairs. Works as promised and I am able to take gate down easily and store when she is not here.

I bought this at a local store hoping to keep my cats apart. Unfortunately, the netting was loose on the bottom and a furball would have been able to scoot under the "gate". Back to the store it goes. This may work fine for a larger pet.

I like the product, but I wish the mechanism to open and close was easier. I was under the impression it was a magnet mechanism, its not, my fault should have looked closer at the description before purchasing. My older kids have trouble opening and closing it. The material is sagging or wrinkled when pulled taut to other side. All in all, It does the job of protection which is the most important aspect to us. Will continue to use.
