Retract-A-Gate is a safety gate for your cat that was engineered specifically to be simple to operate, easy to use, easy to install, and durable-yet-stylish, and most of all, safe. There are a lot of gates that you can use for your cat, but none offer more value than Retract-A-Gate. Owning and using a Retract-A-Gate is truly an investment for your home and your family, which is why we build each and every gate with the highest quality standards. We have also extensively tested and used our competitors’ retractable gates and are familiar with their function and quality. Retract-A-Gate has distinct advantages over these imitators; here are just a few of the reasons why Retract-A-Gate is the best safety gate for cats!
We designed the cat gate to not only be easy to use but also easy to install. Retract-A-Gate can be installed within a doorway, around the corner of a doorway or opening, between two walls, at the top and bottom of stairs or steps, from a wall to a banister post or spindle, and even on an angle—often with no additional accessories. No other retractable safety gate can be used in so many different installation applications or offer you the durability, safety, and peace of mind anywhere in the home. The cat gate is installed using the 4 mounting brackets that are included with every gate. The brackets mount at 3 and 30.5 inches off the floor on both sides of the opening and need about 2 and a half inches of flat surface to attach to. When installing the brackets, the horizontal distance between the two upper brackets and the horizontal distance between the two lower brackets must be identical. This will ensure that the cat gate will fit square. Once the brackets are installed, the gate simply snaps into them, and that’s it—the Retract-A-Gate is ready to use!

Operating the cat gate is as simple as 1, 2, 3!
Two low-profile brackets are installed to both sides of the area you want to block. Once installed, snap the cat gate into one pair of brackets on either side of the opening as needed. The handle can then be pulled out and hooked into the brackets on the opposite side. Once the gate is pulled across the opening, lock the gate in place. The lock is easy for adults to use, but impossible for a cat to manipulate. The best thing about this process is that it can all be easily done with only one hand!
Retract-A-Gate is professionally tested and certified each year to comply with safety gate and enclosure standards. In addition to this, the gate is also certified by passing all requirements for safety gates distributed throughout Europe.
