How does Retract-A-Gate work?
After installing the Retract-A-Gate brackets, simply attach the gate to either side of the doorway by fully snapping the gate in place into both brackets. Retract-A-Gate has a locking mechanism on it, so once you pull the mesh across and hook it in place, you then lock the gate. This keeps the gate from being pulled out or pushed down. The lock is a double acting and very secure, but simple, push and then turn mechanism. When you want to retract the gate, simply unlock and then unhook the handle rod from the brackets. The mesh will automatically rewind easily and smoothly, no manual winding is required. The whole process is very easy, can be done with one hand, and only takes a few seconds to do. Please see our Users Guide page for further details.
