Performance notes

The reinforced strips running through the anti-scratch mesh are built to keep the gate from sagging or bowing across its 55 inch width, which is the main durability concern with wider retractable gates, and the 42 inch height adds an extra margin against dogs that try to climb or reach over.

Frequently asked questions

What color does this gate come in?

It's available in white, so if you're looking for a black or neutral finish to match existing decor, this model only offers the one color option.

How does it prevent sagging across the width?

It uses reinforced strips built into the anti-scratch mesh, which help the gate stay taut across its 55 inch width instead of bowing in the middle over time.

Is this a wall mounted or freestanding gate?

It's a wall mounted retractable gate, so installation involves attaching mounting hardware to the wall or door frame on either side of the opening.
