WOMHOM100 Inch Wide Retractable Baby & Dog Gate - Extra Long, Mesh, Grey

Purchased this to put on the back of our enclosed racing trailer to keep our toddler corralled at the racetrack. It gets the job done and was pretty easy to install. You do have to drill, which I'm not usually a fan of doing, but it was super easy and quick.

Pros:It looks niceFYI:You need to make a full commitment to where you want this, and use stronger anchors than what is provided with the contents.The full commitment is needed, as you are making this gate a permanent fixture in your home. You are making holes in your walls that will need real drywall repair, and paint, whenever this gate is removed.Cons:1) If you accidentally leave the gate unlocked, while the gate is extended and latched onto the hooks: if you accidentally let go of the gate, it has strong force and will slam all the way back to the base, and can rip the base out of your dry wall.You absolutely must lock the base, after you extend the gate to the hooks.2) Once you latch the gate to the hooks, and you lock the base, you cannot unlatch from the hooks. That’s good, as far as the kids not being able to unlatch it. But when you are ready to unlatch it, you absolutely need to think it through, and first unlock the base, and then go to the latch side and firmly grip it, and do not let go, and you need to guide it all the way back to the base.3) The commercial for this shows a lady, holding a baby, reaching down to unlatch the gate, and walks through. No. No holding anything. Haha. Unlatching this gate often is a no go. Latch the gate and leave it that way. This is not a walk-through-all-day gate.If you want a gate you can walk through, throughout each day, get a gate with a door you can open and shut. The retractable gate is not that.4) When the toddler decides to pull on it with full force, you have high worry of the base, or the latches, coming out of the wall, and destroying your drywall.5) For the reasons above, I do not see this gate lasting long, unless we latch it and leave it there almost permanently. And keep kids away from it. I can’t imagine a dog jumping on it. Your drywall won’t last long.It looks nice though. While the dry wall holds up, however long that may be.

This works great to keep dogs out of living area while baby plays. Love that you can close it up easily. Does my dog poke her head under? Yes. Has she successfully gone over or under? No. Is it a matter of time? Maybe.Since this is so long, it does start to sag a little up top over time. Not too terrible though. Very easy to mount and comes with all the hardware you need. My baby (25lb) can stand and put all weight against it when locked.Side note: easy to clean. Dog hair, slobber, and spit up have been removed easily.

Well-made product—good quality. The gate was mounted outside in a covered area. Unfortunately the type of siding on the house is overlapping shingles, shims had to be used on the opening end to assure a level gate top and no damage to siding. It’s not as easy as drilling a few screws. Novices need to make sure the mounting brackets are plumb.

I have a very, very tall Great Dane who thinks he's a reindeer sometimes that can leap over small mountains. He doesn't even try with this gate. I put it up between the living room and dining area to keep him from counter surfing (55" width) and he has never even once attempted to jump it. It is super easy to retract back and forth and the lock button is an easy one-handed method. I have since purchased two more for my deck openings to keep him off the deck and they are great.

Well this thing was useless. My baby learned how to push it up with her hand and then squeeze her head under it. It does not matter how tight it is or if it's locked.it was good for a while when she hadn't figured out that she could get under it. But even then, it was impossible to operate with one hand. (Which I found extremely annoying as I often only have 1 hand available)It also wrinkles really easily. And it snaps back super fast. My three year old was trying to be helpful and close the gate for me but it's under so much tension that she let it go by accident and it snapped back so hard and wrinkled. It was extremely loud and annoyingI started piling random objects up along the entire length of the gate to deter my baby from getting through. And in doing so I thought, what exactly is the purpose of this thing?In writing this review, I see that I'm still within my return window. I'm probably going to return it. As it's doing nothing for me.I would absolutely NOT use this at the top of your stairs!!!!!

Size is accurate, easy installation!Very durable and is exactly what I wanted! Highly recommend!

Update: The seller reached out and offered me a refund, so I’m updating to reflect this positive customer service experience. Thank you.We have owned this retractable gate for less than 4 months to protect our baby (now 12 months old) from the stairs. We noticed this morning that the plastic handle has cracked in two places from normal, everyday use. Would NOT recommend.

Excelente

happy

easy to install and does the job fine

100per cent worth the money! We got it for our 1 year old for the patio doors as we live in an apartment, -it’s so easy and less hassle than other ones we have had ! Definitely recommend for baby’s or pets !

When our dog was a small pup she could get under neath but as she has got bigger she can no longer fit. Great way to get a bit of peace when cooking, it’s safer too.
