5.0 out of 5 stars Well built and easy to install

We bought this to keep our dogs from going upstairs. It is very easy to install. My 16 year old son did it independently. It opens and closes smoothly with one hand. It successfully keeps 2 of our dogs contained. However, our littlest dachshund easily slips underneath it. I recommend this product.

4.0 out of 5 stars Convenient retractable gate with some caveats

I like this gate for my family.PROS: retractable, tall enough, wide enough, has locking mechanism, good neutral color, easy set up, intuitive and functional (even kids can learn how to use)CONS: can only attach 1 way (left retractable base w/ right hook closure), mesh "gate" not as sturdy or firm as expected, may not hold up to more rambunctious children or pets, plastic parts

5.0 out of 5 stars Well made, works and looks great after a lot of use and abuse. Unobtrusive when not in use.

Lifesaver. We probably open and close this 75 times a day and still working perfectly. Easy to connect to hooks with one hand, even the bottom hook. Using it for dogs and as long as both hooks are connected they try but can't sneak under it. And love that the entire thing can be easily removed when having company, however it's hardly noticeable when rolled back. We have expensive wood gates with doors in other areas and prefer this one for its ease of use and that it's not noticeable when not in use. Easy to assemble

This is perfect for keeping my grand dogs in their area. The mesh is strong and of good quality. Very easy to install and it retracts fluidly. We have a big dog and it is tall enough to keep her contained as well.

We purchased the Cideny Retractable Baby Gate for our home and are really happy with it! Installation was straightforward and didn’t require a ton of tools or effort — the instructions were clear and it went up quickly. That was a huge relief, since so many baby gates can be a pain to put in.Once installed, it feels sturdy and reliable. We’ve used it at the top of stairs, and it’s worked exactly as expected. The retractable design is so convenient — it rolls back smoothly when we need to go through, and snaps securely into place to keep our toddler out of off-limits areas. It’s also sleek and unobtrusive, so it doesn’t stick out the way some metal gates do.Overall, this baby gate gives us peace of mind without making daily life any harder. If you’re looking for a simple, well-made, easy-to-install safety gate, this one is definitely worth it!

Decent retractable baby gate. Got the gray one and it’s not too obtrusive. Looks pretty good and was pretty easy to install. Worked well with our pretty tall floor board.

Got these to block access to the kitchen, and they were perfect. We have a toddler who loves to play with the stove, and the cabinets, and being able to keep them out was great. It was easy to install because the install template was perfect. It is very sturdy adn safe an looks great as the color matches our kitchen. It is easy to open and close and can be locked so they cant pull on it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Best design for retractable gate - no replacement or extra catches available

2026-01-07    -williewiskers

This is a great gate. I ordered this one after seeing a similar one at my sister's house. I like the locking mechanism better than the rotating ones. I took off one star because the latching setup for the gate is reversed from all the other models offered on Amazon. This model has hooks on the gate and bars on the wall. The gate works much better this way but there are no replacement catches of this type available on amazon so I cant set it up to close openings in multiple directions. This would be 5-star if the seller made extra catches available for purchase
