Product Description
The Hide Away Gate with Retractable Convenience is designed to provide safety when parents need it and virtually "disappear" when not needed. This protective mesh barrier has no footholds for climbing, a two-step locking mechanism which is easy for adults but too difficult for children, and is hardware-mounted for added security. Unlike other safety gates, this gate fully retracts keeping entryways open without any tripping hazards or hurdles. For between the room and bottom of stair use only. This gate is not recommended for top of stairs. Extends from 24" - 42" inches wide and mesh barrier is 31" tall.

 Loud, but we like it December 14, 2008
We just installed this gate and here's what we think: Yes it is loud. Yes the screws are garbage, you need your own and you need anchors for drywall.
What we like about it is that it is out of the way when not in use, and for us we don't see using it when the baby is asleep. It will be used once he wakes up.
 Good idea, POORLY executed (if at all) December 10, 2008
This is the worst gate ever. The materials are extremely cheap; don't bother with the screws - buy your own. The gate randomly doesn't lock, although it always latches. This means that anyone leaning on the mesh will fall forward. Ours is at the bottom of the stairs (it should NEVER be used at the top), which means that when you fall forward, you land on the stairs and can climb up!! When it does lock, it is REALLY loud when you open and close it.
 Noisy, Cheap Hardware, Disappointing October 14, 2008
I needed this gate for our hallway as the walls are not plumb and it is impossible to get a tension mounted gate to stand firmly (without toppling over with the slightest bit of pressure from a baby leaning on it). I also love the idea of not having to constantly take down and put back up the gate. It seemed to make so much sense to have a retractable gate! First of all, as many other people have said, the screws are absolute garbage. They stripped very easily and one broke off in the wall (now I have screw protruding from my wall). Second of all, I have quarter round besides the usual molding and so it is almost impossible to mount this gate. Maybe if I were handier I could work around it, but since I'm just your average Mom, it is turing out to be big problem. The spacers provided are helping, but they are very hard to work with. Lastly, the mechanism is definitely loud. It doesn't really bother me that much, but if you have a light sleeper in the house, it couldn't definitely be a problem. If you do get this gate, definitely get better screws and find somebody who is handy to install it for you.
Should opening a gate wake up the whole house? July 30, 2008

I own three of these gates and appreciate them from an aesthetic point of view.
Installation is not easy and you can toss out the packaged screws upon opening the box. You are going to need better screws.
You will have a hard time mounting both ends on a straight line when not dealing with a door opening. That's not really the products fault, but you better have some basic home improvement skills when dealing with these gates.
Does your baby or toddler ever fall asleep with a closed baby gate between him/her and the crib? If so, this is not the gate for you! Unless you like telling your spouse after your child has fallen asleep in the car: "You guys wait here in the hot garage while I go open all the baby gates". Yes, you can reduce (reduce, not eliminate!) the noise if you hold the gate handle and slowly let it retract. Can you do this while still maintaining a solid grip on your sleeping pride and joy? I end up trying to scale the gates while holding a sleeping child. Aren't these gates for safety?
Oh, and if your dog has a little brain power he or she will be tunneling under the gates in under 48 hours. Your toddler won't be too far behind once the dog shows him or her once or twice. But hey, they look pretty good when retracted!
Better than the pressure gate July 30, 2008
I installed this gate between the kitchen and the hallway. I wanted a gate that wasn't always in the way like the pressure gate we have at the bottom of the stairs.This one is out of the way when we aren't using it, and can be closed with one hand after I've swooped the ten month old up from where she's not supposed to be!I was a lttle worried about the twenty month old destroying it because she pulls down on the fabric pretty hard when she sees her uncle walk over it. So far after two weeks it is good as new though, so we'll see.This is a good gate for anyone who doesn't want to mess with a gate when they're not using it.I just wish they had something like this that could be used at the top of the stairs.
