What this retractable gate does

Moves room to room

The 4 mount sets stay on the wall, so one gate moves between up to 4 spots. Lift it off one set and lower it onto the next.

Drill + no-drill mounts included

Every gate comes with 2 drill mount sets and 2 no-drill mount sets, so you get both kinds. 4 corner guards are in the box too.

One-hand twist lock

Press and turn the cap to lock or unlock with one hand. The gate locks on both sides.

No bottom bar

Nothing crosses the floor, so there’s nothing to trip over. The floor lock prevents crawling underneath, which helps with childproofing. You get 1 with the 71″ gate and 2 with the 118″.

2 sizes, 2 colors

Up to 71″ wide or up to 118″ wide, both 34″ tall. Each size comes in black or white.

Reinforced mesh with support rods

Fiberglass support rods run through the mesh to keep it from sagging. The mesh is scratch-resistant, bite-resistant and weather-resistant, you can see clearly through it, and it retracts fully when you don’t need it.

How the one-hand twist lock works

Tap the cap or press Replay to watch the gate unlock, extend, and lock. Switch between 71″ and 118″ to see how far each size reaches.

Animation: the cap is pressed and turned clockwise to unlock, the mesh pulls out by the handle to the selected width, both catches hook into the receiving brackets, and the cap is pressed and turned counter-clockwise to lock.

4 mount sets, 1 gate

One gate, every room

Every WANDERY gate comes with 4 mount sets: 2 drill sets and 2 no-drill sets. Fix them at up to 4 spots around your home and leave them on the wall.

Illustration: a floor plan with gate mounts at 4 spots: the nursery door, the bathroom door, the kitchen doorway, and the bottom of the stairs. Choose a spot and the gate closes there while the other mounts wait on the wall.

Where it fits

Use it as a baby gate for doorways, a dog gate in the hallway, or a pet gate across a patio, deck or balcony opening.

Find your size

Measure your opening wall to wall, at floor level. Slide to that width and we’ll show you which gate fits.

Measure your opening

  1. Measure wall to wall at floor level.
  2. Check where the lower bracket will go. It needs a flat surface: a flat baseboard, or the flat wall above curved molding.
  3. Mount between rigid surfaces such as wood or a solid wall. Never on a glass door, across a window, or in a suspended position.

Your opening is 36″. The 71″ gate covers it.Opens anywhere from fully retracted up to 71″ wide. 34″ tall.

  • Retracts fully

Fit and baseboard clearance

Baseboards change how the gate sits. The lower bracket moves up or down, so it clears your baseboard while the mesh stays low.

The lower bracket sits just above the baseboard.

  1. The lower bracket adjusts

    The lower bracket moves up or down to clear your baseboard. Set it as close to the top of the baseboard as you can. Raising the whole gate would widen the gap at the floor, so move only the bracket.

  2. Curved molding? Move the bracket up

    The bracket needs a flat surface, and a flat baseboard can work. On curved or crown molding, move the bracket up to a flat spot on the wall above it for a secure install.

How low it sits

Mounted low, the gap between the floor and the mesh can be as little as about 1″. The exact gap depends on how high you mount it. The floor lock holds the bottom of the mesh down so pets and little ones can’t squeeze under it.

Drill and no-drill mounts, both included

Every gate comes with 2 drill mount sets and 2 no-drill mount sets, so you don’t have to choose. Both hold the gate the same way: lower it onto the mount until it latches, and press the release button (C2) and lift to take it off.

Where will the gate mount?

  • Wood door frame or trimDrill mount. Use the PA4×25 screws. In hard wood, pre-drill holes no wider than 2.5 mm.
  • Concrete or tile, and you can drillDrill mount with the expansion anchors: PA4×50 screws + M8×40 anchors where there’s a baseboard, PA4×25 + anchors where there isn’t. Pre-drill hard walls.
  • Tile or another flat, smooth wall you’d rather not drillNo-drill mount. Clean and dry the wall, press each bracket for 30 seconds, then take the gate off and wait 24 hours before use.
  • Glass door, window, or nothing solidDon’t mount the gate here. Fit it between rigid surfaces such as wood or a solid wall.

Both kinds are in the box: 2 drill sets and 2 no-drill sets. The no-drill adhesive is strong and can pull paint off if removed, so put those mounts where they can stay. Not sure? Check the manual for your mounts (Download the drill-mount manual, PDF or Download the no-drill manual, PDF) or ask us.

No-drill mounts

Best for hard-to-drill surfaces like tile. They need a flat, smooth wall. The adhesive is strong and can pull paint off if you remove them, so pick spots where they can stay.

  1. Clean and dry the wall.
  2. Press each bracket in place for 30 seconds.
  3. Take the gate off and wait 24 hours before you use it.

Where not to mount

Fit the gate between rigid surfaces such as wood or a solid wall. Never mount it on a glass door, across a window, or in a suspended position.

Retractable baby gate questions

Can I move the gate between rooms?

Yes. Every gate comes with 4 mount sets, 2 drill and 2 no-drill, and they stay on the wall at up to 4 spots. Press the release button (C2) and lift the gate off one set, then lower it onto another until it latches.

How do no-drill mounts work?

They stick to a flat, smooth wall with strong adhesive, and they’re best for hard-to-drill surfaces like tile. Clean and dry the wall, press each bracket in place for 30 seconds, then take the gate off and wait 24 hours before using it. After that, the gate latches onto them the same way it does on the drill mounts. The adhesive can pull paint off if you remove the mounts later.

Do I get drill mounts or no-drill mounts?

Both. You can use either kind or mix them from room to room.

Will it fit my baseboards?

The lower bracket moves up or down, so it works with any reasonable baseboard height and sits just above your baseboard while the mesh stays low. It needs a flat surface. A flat baseboard can work, and on curved or crown molding you move the bracket up to a flat spot on the wall above it. See Fit and baseboard clearance.

How do I measure for a retractable gate?

Measure the opening wall to wall at floor level. If it’s 71″ or less, choose the 71″ gate. If it’s over 71″, up to 118″, choose the 118″ gate.

Can I use this retractable baby gate for stairs?

Yes, at the bottom of the stairs only. Mount it on the lowest step, as the instruction manual shows. There’s no bar across the floor, so nothing sits at the foot of the stairs to trip over.

Do you make an extra-wide gate?

Yes. The 118″ gate spans openings up to 118″ wide, such as wide doorways, patios and garages, and it comes with 2 floor locks. If your opening is 71″ or less, the 71″ gate covers it. Find your size.

What sizes and colors does it come in?

2 sizes, up to 71″ wide and up to 118″ wide, both 34″ tall. Each comes in black or white. The 118″ Black is temporarily out of stock on Amazon; the 118″ White is the same size.

What’s in the box?

The gate, 2 drill mount sets, 2 no-drill mount sets, and 4 corner guards. The 71″ gate comes with 1 floor lock; the 118″ gate comes with 2.

How do I lock and unlock it?

Press the cap and turn it clockwise to unlock. Pull the mesh across by the handle, hook both catches into the receiving brackets, then press and turn the cap counter-clockwise to lock. You can do it with one hand.

Can pets or babies crawl under it?

The gate has no bar across the floor. Instead, the floor lock holds the bottom of the mesh down to prevent crawling underneath. Mounted low, the gap under the mesh can be as little as about 1″, depending on how high you mount it.

Can I use it outdoors?

Yes. The mesh is weather-resistant, and the 118″ gate is sized for wide spaces like patios and garages. Mount it between rigid surfaces, such as wood or a solid wall.

Can I use it on a deck or balcony?

Yes, as an opening the gate spans, such as a deck or balcony entrance. Mount it between rigid surfaces only, never across windows and never in suspended positions.

Does the mesh sag?

Fiberglass support rods run through the mesh to keep it from sagging. When you hook the gate on, pull the mesh out so it’s level and wrinkle-free, as the manual describes.

Is the mesh scratch-resistant and bite-resistant?

Yes, the mesh is scratch-resistant and bite-resistant. Check the gate regularly for loose parts and a secure install, as the manual says.

Is it a dog gate or a baby gate?

Both. The same retractable gate keeps babies, toddlers, dogs and puppies safely contained. It is for children 6 to 24 months, and you should never leave a child unattended.

Why should I register my gate?

So we can reach you if there’s ever a safety alert or recall for your gate. We use registration details for that and nothing else. Register your gate.
