How to Choose a Retractable Safety Gate in Australia (Stairs, Doorways & Wide Openings)

If you’re shopping for a retractable gate, the “best” option depends on where you’re installing it, how wide the opening is, and whether you need a gate that disappears when not in use. Use this quick guide to choose the right setup for your home.

1) Best Placement: Where Retractable Gates Work Best

• Stairs: Great when you need a secure barrier and want to keep walkways clear—use a hardware-mounted install for maximum stability.
• Doorways: Perfect for everyday rooms like kitchens, laundries, and bedrooms—easy one-hand access.
• Hallways: Ideal for narrow spaces where swing gates feel bulky.
• Patios / indoor-outdoor areas: Helpful for keeping toddlers (or small pets) in safe zones.

2) Measuring Guide: Get the Right Width (Including 3m Openings)

Measure the opening at the height where you’ll mount the brackets (not just at floor level). For wide spaces, choose a size that comfortably covers your maximum span—this gate supports options up to 180cm / 300cm.

• Tip: If your opening is close to the maximum width, allow a little buffer for the mounting position and angle.
• For uneven walls or trims: check both sides of the opening—some homes differ by a few mm.

3) Stairs Safety Notes: Top vs Bottom of Stairs

• Top of stairs: Install on the landing where possible (not on a step). Ensure the locking system is easy for adults to operate but secure for kids.
• Bottom of stairs: Position to block access early (before the first step) and keep the pathway clear.
• Installation matters most: for stair locations, a drill/hardware mount is recommended for the strongest hold.

4) One-Handed Operation & Locking: What to Look For

In real life, you’re often holding a baby, toys, or groceries. A smooth one-hand open/close design makes daily use easier, and a reliable safety lock helps prevent accidental openings.

5) Wall-Mount Strength, Skirting Boards & Spacers

Many Australian homes have skirting boards, trims, or uneven surfaces that can affect mounting. Before installing:

• Check if the bracket will sit flush against the wall (skirting boards may require spacing).
• Mount into a solid surface where possible for maximum stability.
• If you’re using the adhesive no-drill kit, ensure the surface is clean, smooth, and dry before applying.

6) Extra Stability Option: Bottom-Locking Base (Install Only If Needed)

This gate includes an optional bottom-locking base. You can install it when you want extra stability and a more secure setup—especially helpful in high-traffic areas. Prefer a cleaner look? Leave it off and use the gate as standard.

7) Can It Work as a Pet Gate?

Many families also use retractable mesh gates to help manage small pets in the home. For energetic or larger pets that jump or push hard, a rigid hardware swing gate may be a better choice.

Quick Comparison: Retractable vs Pressure-Mounted vs Hardware Swing Gates

Bottom line: If you want a clean, space-saving gate that works beautifully for wide openings and tight spaces—especially with a 3m option—a retractable roll-up design is often the best fit.
