Barriere tres pratique. Pas evident a manier d une main. Filet n est pas super tendu. A voir dans le temps. A ete approuve par le Pmi pour mon travail.
Great, smart looking child safety gate.
Would be no good for keeping pets in though, as would scratch and tear easily with claws.
Fitting instructions easy to follow, but I recommend two people to hold template and marking up.
We needed to add, and paint, a little extra piece of wood behind the top fitting, to wall, (as shown on photo)as the bottom sticking out skirting board affect the fitting.
We also added No Nails glue when screwing into wall, for extra strength!!
Look really smart, and grandchildren not figured out how to open yet!!
(Mind you, even adults can’t figure it out, unless shown!!)
Had to find a suitable sized block of wood to mount one of the receiving brackets to match the thickness of the skirting board. Easy enough to install. Takes a bit of getting used to using…it has quite a recall kick and tends to gather up and wrinkle the ‘gate’…we tend to not retract it, we just open it, walk through and click it shut behind us. Its so much more descrete than a wooden or metal gate and as we are a childless couple using it to keep our dogs downstairs a regular childcare would have looked a bit strange. Thinking of getting another to keep dogs in when french doors are open.
This is a new type of stair safety gate. It works similarly to the seatbelt in a car. The gate retracts into the inertial reel. The white one looks clean and hygienic so is especially suitable for visiting young children. An adult soon gets used how to operate it but you need agile fingers to move the safety clips.
A perfect dog guard. I researched all gates before buying this. It meets my needs perfectly. It can be fitted on any surface at any angle. Very easy to operate. You press a button and switch and this then allows you to pull the fabric across and clip it in. The gate then locks (we don’t need this as our dog is not smart enough yet to open this lock!). You can open the gate briefly to walk through without retracting. This makes it practical if you need to do this often. It looks smart and is unobtrusive compared to other metal gates (see photos). Very easy to fit. Two templates are provided and the instructions are clear. Took ten mins to get it fitted. If your dog is a locksmith/escape artist/high hurdler/Steve McQueen then they will probably escape. If they are then I would recommend some training. If not then this gate will be perfect for them and you.
Love my new gate we had one
At top of the stairs for baby no1 but baby no2 is much more keen on climbing the stairs so purchased same gate for bottom of the stairs. It’s easy to install and use and means we are not tripping over the bottom of a gate, due to the retraction.
Would definitely recommend.
Es perfecto, se auto fija y la lona parece resistente, esperemos que fue , buena esttica y buen material
Great stair gate. It looks so nice, and it’s a bit more expensive but you get what you pay for. I’m glad we paid the extra because in the evening when it’s open you barely notice it and I feel like I have my house back.
J’ai pos cette barrire pour stopper l’accs des escaliers aux enfants .
C’est la deuxime barrire que j’achte. C’est vraiment un trs bon produit.
Very good space saver gate, However should come with spacers for skirting board.
Love this stair gate. We needed something that would screw into the banister so needed to be tall. This fits perfect. Very easy to operate and look far better than the metal gates we have used in the past. We use it to keep the dogs from going upstairs.
.Assistante maternelle j’ai install cette barrire en haut et en bas de mes escaliers. Trs pratique
Trs facile installer et hyper pratique
Pas de soucis de porte battante et esthtiquement rien a dire a passe inaperu
Really nice product and retracts neatly when you don’t need it.
Easy to operate even for our 7 year old.
Brilliant product..
Very easy to install and to use even with one hand..
This is a great stair gate. Live in an old beamed listed building cottage and is is effective and unobtrusive for grandchild and dog visitors. I have very narrow steep stairs !
Gnial . Super pratique l’utilisation. L’insta Et trs facile et vraiment je l’u Tout les jours car je suis assistante maternelle. Et elle ne tient vraiment pas de place une fois ferme
I bought this for the bottom of my stairs for my dogs as one of them has a knee injury and can’t climb. Also, I’m pregnant and needed something easy and wide for me!
The gate was super easy to mount with the templates and worked very well for almost a week.. It was no match for my uninjured dog that simply couldn’t face sleeping downstairs during the evening. He chewed at the mesh and pulled at it so much he managed to pull the bottom fixture out of the wall, plaster and all.
Obviously not going to mark the product down because had my dog not been an absolute muppet, we’d have had no issues.
Produit super pratique et esthtique.
Barriere impeccable pour la scurit des enfants
Ho 2 nipotini che hanno appena imparato a camminare….e in montagna delle scale pericolose: facile da montare in una situazione dove ero obbligato per conformazione delle scale a montare il cancelletto fissandolo al muro e con le due parti non in asse tra loro. Veramente quello che ci voleva
en fin j ai trouv une barrire qui tiens quand on la pose facile a install mais toutes fois une peu chre mais je ne regrette pas mon achat bien aau contraire
The best safety gate I’ve ever used – and I’ve tried lots! Easy to open one handed, can open without retracting completely and I love that you have the versatility of keeping it open so no faffing unnecessarily when baby is not about. It isn’t noisy like other retractable gates either.
I’ve never written a review before, but felt compelled as I wish another mum had told me about this gate earlier! It is expensive, and a little tricky to install, but absolutely worth it!
Peut s’utiliser d’une seule main, et rien que pour cela, on est trs satisfaits.
A aussi le gros avantage de ne pas gner lors de l’ouverture, contrairement aux barrires mtalliques.
cancelletto con un’estetica piacevole lo uso per il mio cane di taglia media e funziona benissimo,bisogna fare attenzione quando si fanno i fori di fissaggio ma incluso una dima di foraggio.L’unico difetto che ho riscontrato la tela stata cucita non in modo perfetto e sul lato superiore risulta meno tesa di quello inferiore,tutto sommato la consiglio
It’s expensive as using for a gate for my dog but looks better than a metal standard one & easy to fit/use
La compr porque el hueco de mi escalera es muy ancho para las barandillas standard y la verdad es que me ha resuelto el problema
Trs belle article. Enfin une barrire qui ne fait pas moche dans une maison. Aucun risque de se prendre les pieds dans la barre de seuil.
Bonne protection pour sparer chien et chat .Comme a chacun fait sa petite vie.
Fait un peu de bruit quand elle ce rtracte
Bon produit, de qualit, jolie esthtiquement.
Contente de mon achat.
Used as a barrier for my dog, can be used one handed, keeps the dog where I want him, tucks away nice and tidy, fairly easy to install, would be 5 stars but a little pricey, good product.
Aprs 2 mois d’utilisation cette barrire tient bien la route.
Rien signaler, le systme de scurit n’a jamais fait dfaut et le pan ne se dtend pas, pourtant bb y prend appui.
L’avantage c’est qu’il n’y a pas de socle ce qui est souvent le cas pour d’autres modles de barrires, ce qui laisse le passage totalement libre lorsqu’elle est ouverte, et donc sans accroc possible.
A conseiller, surtout en haut des escaliers , notamment par rapport au dtail voqu prcdemment.
je suis nounou je cherchais une barrire pratique et pas difficile a ouvrir ..Celle ci est est parfaite …trs simple a poser je la recommande vraiment .trs bon produit.du coup j’en ai repris une deuxime ….
Carino esteticamente. Sia chiuso che aperto. In questa posizione sembra quasi non esserci.
Fa la sua funzione per il momento tiene lontano la piccola dalla scala.
Per ancorato a alla ringhiera ho usato delle fascette da elettricista. Funziona. Dall’altro lato obbligatorio forare il muro.
Unico neo che vale la quinta stella il sistema di apertura e soprattutto di chiusura. Bisogna prima incassare il paletto e poi premere un doppio pulsante. Insomma un Po macchinoso da fare con una mano. Ma vale il fatto di vederlo sparire quando non serve.
Solide, facile installer. Il y a un guide pour installer les clips du coup pas de mesure prendre on est direct dans “les clous”. Solide une bonne longueur impeccable.
Trs bien Pour rendre inaccessible des escaliers extrieurs un bb qui commence marcher. Attention bien installer les montants parfaitement de niveau sinon la barrire se tend mal.
This is a nice looking guard, installed a few steps up, not for children but to keep our 2 dogs from sneaking upstairs. Used several thin layers of cork from cork tiles to act as a butt because of the stairs has a skirting board, cheaper option than buying extra for the guard. Better than metal guard, does not need to be retracted, just leave loose in bottom hole and let it lean if popping up and down stairs (not recommended to do this if using with small children. Would buy again if needed, but with children would need 2 top and bottom of stairs.
barrire pour animaux,
bon produit
mais malheureusement pas de manuel de montage en franais
J’AI ACHETE CET ARTICLE POUR EMPECHER L’ACCES AUX ESCALIERS POUR LES ENFANTS EN BAS AGE.
BARRIERE FACILE A MONTER ; TRES EFFICACE ; SYSTEME D’OUVERTURE ET DE FERMETURE FACILE POUR LES
ADULTES MAIS COMPLIQUE POUR UN JEUNE ENFANT.
Nous avons install la barrire depuis hier seulement en biais en haut d’un escalier ! la barrire s’ouvre trs facilement d’une main avec mon fils dans les bras, en revanche, il est plus difficile de l’enrouler avec une seule main. Le tissage semble rsistant bien qu’un peu “lche”. J’en suis trs satisfaite !
Good but could do with another tensioner at the bottom to make it more taught as it can be manipulated by small doggos.
Product was recommended by a family member. Very pleased, it’s easy to install and use and ticks away neatly. Well worth the money.
Barrire de scurit au TOP.
Vous n’allez pas le regretter, si vous aussi vous avez un loulou qui gambade plus vite que vous, vous allez tre rassur.
Barrire qui est gale celles qui valent 120-150.
Reu trs rapidement (3 jours en avance).
looks nice when it is folded (or retracted) – sits snugly to wall so very unobstrusive.
Trs bon produit je recommande pour tous les parents qui cherche une protection sans contrainte et qui peut se laisser ouvert sans soucis
Nice neat gate . Would have given a 5 star but was more difficult to fit than expected. It requires a completely flat wall to fit simply but most staircases have a skirting board as does ours and we had to get a strip of wood and shape to skirting and then glue to wall before we could fit the gate. It also keeps slipping out of the non opening side at bottom as it is hard to measure hole positioning when you have a carpet as it compresses the carpet and therefore leaves a gap so have to keep re-fixing this side. However saying that as our puppy isn’t a particularly naughty dog it stops her going up the stairs but I don’t think it would stop a very determined boisterous pup.
This solved a problem where a straight gate wouldn’t fit. Its nice and tidy and easy to install. Very happy.
We didn’t have any other safety gate that would work in the small opening leading up to our loft room so this one works well. Opening and closing is a bit fiddley but it keeps my daughter safe from climbing those stairs.
Made life so much easier easy to fit and use
Use as doggy gate. Does the job really well and rolls away very neatly unlike other gates. I think you need two hands to operate so if carrying baby might not be simple to use.
Super barrire se fond dans le decor pratique et jolie vraiment je suis trs satisfaite de cet achat je le recommande.
Pratique (ouverture a 1 main grce sa minuterie), peu encombrante et solide. Je la recommand pour mettre vos enfants a l’abri d une chute. Mon fils appuie parfois dessus et elle reste bien en place
Easy to set up and does the job well. A little bit of noise.
easy to fit, compact when recessed and much more practical on steps than a fixed gate
I was slightly put off by the price as we needed 3, but these stair gates are well worth every penny! No more trip hazards, no more gate getting in the way, just use and retract when you don’t need it. We’ve had lots of comments from visitors about how great they are.
Our large cat can squeeze under the gates so may not be great for those wanting to use them for small dogs. But for children these are perfect!
Cette barrire est conforme la description. Reue dans les temps. Nous avons un escalier trs troit et un autre trs large pour lesquels nous ne pouvions acheter de barrire “standard”. Celle-ci est parfaite. Mes grands enfants peuvent la manier trs facilement pour l’ouverture et la fermeture. Trs scurise pour le petit dernier.
This is great – I love how it folds back when not in use and doesn’t make your house look like a prison, plus my 18 month old escapologist cant open it. It’s easy to open with one hand although a little bit tricky to close. Also remember to shut it before your child is asleep because the rachet mechanism is sooooo noisy. None of that has put me off though and I’m buying another one for the top of the stairs. Definitely worth the money.
un peu cher mais genial je suis assitante maternelle et j en avais marre de ces barrieres qui prennent normment de places s enroule et se deroule facileme
Excellent for wider staircases in old houses. Very easy to put up with the useful templates for the screw holes. I like that it retracts out of the way completely.
Fantastic! Easy to install and works well. It looks nice to.
Facile a installer et pratique d’utilisation, une fois habitu on peut l’ouvrir et la fermer d’une main. Assez esthtique une fois ouverte on ne la voit mme plus.
Dose the job, a little fiddly to start with and you do need two hands to retract it back in.
A little bit fiddly to use and my 9 and 11 year old kids tend to yank it (I suppose it is supposed to be childproof), but keeps my puppy in an awkward space that a stairgate wouldn’t fit and not as obtrusive.
Solide et de bonne qualits, mme si il n’y a qu’une srie de fixation, il faut donc racheter une autre
barrire si ont veux la positionner en haut ou en bas d’un escalier par exemple, dommage.
beaucoup mieux qu’une barrire de scurit classique pour le haut et le bas des escaliers. Meme avec bb dans les bras on arrive ouvrir et fermer. En + quand le store est enroul, la barrire reste discrete, top.
Great for the bottom of the stairs or using to section off a corridor. Not advised for top of stairs – also box says not for use with children >2 years…….???? Anyway when the kids are in bed its nice not to feel like we live in a jail. Very discreet and easy to open close. Even with one hand.
I have now bought three of threse as they were so easy to install and good value. Easy to use as well.
Really great child proof barrier! Easy to fit and to use… we bought it to stop our grandchildren from falling down the stairs and over the years we’ve had loads of ‘child proof gates’ but I think that this one is by far the best! A little pricey but very good!
This is a great gate if you are looking for something that hides away nicely. It blends in well and looks the part. The locking mechanism works well and the retracting is smooth with no problems.
We bought it to be installed at the bottom of our stairs to stop our dog coming upstairs. This was successful until he realised that he could squeeze himself underneath the gate. As it is made from fabric it does have a bit of give and with a bit of struggling he is soon underneath and on the other side.
We also needed to buy the additional spacers as we had skirting at the bottom which pushes the fitting brackets out leaving a gap at the top that needs the spacers.
Overall this is a great gate and is perfect for children or bigger dogs but i wouldn’t recommend it for puppies or small breed. We have two cocker spaniels. The older 3 year old can’t get through but the 6 months old pup wriggles his way through.
Parfait , solide et facile installer, fiable bb ne passerra pas !Pas de difficults spciales pour l’ouvrir ou la fermer , mon fils de 6 ans et demi y arrive
Arrived on time, easy to install (note: fixings kit is in bottom of package, easy to miss if you open the box at the wrong end). Absolutely does the job keeping our small dog away from the stairs.
We bought this stairgate in 2016 to stop the dog using the stairs. My husband has developed dementia and is very unsteady on his feet, 2 days ago he stumbled at the top of the stairs and fell against the stairgate, it held all 9 stone of him until the plaster on the wall gave way and he slid gracefully down 13 stairs. The only injury was a carpet burn to his face. I am buying another as the closing rod is slightly bent. Highly recommended as it stopped a full grown man. Space saving and not cumbersome like the rigid ones and so easy to fit and use and it still stops the dog and the grandchildren.
Just be sure to measure your skirting boards. We have really wide skirting boards and this had to go on the wall above them. Much better than a traditional gate and you can still get wider items in and out of the hallway.
Seule barrire adaptable dans un escalier qui ne fait que 66cm de large. Assez solide pour rsister aux attaques de mon fils! Il faut juste ne pas s’agacer les premires fois qu’on l’utilise lorsqu’on ne synchronise pas les 2 actions sur les boutons ((pousser vers la droite d’un cot et appuyer en bas de l’autre) pour que a s’enroule correctement.
La barrire s installe facilement et peut s ouvrir et se fermer d une seule main. Elle est secure en plus d tre plus esthtique que celles en bois (selon mes gots). Je recommande vivement ce produit !
j’ai dcouvert ce type d’ouverture qui ne bloque pas les adultes au quotidien, on ferme quand on le dsire
je suis satisfaite de mon achat
faites bien attention dans la boite vous avez un modele de mesure pour faire les trous, que nous n’avons pas vu de suite,
a vite de perdre du temps au montage
Good product, seems to be reliable (has been up 2 weeks so far). Closing it is a little bit tricky, but is entirely possible to do it one-handed with a little one in the other arm. The material does move around when you lean against it but puts up enough resistance that even a full grown man (i.e. me) can’t lean on it and make it break.
Excellent customer service, easily reachable on the phone, happy to chat you through issues and return if you’re not 100% happy (although that turned out not to be necessary for me).
One of the top buys for parents!
As I didn’t want a large metal solid gate which was not very discrete, I decided to opt for this retractable one. Which the standard ‘gate’ type doors, if you were to leave it open, it would just get in the way. Very annoying. Anyway, once delivered, I checked the box, and was pleasantly surprised that they included templates for both the left and right side door components, so there is no chance that it would go wrong. They also supply screws and wall plugs, so that was good as well.
In practice, you will need a solid backing/wall, and you could even potentially use the door frame (as I did). It’s a little wobbly on a frame, but it’s good enough for 1 yr old child not to break through.
The material the ‘door’ is made from is a rubberised mesh type of material which makes it partially see through, so the little one can see to the otherside.
Recommend this. It’s slightly more than the standard gates, but you’re paying for the discreteness.
I got this to put at the top of the stairs. We wanted something discreet, which this is, especially when compared to the metal gates. We didn’t want a trip hazard either.
Yes, you have to screw it into the wall/banisters, but that is simply a choice you make when buying a gate. My husband said it was easy enough to do, though if we get a second, he would do things slightly differently. He had to construct a wood insert to make the fittings align, due to our skirting. He has fitted the parts you click the gate into quite far around the side which makes it slightly tricky to open/shut the gate but this is still possible one handed- you have to push in a button on one side of the ‘pole’ of the gate and slide down the bottom on the opposite side of the pole.
A little awkward perhaps to get the best hand position bit easy to do!
My main issue with the gate is the button you have to push and slide across to retract/pull across the gate- it is quite stiff to do and makes a decent amount of noise- I am not sure why this couldn’t be a quieter and smoother action….
But overall happy. When it is open, it is quite hard to see and when retracted, the fixings are also fairly discreet, which is what we wanted.
You do need to place this a little way back from the edge of the top stair for safety reasons.
Brilliant. This is much better than a metal gate that is always in the way when not in use – this hides away and you don’t notice it at all until you use it. Bubba is pretty sturdy and she has pushed all her weight onto it, it’s been fine and it is a secure barrier for her.
It looks very nice for a gate. Unlocking mechanism could be easier.
Produit pas mal mais reste un peu fragile au niveau de la fermeture. C’est dommage que l’ouverture d’une main reste impossibles surtout avec un bb dans les bras.
excellent stair gate and really handy how it folds completely out of the way when you dont want it there. we have it across a double door opening into a conservatory.
La verja cumple las espectativas y se merece 5 estrellas, pero le doy 4 porque tiene un pequeo inconveniente, no viene preparada para salvar el grosor de los rodapis y hay que adaptarlo (como la mayora de verjas), por el resto perfecto.
Superb product. My husband had to install this because you need to drill the side of door. But other than that, it works brilliantly for my 2 years old. During day time, it can be neatly folded away and looks discreet. ( You know it is there, but it doesn’t scream out)
Trs pratique rien au sols comme certaines .solide et esthtique.facile d’utilisation pour un adulte .
Je recommande ce produit bon rapport qualit prix
A very good gate it can be rolled back out the way when not being used.
Very happy with the product. Doesn’t take too long to fit. Vast improvement on metal bar alternatives which my son could force down really. Only had this product a little while but very happy with it thus fa
easy installation and operation. When closed you cannot even notice it.
I bought 2 for using at top and bottom of the stairs. Very easy to use. 🙂
Looks fine and works as described, but I have one slight issue with it – this may be specific to my wall, etc, but the bottom screw on the top bracket which attaches the gate to the wall isn’t long enough in my opinion, because the screw head is quite far from the wall and when I attempted to screw it in it wouldn’t tighten in the wall plug. Result was that when the gate was closed, the whole thing pivoted on the top screw and didn’t look safe at all. I fixed this by substituting the supplied screw (they’re all the same length, which is about one inch) with a much longer one (and wall plug) of my own. The gate is now tight on the wall and no issues with pivoting, etc.
As a childminder I did not want bulky gates taking over when I’m not at work & these gates (I bought 2) are perfect as, when not in use, are practically out of view
OMG this is just fantastic. What did I do before I found these?! I’ve ended up buying 4 of them. You can close them when you want and when you don’t need them it’s like there is no gate there and you have your house back! Superb!
This safety gate is brilliant, easy to fit and good against both children and dog escaping.
Have spend months trying to find a gate that fit our awkward stair banister posts. This is great – no trip bar, retracts so out of the way when not in use and comes with brilliant templates to mark positions for the screws do you don’t even need to do any measuring. Awesome.
That one goes on my 10 best baby buys list. Easy assembly, rolls away when not in use, no tripping hazard on top of the stairs, locking system hard to override by child! I can go on and on…
This is really easy to use and to fix to the wall, the only downside is that we have a large skirting board on the stairs so leaves quite a large gap (got this to stop the dogs going up the stairs and a few can squeeze under!) It is a little bulky when folded up but you can remove it easily if it is only an occasional safety gate so all in all I think its pretty good (it isnt bulky enough to be a pain tho if you did want it up the whole time).
From a child point of view I think it is excellent (my son is 9 so no longer required) but it cant just be opened easily so would be good with toddlers as well.
Great product, I installed it easily and it is very convenient. I bought two, one for each floor.
I `m delighted with this product. I did a bit of research prior to buying as there are a lot of retractable gates on the Market. I wasn’t sure about the Safetots version as it seems to offer more advanced features but at a cheaper price than the others. However, it’s arrived, I put it up easily, it’s working perfectly and exactly what I wanted. One feature I really liked which I wouldn’t find on the others, was the option to open and walk through the gate without having to retract it all the way. If you are intending to use the gate regularly, this really takes the hassle out of the operation. A very good product at a great price.
Works brilliantly at the bottom of our stairs; there are things either side which can’t be covered by a door-style gate. The post at the side is quite un-obtrusive. The mechanism is really easy to use one-handed. It seems very robust and solid, like it will withstand a lot of use. Also, its very quiet; I hated the noise that the wooden door-style gates make when my little girl stands and rattles them and also when clunking the lock in place. This gate is almost silent, other than the noise from the ratchet. The only thing I would change is the colour; although ours is new, the bright white would, I imagine, get quite dirty and dusty over time and may start to look old. A darker grey option would be better. Other than that I think this is a great buy and also much better value than the Lascal gates which are similar and twice the price. When our other baby gates need replacing I will be swapping them all for this one.
Fantastic, safety gate for Small Children, dogs and infirm adults. Easily pulled out when required and not in the way at other times
