Do not Buy Retract-A-Gate for Cats or Dogs: Part 2

[jaxieoaxie]

My 33 pound dog figured out how to get under the gate all by himself. I wasn't even home. And the bottom of my gate just skimms the floor. If a dog, or cat, wants out, they will get out if they're smart enough. Now I have to duct tape the thing to the floor so he can't get his nose under it to lift it.

gee, lets go to the how to use page on the retract-a-gate website and read the installation instructions. I found the problem! The gate is installed wrong! the bottom brackets are supposed to be 3 inches off the ground not closer to 6 and it looks as though the bracket is facing the wrong direction as well. Ive followed the instructions for my retract-a-gates i have for my cats without an issue. i bet if he fixed is improper install hed be fine.

Very helpful. I was about to order this gate to confine a cat, and it's abundantly clear that when motivated (as I know he will be), he'll quite likely be able to go under the gate. Thanks for posting !
