Retract-A-Gate is “JPMA
Certified”; what does that mean?
The Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association, Inc. (JPMA)
is a national trade organization formed in 1962 that is dedicated
to educating consumers on the safe use and selection of juvenile
products. JPMA developed an extensive Certification Program to
help guide consumers toward purchasing juvenile products that are
built with safety in mind. To become JPMA Certified, Retract-A-Gate
was professionally tested by an independent testing facility for
compliance with the specific American Society for Testing & Materials
(ASTM) standards. Once a product passes the tests, JPMA allows
the manufacturer to label it with the JPMA Certified Seal.
Can Retract-A-Gate be used at the top of stairs?
If so, can it be mounted to stair spindles or banister poles?
Yes, Retract-A-Gate is certified for use at the top of stairs and
can withstand a push out
force of up to 200 pounds. On each side of the opening, the bottom
brackets mount at
about 3 inches off the floor and the top brackets mount at about
31 inches off the floor. The
brackets require a flat surface of 2.5 inches to mount to. If your
spindles or banister offers
this space then there should be no problem mounting the brackets.
Will my child be able to climb over or unlock the gate?
With a mesh height of 34 inches, Retract-A-Gate is one of the tallest
gates available, so it presents a challenge to children in that they
cannot even reach or see the lock; the extra height also deters them
from trying to climb over the gate. When locked, the mesh is held
taut, so that it cannot be pushed down. Retract-A-Gate does not have
any large openings or places where kids can step up onto, so climbing
over the gate would be very difficult.
Why is Retract-A-Gate better than the competitors’ gates?
Retract-A-Gate is the only retractable gate which offers the best
combination of safety, durability, ease-of-use, and ease-of-installation.
Retract-A-Gate can truly be operated with one hand, offers an easy,
smooth operation, and can be used in multiple locations using an
additional set of brackets. Retract-A-Gate is also unique in that
its operation is quiet; you don't need to worry about waking up your
baby or just simply being annoyed by a noisy gate.
