does this gate make a loud noise when retracting

Yes, unless you hold the button down when you are closing it. This requires you to use two hands while closing, though.

It does make a loud noise, but that's meant as a safety measure so you know if your child actually gets it unlocked. You have to push down and twist a knob to unlock it. I have found that if you hold the knob as you retract the gate, it is MUCH quieter than if you were to just unlock it and let go of the knob.

Afraid so, not enough to wake a baby in another room...but you won't be sneaking in or out of the room using this gate.

It does make a noise whether we go slowly or fast, and going fast you risk the plastic handle slapping back into the mounted part. It's not loud but it's noticeable.

Yes it makes a louder noise...for safety reasons. But if you hold the push button in and turned, then it doesn't really. I would only find this necessary to do though if I needed to be in stealth mode. My kids learned that the sound of the gate related to going up the stairs so they would come running. It was actually nice though since I had triplets and it was a great way to get their attention. I LOVE the gate, by the way.

If you let it go slowly, yes it does. But if you do it quickly it does not make a noise. Even when it does, it's not loud enough that it would ever wake our sleeping baby, if that is a concern

It makes a noise whether it's opend quickly or slowly. It's a racheting sound is what it reminds me of. Our gate is at the top ot the stairs and that wall is the wall of my son's room. He has never woken up when we open or close it. Although he sleeps through everything.

It can at times. Makes a clicking noise if the dial isn't turned properly while retracting. In my experiences it isn't often. Overall for us that is a minor issue compared to the benefit of having a retractable gate.

No. Gate works with tension. If not a straight tight fit it may not close properly.

you have to close it yourself and latch it. I love this gate. We have a 60 pound goldendoodle puppy who loves to put his paws up on it when he gets excited to see us. super sturdy

no, it makes a slight clicking noise - not as loud as some other push toys such as the 'popcorn popper' push toy.

YES, comes with a large key type that turns and releases the gate to be able to move. This has happened to me when Electric had been shut off. Keep the key handy that's all. I have had mine installed at least 3 years and it still works every time I push my remote. The only thing remote takes those special batteries which I keep in Freezer...replace only two times...! I love this opener...

Not at all. We purchased this item and after several months of use we have not had any noise issues or grinding from lifting the gate.

Yes, there is an option that you can switch on for the gate to close itself after it is open. The duration is programmable.

I don't have a problem shutting the door, but it does make a little bit of noise

There is a small motor inside to move the deadbolt in and out. So that makes some sound. Also It does make a small chirp sound when operating.

Yes. it comes off easily. So easily that my toddlers can take it off by themselves. Do yourself a favor and do not get this gate. It is horrible.

Yes, there is a very light clicking sound. Not a loud one that you might here from something like the Power Tail Switch, but a gentle one. If complete quiet is important, you might want to look into the solid-state version of this relay.

no its actually a pretty loud click. my wife has asked a few times, "what's that noise?" We've gotten used to it.
665753
No it doesn't. It's very quiet, no squeaking. The only noise is the latch clicking shut.
786572
Yes. It takes a little time so you may want to look into a pressure mounted gate that opens instead. But I do move this gate regularly.

Yes, it makes a hinge-swinging sound when closing. It's a saloon-style swinging door out of an old western - when a dog either goes out quickly or comes in quickly, the doors oscillate back-and-forth a couple of times in decreasing amplitude as they return to the fully-shut position. It's not a loud noise, more like a muffled "whump" kind of sound. I like the sound, because it's just loud enough that you can tell when a dog in the back hall has gone outside. When they come running inside and around the corner, you see the dog and hear the dog so the sound of the door is background noise.

Yes, there is a switch to close gate automatically. there is also a timer to set the close time.

It's loud, but it's not a problem. It's working just find, I think it's just the mechanism that makes it so you can't just pull it and it keeps going and going and going lol
